episode SpaceX Buying Cursor: Is $60 Billion Actually Cheap? artwork

SpaceX Buying Cursor: Is $60 Billion Actually Cheap?

SpaceX's proposed $60 billion acquisition of AI coding tool Cursor isn't a done deal — it's a stock-based option contingent on SpaceX's IPO actually closing, meaning neither the buyer nor the price truly exists yet. Cursor's last private valuation was just $9 billion, and the entire structure may have been routed through SpaceX specifically to avoid AI antitrust scrutiny that an xAI acquisition would have triggered. After listening, you'll understand the strategic logic connecting Cursor to xAI's Memphis supercluster, why Anthropic may be the real loser in this deal, and what it would take for $60 billion to actually be a bargain. ───────────────────────────── LINKS & RESOURCES ▶ Amazon — AI & Finance Books: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ai+finance+investing&tag=plaintext05-20 Books on AI, investing, and the future of money ▶ Amazon — Best Budget Microphones: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=budget+podcast+microphone&tag=plaintext05-20 Gear to level up your audio setup (Some links above are affiliate links.

episode Amazon Anthropic Deal: $100B Infrastructure Bet Explained artwork

Amazon Anthropic Deal: $100B Infrastructure Bet Explained

The Amazon and Anthropic deal goes far beyond a $25 billion equity investment — it's a $100 billion infrastructure commitment that makes Anthropic the anchor tenant of AWS's entire AI build-out. Amazon's real play may be using Anthropic to legitimise its struggling Trainium chips and challenge Nvidia's 90% market share in AI training hardware. After listening, you'll understand the structural power dynamics reshaping the cloud wars and what this means for every AI company that isn't OpenAI or Anthropic. ───────────────────────────── LINKS & RESOURCES ▶ Amazon — AI & Finance Books: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ai+finance+investing&tag=plaintext05-20 Books on AI, investing, and the future of money ▶ Amazon — Best Budget Microphones: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=budget+podcast+microphone&tag=plaintext05-20 Gear to level up your audio setup (Some links above are affiliate links.

episode Google's Custom Inference Chip: Is Nvidia's Growth Story Over? artwork

Google's Custom Inference Chip: Is Nvidia's Growth Story Over?

Google is in active talks with Marvell to co-develop a custom inference chip — a direct challenge to the revenue stream Nvidia has been selling Wall Street as its next growth engine. Custom inference silicon could be 30–40% more efficient than Nvidia GPUs at hyperscaler scale, translating to billions of dollars in annual savings for a single company. After this episode, you'll understand why the AI compute market is splitting into two distinct worlds, what that means for Nvidia's valuation, and which semiconductor players stand to win or lose as inference workloads go custom. ───────────────────────────── LINKS & RESOURCES ▶ Amazon — AI & Finance Books: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ai+finance+investing&tag=plaintext05-20 Books on AI, investing, and the future of money ▶ Amazon — Best Budget Microphones: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=budget+podcast+microphone&tag=plaintext05-20 Gear to level up your audio setup (Some links above are affiliate links.

Meta Layoffs 2025: 7,000 Jobs Cut to Fund AI Dominance

Meta's 2025 layoffs are eliminating roughly 7,000 jobs — not to cut costs, but to redirect over $2 billion in annual payroll directly into AI infrastructure and GPU clusters. The 'lowest performers' label isn't just HR language: it's a legal and recruiting strategy designed to give Meta cover while signalling ruthless meritocracy to top talent elsewhere. After listening, you'll understand why Wall Street rewards each job cut, how Meta's spending structure differs from Google's, and what this workforce-for-compute trade-off could mean for every tech worker over the next decade. ───────────────────────────── LINKS & RESOURCES ▶ Amazon — AI & Finance Books: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ai+finance+investing&tag=plaintext05-20 Books on AI, investing, and the future of money ▶ Amazon — Best Budget Microphones: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=budget+podcast+microphone&tag=plaintext05-20 Gear to level up your audio setup (Some links above are affiliate links.

Cursor's $50B Valuation: Worth It or Biggest AI Bubble Yet?

Cursor, the AI coding tool built on a fork of free VS Code, just hit a $50 billion valuation — a 20x jump in under a year on only $300 million in annual revenue. That eye-watering 160x revenue multiple dwarfs even the frothiest Snowflake comps, raising serious questions about whether this is a platform bet or a bubble in disguise. After listening, you'll understand exactly why investors are pricing Cursor like a platform winner, who stands to lose the most, and what the red flags are that even the bulls can't ignore. ───────────────────────────── LINKS & RESOURCES ▶ Amazon — AI & Finance Books: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ai+finance+investing&tag=plaintext05-20 Books on AI, investing, and the future of money ▶ Amazon — Best Budget Microphones: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=budget+podcast+microphone&tag=plaintext05-20 Gear to level up your audio setup (Some links above are affiliate links.
