Welcome to the February first, twenty twenty six edition of Elon Musk. Today we analyze major shifts across the technology landscape impacting SpaceX, Tesla, and the broader AI sector. Key developments include Tesla Oracle reporting the discontinuation of the Model S and Model X production later this year, signaling a major product pivot for the company. This move frees up resources as the electric vehicle market evolves. In space news, The Verge detailed SpaceX's massive ambition to launch one million solar-powered data centers into orbit, a project likely intertwined with the Starlink network expansion. This orbital push is happening while the autonomous driving sector heats up; Waymo finalized a significant sixteen billion dollar funding round at a one hundred ten billion dollar valuation, according to Bloomberg and the Financial Times, putting pressure on Tesla's self driving initiatives. We also touched upon the security implications of advanced AI, referencing the conviction of an ex-Google engineer for stealing trade secrets, highlighting the risks associated with powerful technology like that feeding into Neuralink and Optimus development. MarketBeat noted continued investor interest in renewable energy stocks, supporting the long-term sustainability goals of the broader Elon Musk empire. We also briefly discussed cultural commentary regarding technology use, referencing Jessie James Decker's views on raising kids without social media. The news today underscores a recurring theme: rapid transformation across mobility, space infrastructure, and computing, demanding constant vigilance for anyone tracking these critical technology trends. We covered the end of the Model S era and the intense competition in the autonomous space.
