4 for 4, and this time the tape agrees. $AMD beat on revenue ($13.38B), EPS ($2.09), data center ($8.55B) and the Q4 guide (~$17B). Last quarter a beat got you −7%. Tonight: +6.9% after hours, with ±9% priced in. He could… go… all… the… way.

Midterm turnout runs 18.2 points below presidential years. Even 2018, the best midterm since 1914, left half at home. Polls close tonight. Go vote.

The market already knows how midterms end. Your cart knows how you voted: $TGT leans blue by 28.5, Chick-fil-A red by 21.0, KFC dead even. #ElectionDay

Palantir just did $2.31B, up 96%, and U.S. commercial passed the government for the first time. The stock still sits at ~50x its own full-year guide. Beat the Street. Now beat the multiple. $PLTR $AAPL

No panic, no floor. SOX −28.6%, VIX 20, Fear & Greed 26. Real bottoms need fear first. Here's the tripwire list. $SMH $QQQ
SOX down 27%. Fear & Greed at 26. Hedge funds bailing on tech at the fastest pace in a decade. 27.4% of $IREN's float is short, and it reports Thursday. $AMD is up tomorrow. $NVDA is 14.5% off the high. The shorts are all in. Squeeze incoming
142
$LITE now down 17% (14% discount to acquisition price) and $MRVL down 10.5%. Brutal
BOOM goes the laser! Marvell drops $115B to own the light: 4.5 $MRVL shares for every $LITE. Lumentum sales up 137% in a year, yet both stocks open in the red. Last big laser shop without a chip-designer parent: $COHR. Genius or overpay?

ELONOMICS No.38 🏆 The biggest AI brain on Earth is in Memphis. Colossus 2: 1.11M H100-equivalents, per Epoch AI. OpenAI's Stargate Abilene 1.02M. Amazon-Anthropic 818k. Microsoft 769k. Colossus 1 went live at 100k in Sep 2024. 11x in 21 months! Next stop: 1.82M by Q1 '27. $SPCX

Today's Palm Beach Learjet crash killed all 9 on board. The bigger picture: US private flying hit a 20-year low in 2024, 0.72 fatal accidents per 100k flight hours. Still, from 2015 to 2024: 2,102 fatal general aviation crashes vs 4 for US airlines

Boo-yah! #Halloween is headed for a record $13.5B. Costumes $4.4B, decor $4.3B, candy $4.1B. 4.6M kids are going as Spider-Man, and pets get $920M in costumes, pumpkin on top. That's 4x the 2005 haul. $HSY

They don't need SpaceX to fail. They need it to grow slower than Google. Even at Google speed, 20% a year, $SPCX still hits $30T. Just five years late. 🐢 So which is it: absurd, or the floor? 👇
$30 TRILLION SpaceX? 🚀 Wall Street is laughing. Wall Street laughed last time too. 😏 Ron Baron called it: $20T, $30T, $50T.
Then Elon stepped to the line: over $100T in under 10 years. "Unless there's a major world war." Casual. Absurd? Let's go to the tape. 📼 From $1.95T today, $30T in 10 years takes 31% a year.
Not a miracle. Just a good decade. $NVDA: 63% a year 🔥
$TSLA: 49%
SpaceX itself: 56% since 2015 The "impossible" number is running SLOWER than all three.
That's not a moonshot. That's the slow lane. 🐢 Rewind to 2016. Fortune: a $1T Apple is "far from reach."
Apple today: $5T.
Far from reach? It reached. Then it reached four more times. 🍎 Jim Chanos on Tesla: "We think the equity is worthless."
Worthless is now worth $1.6T. 💀 "But nobody grows like that from $2T!"
Says who? The trillion-dollar club didn't exist until 2018.
Nvidia walked in at $1T in 2023. It's 5x since. In three years. The bear case is real ⚠️ SpaceX is burning cash on rockets and AI chips, and S&P sees no positive cash flow until 2029. Fine. Slow it down to Google speed, 20% a year.
It STILL gets to $30T. Just in 15 years instead of 10. The doubters don't need SpaceX to fail.
They need it to grow slower than Google. 🎤 So who's got this one wrong:
the people calling $30T absurd, or the people calling it the floor? 👇 $SPCX
51
Intel -29% today. ServiceNow -27% yesterday. Nasdaq-100 -3%. The bubble clock says... July 1999. Nasdaq-100 is +144% since ChatGPT (thru Thursday) vs +313% on the same day after Netscape's IPO. 6 signals scream 2000, 6 say 1998. $QQQ $INTC: shakeout or melt-up?

Big Tech's grade this week had little to do with cloud growth. Microsoft kept $18.6B of free cash flow and closed flat. Alphabet and Amazon went cash-negative and got sold. $MSFT $GOOGL What wins next quarter: a capex cut, or proof the spending pays?
81
AWS grew 39%, its fastest in about five years, and the stock still fell. The number that did it: $77.3B of capex in a single quarter, up from $44.2B in Q1. Trailing free cash flow is now -$42.4B. $AMZN
95
China's AI crash is 81 trading days old. STAR50 is down 44% from its June 30 peak, twice as deep as the Nasdaq was at the same point in 2000. And it still trades at ~100x earnings. Capitulation buy, or only the 2000 midpoint? $KSTR $KWEB

Instacart's price tag, in four snapshots: Oct 2020: $17.7B
Mar 2021: $39B ($125 a share)
Sep 2023 IPO: $9.9B ($30)
Today, DoorDash: ~$17B ($65) A pandemic boom, a crash, and it's back where it started. The 2021 round led by Sequoia and a16z priced it at $125. $CART $DASH
