• SpaceX IPO Demands Investor Trust in Musk’s Entangled Empire 09.06.2026 41m

  The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy. Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.SpaceX’s initial public offering is a bet on Elon Musk’s most audacious vision yet: an industrial empire combining hardware, software and artificial intelligence that brings rocket launches, satellites and computing resources into one sprawling conglomerate. A nearly 18-minute video produced as part of its IPO roadshow touts everything from solar-powered orbital data centers to a thriving lunar economy to asteroid mining.If SpaceX hits its targeted valuation of $1.8 trillion, it will immediately become one of the world’s most valuable public companies. Musk, on the cusp of turning 55, will likely be the world’s first trillionaire. And for Tesla Inc., the electric-car maker and energy company that Musk took public in 2010, the question is increasingly about when — not if — SpaceX will absorb Tesla whole.On this episode, Carol Massar and Emily Graffeo speak with: Dana Hull, Bloomberg News Senior Technology Reporter Jeff DiLullo, CEO at Philips North America On Philips 2026 Future Health Index report Sec.

• Apple Investors Give Lukewarm Reaction to New Siri, AI Platform 08.06.2026 39m

  The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy. Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.Apple Inc. investors gave a tepid reception to the next generation of its artificial intelligence platform, which is key to the company’s bid to catch up with Silicon Valley peers in a critical market.The new Apple Intelligence system — underpinned by Google technology — was unveiled during a keynote presentation at the company’s Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday. Software chief Craig Federighi pitched the update, which includes an overhauled Siri digital assistant, as a major improvement over the company’s current software. Siri is “more intelligent, knowledgeable and capable,” Federighi said.Still, many of the new features are similar to capabilities that Apple unveiled earlier — only to delay their release. And the new Siri will be released as a beta test to consumers this fall, signaling that the technology isn’t fully ready for everyday users.Apple said that its new AI features won’t be available in China while the company “works through regulatory requirements.” The rollout of the technology in the EU also will be slowed by regulations in that region.On this episode, Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec speak with: Ed Ludlow, Bloomberg Tech Co-Host Barry DiRaimondo, CEO, SteelWave On his take that current bear market in CRE is largest buying opportunity ‘in American history’ James Walker, CEO at NANO Nuclear Energy ad Will Wade, Bloomberg News Energy Reporter On NANO’s recent acquisition of Secured Transportation Services Kathryn Thompson, Founding Partner & CEO at Thompson Research Group on ‘golden age of US construction’ and re-industrialization of America  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

• Anthropic Files Confidentially for IPO in Race With OpenAI 01.06.2026 40m

  The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy.  Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.  Anthropic PBC has confidentially submitted draft paperwork for a public listing, potentially leapfrogging longtime rival OpenAI in the race toward a Wall Street debut as soon as this fall.  “The number of shares to be offered and the price have not yet been set,” the company said in a blog post Monday. Anthropic, once viewed as an underdog to OpenAI, has vaulted ahead of the ChatGPT maker in recent months on multiple fronts. The Claude developer recently raised $65 billion in a funding round at a $965 billion valuation, including the investment, eclipsing OpenAI’s value for the first time. Anthropic’s advances in coding and cybersecurity capabilities have rattled markets and also enticed new business customers.  With the filing on Monday, Anthropic is poised to potentially beat OpenAI to the public market, setting itself up to attract more attention and capital from a greater pool of investors. OpenAI itself was said to be preparing its own confidential filing for an initial public offering in the coming weeks and was targeting a public debut sometime in the fall, Bloomberg reported in May.  On this episode, guest host Emily Graffeo and Tim Stenovec speak with:  Ed Ludlow, Bloomberg Tech co-host  Charlie Wells, Bloomberg News Reporter and Ed Ludlow for in-depth conversation on SpaceX and its upcoming IPO  Andrew Groves, Chairman of Copper Intelligence  Roderick Wong, founder and Chief Investment Officer and Stephanie Sirota, Chief Business Officer, from RTW Investments on Innovations in Biotech See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
