First Look: Elon’s “Starphone” (Ad)

Rumors are swirling that Elon Musk is developing a new mobile device that could rival the iPhone. It's said to be thinner, longer-lasting on battery, and cheaper to produce, with the ability to work worldwide without relying on cell towers. Former Bloomberg reporter and SAC Capital trader Josh Baylin says the evidence is mounting. He notes the FCC recently gave Musk a green light connected to his mobile plans, adding fuel to speculation. Baylin previously called the smartphone boom in 2004 and predicted Apple would sell a billion phones when others expected a fraction of that.tc pixel

How Elon’s Empire Ends (and how to profit) (Ad)

Marc Chaikin, the 60 year Wall Street veteran whose Chaikin Money Flow indicator sits on every Bloomberg terminal, says a new micro cluster AI technology could render today's data centers, including Elon Musk's Colossus in Tennessee, obsolete for major breakthroughs. These next generation centers use 99 percent less space, electricity and water, yet Chaikin's research shows they could be more than a trillion times more powerful than the top data center on earth today, potentially cutting AI breakthrough timelines from five years to five days.tc pixel
