- Revenue, earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA exceeded estimates at $14.58 billion, $0.35, and $8.81 billion.
- Capital expenditures totaled $19.59 billion, including $16.44 billion for AI, with both figures below expectations.
- Starlink was active in 174 markets at quarter-end, added 1.6 million consumers, and reached nearly 14 million subscribers.
- Musk said both companies formed independent committees to discuss a combination, but a merger was not certain.
I think both SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to discuss this idea. At the request of shareholders, and these special committees are consist of independent directors. And because I'm a conflicted party, I can't actually be in the discussions of the special committees.— Elon Musk during SpaceX earnings call addressing speculation about a SpaceX-Tesla merger

- Elon Musk announced plans to rename SpaceXAI as SpaceXSI but provided no timeline or details about the process.
- Donald Trump's September 29 executive order directs federal agencies to officially use “super intelligence” and “SI” instead of “artificial intelligence” and “AI.”
- The order tasks the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology with proposing legislative language for a federal definition within 60 days.
- Ahead of Monday's trading, SpaceX shares were up 0.3% premarket at $159.47, about 18% above their June IPO price of $135.
From this point forward, all of United States documents, and hopefully the world's will be changed to use the much more accurate term 'super' as opposed to artificial. So it's super intelligence,— Trump said, according to Reuters

- Elon Musk's company xAI filed a federal lawsuit challenging Minnesota's pioneering ban on AI-generated nude images on digital platforms.
- The law, effective Saturday, imposes fines up to $500,000 per violation and includes images created with the subject's consent.
- xAI argues the statute overreaches by banning constitutionally protected content and lacks protections for companies acting in good faith.
- Minnesota's Attorney General defends the law as necessary to prevent emotional and professional harm caused by nonconsensual AI nudification.
"But I know that using AI to generate nude images of people against their will is appalling. There are plenty of worthy debates to have about AI policy. This is not one of them. AI nudification robs the target of their dignity and can cause immense harm on an emotional, personal, and professional level," Ellison said.— Keith Ellison, Minnesota Attorney General, in a statement about xAI's lawsuit against Minnesota's nudification law

- The second-quarter report is due after the market close on Aug. 4; year-ago quarterly comparison figures are not yet available and are expected to be released with the results.
- The stock was priced at $135 in the IPO, climbed to nearly $200 on its third trading day, and later fell to a $112.55 closing price, roughly 17% below the offering price.
- SpaceX posted a loss of nearly $5.0 billion on $18.7 billion in 2025 sales, while it lost about $4.28 billion in the first quarter of 2026 and Starlink generated just under $1.2 billion in profit.
- The AI business produced $3.2 billion in revenue in 2025 and $818 million in the first quarter of 2026; Morningstar analyst Nicolas Owens says related investment more than doubled from 2024 to 2025 and could nearly double again in 2026.

- The 4,000-kilogram Falcon 9 upper stage lost control after delivering a lunar lander and struck the Moon with the force of three tons of TNT.
- NASA said the impact posed no immediate danger to Earth, while experts pointed to the Moon’s regular natural impacts and previous spacecraft crashes on its surface.
- Experts warn that the growing number of satellites and missions is increasing space-debris risks, after a collision in 2009 produced about 2,300 pieces of debris.
- Experts intend to study the ejected material and lunar surface, while NASA and SpaceX are discussing safeguards for future missions, including the Artemis programme scheduled to send humans back by the end of this decade.

- The recent Starship launch was aborted just before liftoff after four of the 33 booster engines failed to ignite.
- SpaceX intends to replace two Raptor engines on the booster to ensure a successful upcoming flight.
- The 13th test flight will carry 20 Starlink satellites that will burn up on a suborbital trajectory.
- Despite the setback and a 6% stock decline, Starship remains a critical element of SpaceX’s multi-decade infrastructure plans.
Some of the engines didn't start.— Elon Musk wrote on X that the abort was triggered because 'some of the engines didn't start.'
