Gate News message, April 23 — Tesla confirmed a $2 billion equity investment in SpaceX on April 22, as disclosed in its Q1 2026 earnings filing. The company’s stock held near $387 at the time of writing, with gains of 6% over the past 7 days and 5.31% over the past 30 days.
The $2 billion funding originated from Tesla’s previous stake in xAI, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup. After xAI merged with SpaceX earlier this year, Tesla converted that position into direct equity in the aerospace company. The investment gives Tesla a stake of less than 1% in SpaceX and aligns the company more closely with Musk’s broader ecosystem, where AI, robotics, and space infrastructure increasingly overlap.
SpaceX has taken steps toward a potential public listing, with reports pointing to a mid-2026 IPO at a valuation between $1.75 trillion and $2 trillion. Elon Musk personally reinforced control by purchasing $1.4 billion in SpaceX shares from employees. The IPO will include the integration of xAI, which connects artificial intelligence development with satellite networks and orbital data infrastructure.
Tesla’s Q1 2026 earnings, released on April 22, showed earnings per share of $0.41 against estimates of $0.36, while revenue reached $22.39 billion. The company produced over 408,000 vehicles but delivered just above 358,000, leaving an inventory gap of more than 50,000 units. Tesla generated $1.44 billion in free cash flow, though management warned the figure could turn negative later in the year.
Capital expenditure plans for 2026 exceed $25 billion, with significant funding directed to Terafab, a joint initiative with SpaceX aimed at producing AI chips for humanoid robots, autonomous vehicles, and space-based data infrastructure.

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.
