    Massive upside potential before IPO season takes off 🚀 Also *BPTRX* 33% exposure to SpaceX. And *NASA* ETF — about 10% SpaceX exposure plus holdings in leading space innovators like RKLB, ASTS, PL, and LUNR. ✅ Position before the crowd catches on.

    Hey Jay, how much vc/angel spacex are you currently exposed to? Huh? 18B, of course you’d plug that misleadingly… MUSK IS BROKE CORPORAL RITTER

    Lol spaceX is a 25 year old company and its still not profitable. There is zero market for 100 ton capacity rockets

      Exactly. One that’s way over budget and way past the initial delivery date of 2023. Still hasn’t made it to orbit, still hasn’t delivered on the return of the shuttle safely and a designated landing area. Launches more and more Starlinks will reach a limitation on quantity and frequency. A fast majority of Starships development, operating, and maintenance costs will directly go to Starlink P&L. It will out lots of pressure on margins. And they’re still not properly accounting for depreciation costs of the Starlink as each have a useful life of 5 years before they start burning in the atmosphere as they fall back.

      Convenient time to go public as xAI is collapsing and the first large batches of Starlinks will start being needed to be replaced in the next few months to a year. And of course, more competition coming online such as Amazon but that may not be threat for a few more years. It just hurts the buzz and story premium

    all these great words from these folks, I bet you they’re all not most private investors that are gonna drop that stock as soon as they can

    $37 billion in new debt over the past 24 months. $15 billion in projected revenue comes from Anthropic renting 90% of the space from Elon’s AI data center he already can’t use. Anthropic is only required to give a 90 day notice when they want to exit the contract. Losing $5-6 billion a quarter.

    Seems more like a dumpster fire Elon is trying to keep a float by scamming 401Ks into forced investment.

    SpaceX loses more money than Nvidia profits 🤷‍♂️ . Old Elon still selling dreams to fools. Pyramid scheme of the 2020-2030. Let’s Go! 😂

Hamilton Lane: AI’s Biggest Returns Have Been Private

Hamilton Lane Executive Co-Chairman Erik Hirsch says much of the wealth created by the AI boom has so far accrued in the private markets, as companies stay private longer and tap increasingly deep pools of capital.

Hamilton Lane Executive Co-Chairman Erik Hirsch says much of the wealth created by the AI boom has so far accrued in the private markets, as companies stay private longer and tap increasingly deep pools of capital. With exposure to OpenAI and Anthropic through its venture and growth relationships, Hirsch discusses how investors can access private AI companies through funds, secondaries and co-investments – and why even as some of AI’s biggest names head toward IPOs, going public is no longer the default path for most technology companies. He joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.”

Anthropic plans to dedicate 5% of its shares to a public benefit fund, offering its own approach to sharing the potential wealth created by AI as concerns grow about AI-driven labor disruption. Bloomberg’s Mike Shepard discusses how the plan differs from proposals for a government-run fund – and from Elon Musk’s pledge to give every child in America a share of SpaceX – as technology leaders confront a broader question: who should benefit financially from the AI boom? He joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.”
