Gate News message, April 24 — SpaceX is implementing Texas anti-takeover protections to defend against hostile bidders and activist investors before a planned IPO that could value the company at approximately $1.75 trillion this summer, according to a regulatory filing released Thursday.
The company cited Texas law, along with its charter and bylaws, as measures that could make acquisitions through tender offers, proxy contests, or removal of incumbent officers and directors more difficult. SpaceX stated these protections are “expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids” and would require potential acquirers to “first negotiate with us.”
The move comes as activist investor campaigns surge across U.S. markets. Barclays data showed that activists launched 41 campaigns at U.S. companies during the first quarter of 2026, up 3% from the prior year, with technology and industrials sectors being the primary targets.
The same prospectus flagged risks related to xAI, including allegations that AI products were used to create non-consensual explicit imagery depicting children in sexualized contexts. SpaceX disclosed that global regulatory agencies are actively investigating the use of AI in advertising, consumer protection, and harmful content distribution, with potential consequences including loss of market access.
Meanwhile, space industry leaders outlined ambitious plans during CNBC’s CONVERGE LIVE in Singapore. Voyager Technologies CEO Dylan Taylor predicted humans will reach the moon by the end of the 2020s, with a lunar base potentially operational by 2032–2033. Elon Musk previously stated SpaceX aims to build a self-growing city on the Moon, potentially within 10 years.

Big short seller Burry is betting that semiconductors will fall by 30%, then switching to buy beaten-down software stocks.
Barry believes the rally in semiconductor stocks has been driven more by technical factors and sentiment, with a lack of long-term fundamental support; therefore, he is bearish on SOXX. He bought a SOXX put option with a strike price of $330 and an expiration date of January 2027. On the same day, he also bought NVIDIA put options with the same expiration date, expecting SOXX to fall below $330 (about 28%). He also added to undervalued software and payments stocks, such as Microsoft, Adobe, and PayPal, as a hedging and portfolio rebalancing strategy.

PTT Hot Topic: Will Taiwan stocks’ rise above 40,000 points mirror Japan’s bubble crisis?
This article focuses on PTT discussions: if Taiwan stocks surge to 40,000 points, will it repeat the Nikkei bubble? The debate centers on the price-to-earnings ratio, leverage risks, AI/semiconductor earnings, and tariff risks. The P/E camp believes the indicator is still low, and the bubble is virtually nonexistent; the risk camp emphasizes risks such as high financing, foreign investors as the main force, and the risk of capital moving abroad. The conclusion is that the P/E debate is more convincing, and the market continues to rise while remaining skeptical.

TSMC’s stock price breaks through the 2300 threshold, edging toward 2330! Analyzing the actual impact of ETF buy-side demand under the “TSMC provisions”
TSMC’s terms will loosen the single-stock cap to 25% starting 4/24, enabling ETFs and active ETFs to add to TSMC more directly. Theoretical incremental growth is under 0.3% of market cap, but in terms of trading volume it could be amplified. Funds may flow to TSMC, putting pressure on non-TSMC AI supply-chain stocks. If new capital is insufficient, short-term selling pressure may appear; if the 12-month CAGR exceeds 20%, the incremental amount can be absorbed by new capital.
