Musk's merger dream is a nightmare for SpaceX shareholders

SpaceX and Tesla have each established special committees composed of independent directors to explore a merger between the two companies; after the news was announced, Tesla's stock rose 3.4% and SpaceX rose 7.8%, adding $155 billion in market value. At a 30% premium, SpaceX would need to pay about $1.98 trillion to acquire Tesla and issue new shares equivalent to 92% of its existing share capital, increasing its shares from 13.1 billion to 25 billion. Tesla's GAAP net profit over the past four quarters was only $3.28 billion, while SpaceX lost $1.5 billion over the same period; after the merger, SpaceX shareholders would give up nearly half of future earnings.

The US market has never bet so heavily on a single theme, but AI returns may take decades

Ming Lu, a senior advisor at KKR, believes the scale of the US market's bet on AI is unprecedented, but the payoff will come far later than the market expects.

The combined market value of the "Magnificent Seven" is $25 trillion, accounting for 35% of the S&P 500.

Google Agents CLI Launches Extension System: From ADK to LangChain, All Can Plug In

Starting with version 1.5.0, Google Cloud's Agents CLI introduces an Extension System that allows developers to override or add commands without forking the tool; version 1.8.0 debuts the first LangChain extension, replacing ADK-bound commands with equivalent LangChain implementations. Extensions are declared via agents-cli-extension.yaml in a Git repository and can override built-in commands such as playground, deploy, and eval generate, or add new commands; enterprise platform teams can use this to enforce policies such as SBOM scanning in deployment pipelines.
