SpaceX jumped for a third straight day on Tuesday, overtaking Amazon.com in value to become the fifth-largest stock in the world.

Shares closed 4.8% higher, pushing its market capitalization to $2.65 trillion, roughly $8 billion higher than Amazon’s. At the stock’s intraday high, the market value of Elon Musk’s rocket and AI company topped Microsoft to briefly become the world’s fourth-largest stock.

At least some of the price action since its debut has been driven by the relatively small number of SpaceX shares available to trade, with only about 4.2% accessible on day one. That can make trading more volatile, with the stock more prone to large swings that can quickly change its market value.

On this episode, Carol and Tim speak with:

• Bailey Lipschultz, Bloomberg News IPO Reporter on SpaceX's continued rally
• Simon White, Bloomberg Macro Strategist On The GPU Is Wall Street’s New Real Estate Trade
• Mike Dinsdale, CEO at Powerlaw
• David Roman, US MedTech and Healthcare IT Research Analyst, Goldman Sachs AND Madison Muller, Bloomberg News US Health Care Reporter

Anthropic PBC has disabled access to its most advanced artificial intelligence models, including Mythos, following an unprecedented order by the Trump administration to keep the technology out of the hands of all foreign nationals.

The US government told Anthropic to suspend access to the Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models by any foreign national “whether inside or outside the United States,” citing national security concerns, the company said in a statement. A US official confirmed the Commerce Department sent the letter. The model developer has since shut off access to both systems to all customers to ensure compliance.Never before has the US government taken such sweeping measures to rein in foreign access to frontier AI models developed by an American company.

Both the Trump and Biden administrations have limited access abroad to other consequential technologies such as semiconductors and supercomputers, and some have debated the merits of blocking access to AI models. But restrictions on the software itself have raised constitutional and commercial concerns.

• Bailey Lipschultz, Bloomberg News IPO Reporter AND David Bauer, JPMorgan Head of ECM Americas on SpaceX IPO
• Geetha Ranganathan, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Media Analyst on Fox to Buy Roku at $22 Billion Value in Streaming Video Push

Luxury buyers and sellers are recalculating in the wake of New York’s pied-à-terre tax. The majority-Democratic state legislature signed off on the remaining final budget legislation late Wednesday night, approving Gov. Kathy Hochul’s slate of policies she contends will improve affordability for New York residents. Hochul, a moderate Democrat, has been criticized by several progressive lawmakers who had split with the governor over her weakening of the state’s 2019 climate law and refusal to raise income and corporate tax rates. But top Manhattan broker Lisa Lippman believes the disruption will be temporary. A 29-year industry insider and the consistent number one broker at Brown Harris Stevens with more than $500 million in transaction volume in 2025 alone

529 plans — tax-advantaged accounts for education expenses — are the go-to tool for college savers. Offered in nearly every state,2 they grow tax-deferred and allow tax-free withdrawals.3 They’re also preferable to custodial brokerage accounts, which count as a student’s assets and can hurt financial-aid eligibility.4 The biggest edge of a 529 is flexibility. A 529’s beneficiary can be changed easily, so parents or grandparents5 can open one before a child is born, then update the beneficiary later on. If one kid skips college, the account can be reassigned to another child — or even to yourself.

Shares of SpaceX climbed in their first day of trading on Friday following a $75 billion IPO that smashed records and instantly turned the crown jewel of Elon Musk’s empire into one of the most valuable public companies in the world. 

The stock climbed as high as $176.52, or 31% above its offering price, less than two hours after the shares started trading shortly before noon in New York. The jump in price turned Musk into the world’s first trillionaire and sent the company’s market capitalization above $2 trillion.

Eighty-five percent of recorded music revenue in the U.S. now flows through streaming, and 100,000 AI-generated tracks are being uploaded to those platforms every single day. Because royalties come from a shared pool divided by total streams, every AI track added dilutes what human artists get paid. Napster was about unauthorized distribution — taking music without paying for it. AI goes further: it uses recorded performances to generate competing content that can displace the originals entirely. AI isn't the only threat to the royalty pool — AM/FM radio has operated the same way for decades, playing music without paying performers a cent. The American Music Fairness Act would close that loophole; session musicians, backup singers, and studio players deserve to be paid, the same way every streaming and satellite service already does. And the U.S. is one of the only countries in the world that doesn't require broadcasters to pay performers, so American artists forfeit overseas royalties that end up flowing to foreign artists instead. AMFA would fix that and keep American earnings in American pockets.

For more on AI generated music, Carol and Tim Stenovec spoke with Michael Huppe, President and CEO of SoundExchange, the organization designated by the U.S. government to administer digital performance royalties.

Incline Village has become a billionaires' playground with prime lakefront property, alpine seclusion, and no state income taxes, attracting ex-Californians. The sales volume for single-family homes in Incline Village and Crystal Bay surged to roughly $232 million in the first quarter, with 22 homes sold for more than $2 million. The influx of wealth is raising eyebrows among locals, who worry that the town is transforming into a luxury ZIP code with room for ultrarich tech titans and few others.
