Ticker Symbol: ELON… Coming Soon

Silicon Valley tech guru Chamath Palihapitiya just floated an entertaining idea: SpaceX will not IPO. Instead, it should merge into Tesla. And once you let that thought enter your head, it’s hard to stop there.

Because if SpaceX can be folded into Tesla… why not everything else? What if Elon Musk eventually consolidates all of his companies into one mega-entity? Maybe even with one single ticker: ELON

It sounds ridiculous. But if anyone could do it… it’s Elon. And he may have just tipped his hand yesterday in Davos, Switzerland. At the event, Elon was asked what his companies share in common from an engineering standpoint. Instead, Elon spoke about how each company was a piece of one larger project.

“The overall goal of my companies is to maximize the future of civilization… basically maximize the probability that civilization has a great future and to expand consciousness beyond Earth," Musk said.

He clearly views these businesses as part of one unified system designed to advance civilization. And when you look at what he’s already pulled off – reusable rockets, mass-market EVs, autonomy, satellite internet, brain implants – it’s hard to bet against him pulling off one more difficult feat.

Intel Stock Sinks As Company’s Q1 Outlook Falls Short of Wall Street Expectations

Intel stock fell as much as 16% Friday after its first quarter financial outlook fell short of Wall Street's expectations and after executives said the company struggled to keep up with demand for chips used in AI data centers.

The chipmaker said it expects first quarter revenue of $12.2 billion, at the midpoint of its range and below the $12.6 billion projected by Wall Street analysts tracked by Bloomberg. Intel guided for earnings per share of $0 for the period, short of the estimated $0.08.

Intel corporate vice president of investor relations John Pitzer told Yahoo Finance the softer-than-anticipated guidance was due to supply shortages.

"Our biggest sort of challenge in the near term is we can't meet all the demand that our customers are giving us," Pitzer said. "I think our supply constraints are most pronounced in Q1. We're working aggressively to get more output out of our fabs."

Meanwhile, Intel reported better-than-expected fourth quarter earnings and revenue and nodded to rising AI demand for its chips, called CPUs (central processing units).

Pitzer said Intel's businesses tied to AI grew "double digits" in the fourth quarter, both sequentially and from the previous year.
