Eric Schmidt, the former Google chief executive and Democrat mega-donor, holds a one percent stake in Anthropic that traces back to an early investment of millions in the AI startup. This stake could add up to $10 billion to Schmidt's net worth when the company notable for its AI doomer messages goes public.

Un órdago de Elon Musk que evaporó más de 16.000 millones de euros en bolsa ha provocado que las grande telecos europeas aceleren y se conjuren para hacer frente a Starlink. Así, Vodafone, Orange, Telefónica y Deutsche Telekom anunciaron este lunes el estudio de una nueva alianza para explorar una alternativa a la compañía de comunicación Starlink en la conexión de móviles vía satélite.
Con más de 500.000 usuarios en España, Starlink ha crecido con fuerza impulsado especialmente en las zonas rurales con baja conectividad, según los datos de la Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (CNMC). Y para seguir creciendo, la compañía del todopoderoso Elon Musk acordó la compra a la firma de capital privado Grain Management de una cartera estadounidense de espectro de baja frecuencia, lo que pondría tierra de por medio entre el negocio de red satelital de Starlink con el resto de las telecos tradicionales de Estados Unidos y Europa.
Este nuevo espectro que le costará a Musk unos 8.000 millones de dólares según adelanto The Wall Street Journal permitiría a la señal atravesar obstáculos. Con esto, las frecuencias permitirían a los servicios de Starlink mejorar su cobertura y mejorar la recepción en interiores para así seguir ganando terreno al negocio de la telefonía móvil tradicional de antenas.
Tras el anuncio, accionistas de las grande telecos europeas decidieron reducir sus inversiones en estas empresas. En el caso de Telefónica, el antiguo monopolio español perdió más de 1.160 millones de euros en la primera jornada tras la publicación de la información, el pasado 9 de octubre, según los datos bursátiles analizados por El Independiente.
Por parte de Orange, la compañía francesa perdió cerca de 1.400 millones de euros. En Reino Unido, se evaporaron más de 2.560 millones de euros en Vodafone. Pero el gran golpe bursátil se sintió en Deutsche Telekom (DT), que alcanzó una pérdida de 10.900 millones de euros en una jornada. Así, las cuatro grandes telecos europeas fueron golpeadas con más de 16.000 millones de euros en un solo día.
Pero las conversaciones entre las cuatro telecos -que habían empezado antes de la adquisición de Starlink- terminaron dando sus frutos solos 10 días después del día negro en bolsa. La nueva alianza europea, concebida para competir con el magnate estadounidense, el hombre más rico del mundo, se ha materializado en una carta de intenciones que abre la puerta a una candidatura conjunta por las futuras frecuencias destinadas a los Servicios Móviles por Satélite (MSS, por sus siglas en inglés) en Europa.
La iniciativa, que se encuentra todavía en una fase preliminar, contempla ofrecer a todos los operadores móviles un acceso abierto a esta infraestructura, para que puedan prestar servicios satelitales a los clientes con el objetivo de impulsar la competencia europea con el gran rival Starlink.
Reports that SpaceX temporarily restricted its satellite internet service for Ukraine’s armed forces have generated serious concern in Kyiv and among the country’s allies. SpaceX operates the civilian Starlink system and its lesser-known military-grade counterpart, called Starshield. But many news stories leave an important question unanswered: what does a Starshield “slowdown” mean on the battlefield? […]

A proposta surgiu um dia depois de a empresa de inteligência artificial Anthropic ter anunciado, numa publicação nas redes sociais, que iria afetar 5 % das suas ações a um novo fundo de “benefício público”, sujeito à aprovação dos acionistas.
Numa resposta a essa publicação de domingo, Musk escreveu: “Recomendo que se entregue as ações diretamente ao público.” Com cerca de 73 milhões de menores de 18 anos nos Estados Unidos, o valor da promessa de Musk ascenderia a cerca de 10,66 mil milhões de dólares (9,5 mil milhões de euros).
O fundador da SpaceX e CEO da Tesla não adiantou, contudo, como pretende concretizar a promessa, quando decorrerá a distribuição ou quais serão os critérios para determinar quem terá direito a receber uma participação na empresa. Também não esclareceu se a iniciativa estará ligada ao programa de contas de investimento para crianças promovido pela administração Trump.
De acordo com um documento apresentado pela empresa à Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), o empresário detinha 6,42 mil milhões de ações da SpaceX a 30 de junho. O valor inclui participações detidas através de fundos fiduciários em que exerce funções de administrador, ações sujeitas a restrições e ações que poderão ser emitidas mediante o exercício de opções.
