Elon Musk postpones first TV interview since SpaceX IPO

techJul 10, 2026381,788

Elon Musk postponed a live CNBC interview with Julia Boorstin just before it was set to begin at noon ET, CNBC said. Musk had been expected to discuss Tesla, SpaceX’s historic initial public offering and the launch of SpaceXAI’s new Grok 4.5 model. SpaceX began trading on June 12, debuting at $150 per share after a fixed offering price of $135, and the IPO raised $85.7 billion after underwriters exercised the overallotment. CNBC said it had been told only moments before the interview that Musk "has to postpone" and that the network hopes he will give a new time. The article notes recent AI activity across the sector, including OpenAI’s rollout of GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra and Luna and Meta’s Muse Spark 1.1, and it records Tesla’s second-quarter deliveries of 480,126 vehicles and production of 451,758 units. The piece also recounts Musk’s recent corporate moves: he merged his xAI business with SpaceX earlier this year and previously lost a 2024 lawsuit against OpenAI’s leaders.

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).
