Elon Musk postponed a live CNBC interview with reporter Julia Boorstin just before it was set to begin at noon ET; CNBC said he "has to postpone" and the network hopes to reschedule. Musk had been expected to discuss Tesla, SpaceX's historic initial public offering and the launch of SpaceXAI's newest model, Grok 4.5, which the company unveiled Wednesday. SpaceX began trading on June 12, debuting at $150 per share after setting a fixed offering price of $135 and raising a record $85.7 billion once underwriters exercised the overallotment. The article notes concurrent AI developments: OpenAI rolled out GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra and Luna, Meta announced Muse Spark 1.1, and U.S. export controls on Anthropic models were recently lifted. CNBC reported Tesla disclosed second-quarter deliveries of 480,126 vehicles and production of 451,758, results that nonetheless pressured Tesla shares. The piece also recounts Musk's recent AI moves: his 2023 founding of xAI and its merger with SpaceX this year, his 2024 lawsuit against OpenAI which he lost, and his recent praise for Anthropic after that company contracted to use SpaceX's Colossus 1 data center.

Talked to the head of a good sized wealth management firm this week. 60ish, very seasoned and well-regarded dude. I joked about the SpaceX IPO price. He doesn't own it but went on a huge baggy rant on how Starlink is going to replace all terrestrial cellular and internet (incl cable and fiber).
