What stands out

Eric Jackson flatly rejects the idea of merging Tesla and SpaceX despite a fresh "Elon premium" after the Roadster reveal, arguing that both companies trade at premium valuations and should stay separate. He also walked a major AI data center run by Hut 8 in Louisiana and pushed back on the recent selloff in CoreWeave and Nebius as missing the longer payback story. The clip ties a splashy product moment to investor psychology, and it highlights how coverage of AI infrastructure and corporate branding can reshape sentiment quickly.
