Dan Ives On Why 2026 Is The Start Of Tesla’s $3 Trillion AI Chapter

Tesla is poised to reach a $3 trillion valuation by 2026, driven by its advancements in AI, autonomous vehicles, and robotics, which are expected to outweigh its challenges in EV sales and regulatory pressures ## Questions to inspire discussion.

Autonomous Driving Deployment Timeline.

🚕 Q: What are Tesla’s specific robotaxi deployment targets for 2026?

A: Tesla aims to launch robotaxis without safety drivers in 30 cities by 2026 while significantly expanding geo-fenced areas in cities like Austin, leveraging its 10 million cars on the road to scale autonomy faster than competitors through superior data collection advantage.

🎯 Q: What evidence do investors need to see in 2026 to validate Tesla’s autonomous strategy?

A: Investors must see city-by-city proof of autonomous accuracy, achievement of true level 5 autonomy, measurable regulatory progress, and rapid scaling capability across multiple markets to confirm the long-term bullish thesis.

Interpol-led action decrypts 6 ransomware strains, arrests hundreds

An Interpol-coordinated initiative called Operation Sentinel led to the arrest of 574 individuals and the recovery of $3 million linked to business email compromise, extortion, and ransomware incidents.

Between October 27 and November 27, the investigation, which involved law enforcement in 19 countries, took down more than 6,000 malicious links and decrypted six distinct ransomware variants.

Interpol says that the cybercrime cases investigated are connected to more than $21 million in financial losses.

The Governance Case for Tesla Taking a Pre-IPO Stake in SpaceX

Elon Musk is considering Tesla taking a pre-IPO stake in SpaceX to integrate their businesses, accelerate ambitious projects, and increase the value of both companies ## ## Questions to inspire discussion.

Strategic Governance Alignment.

🔄 Q: Why should Tesla acquire a pre-IPO stake in SpaceX rather than waiting until after the IPO? A: A pre-IPO stake resolves governance and conflict risks before SpaceX’s planned $30B IPO in mid-2026, ensuring all transactions are recorded as part of the IPO and avoiding complications that could impact IPO pricing or create persistent post-IPO conflicts between the two companies.

🎯 Q: What is the core governance problem Tesla shareholders currently face with SpaceX? A: Tesla shareholders are exposed to SpaceX outcomes through dependencies on Starlink connectivity, orbital compute, and launch cadence without any ownership rights, governance rights, or downside protection as the companies converge operationally but not financially.

⚖️ Q: How would a pre-IPO stake transaction affect Tesla’s ownership structure and Musk’s control? A: The transaction would dilute Tesla by 20% but could raise market cap to $1.62-2T, increasing Musk’s stake to 22.1–24% and his net worth approaching $1T, enabling him to achieve 25% control significantly earlier than under the compensation plan.

Clop ransomware targets Gladinet CentreStack in data theft attacks

The Clop ransomware gang (also known as Cl0p) is targeting Internet-exposed Gladinet CentreStack file servers in a new data theft extortion campaign.

Gladinet CentreStack enables businesses to securely share files hosted on on-premises file servers through web browsers, mobile apps, and mapped drives without requiring a VPN. According to Gladinet, CentreStack “is used by thousands of businesses from over 49 countries.”

Since April, Gladinet has released security updates to address several other security flaws that were exploited in attacks, some of them as zero-days.

What Happens After Death? Asimov’s Terrifying Answer

Isaac Asimov’s The Last Answer is a chilling dive into what happens after death — not heaven, not hell, but an eternity trapped with a godlike entity that’s impossibly bored. This breakdown reveals the unsettling conversation between a dead physicist and the cosmic intelligence that wants him to think forever. It’s dark, smart, and brutally honest about existence, purpose, and the terrifying possibility that the afterlife isn’t salvation… it’s a job you can’t quit.

SPACE4 Ukraine

There are a lot of great charities out there, including space. This is something different.

Imagine; Supporting space education. Giving children in the depths of a war hope and Permission to Dream. Laying the groundwork for an emerging democratic Space Nation by inspiring its children. In other words, doing something that might help the arc of history swing upwards — to the Stars!

In 2017, I traveled across Ukraine on a speaking tour. Even though the country was already at war, what I found wasn’t fear or despair — it was optimism. A fierce, almost defiant belief in the future and democratic values. I met hundreds of young Ukrainians, from teenagers gathered in tech cafés to little kids proudly showing me crayon drawings of the space stations and rockets they dreamed of building someday.

I think about those kids a lot now. I wonder how many of them are gone, how many never had the chance to grow into the engineers, artists, scientists, and explorers they were meant to be. It breaks my heart — and it also drives me to help the ones who are still here, still dreaming, still holding on to hope.

That’s why I launched SPACE4 Ukraine with my partner, Yuliya Kurokhtina — one of Ukraine’s leading business voices and a relentless philanthropist. Together, our mission is simple: give Ukrainian children direction, inspiration, and a reason to believe in their future. The same Permission to Dream that carried me through my own storms.

Most people don’t realize it, but Ukraine has a deep and remarkable space legacy. They helped build Sputnik. They designed the Zenit rockets. They powered Sea Launch. Their engineers remain among the best in the world. This legacy matters — not just historically, but as a beacon for their children: your future can be bigger than your present.

SPACE4 Ukraine is designed to be clear, direct, and transparent.

In domains such as supply chain management, local decisions can have global consequences. Ethical AI enables progress that stays true to shared values across all points of influence. Fair, transparent and accountable by design—this is how institutions can trust innovation to build smarter systems and a better world.

WORLDCHANGING Space Energy Supercharges AI! What it means for Nvidia, Tesla and Other AI Companies

Elon Musk plans to launch solar-powered AI satellites that could provide a nearly limitless source of energy to supercharge AI processing capacity, potentially disrupting traditional energy production and benefiting companies like Nvidia and Tesla ## ## Questions to inspire discussion.

Space Solar Power Economics.

🚀 Q: What’s the projected cost trajectory for space-based solar power? A: SpaceX could achieve $10 per watt for space solar by 2030–2032, down from previously estimated $100 per watt, with ultimate target of $1 per watt for operational systems, requiring 3–4 orders of magnitude cost reduction through Wright’s Law.

💰 Q: How much would launching 1 terawatt of space solar cost? A: Launching 1 terawatt of space solar power requires $1 trillion in launch costs alone, not including manufacturing and operational expenses.

⚡ Q: What energy advantage does space solar have over ground-based systems? A: Space solar plants generate 10x more energy than ground-based sources by operating 24/7 with double intensity, each equivalent to a nuclear power plant in output.

Where are all the trillion dollar biotechs?

Of the many trends people chase in biotech, the only one that proves sure and consistent is declining returns. Even after adjusting for inflation, the number of new drugs approved per $1 billion of R&D spending has halved approximately every nine years since 1950. Deloitte’s forecast R&D IRR for the top 20 pharmas fell below the industry’s cost of capital (~7–8%) between 2019 and 2022. In other words, while the industry remained profitable overall, the incremental economics of R&D investment were value-eroding rather than value-creating. So, while other industries have a reason to treat the current market downturn as transient, the business of developing medicine has a more fundamental problem to deal with — it is quite literally shrinking out of existence.
