Musk says SpaceX and Tesla are exploring blockbuster merger deal

Elon Musk said SpaceX and Tesla Inc have formed special committees to explore a potential merger, a preliminary step towards what would rank as the largest corporate tie-up of all time. “I do think there’s a lot of merit to combining the companies,” Musk, the chief executive officer of both companies, said on Tuesday on SpaceX’s earnings webcast. “There’s a lot to be gained from cooperating on developing superintelligence software.” Musk said he is not taking part in the committee discussions...

Musk promete regalar una acción de SpaceX a cada niño de EEUU

Elon Musk se ha comprometido a regalar una acción de SpaceX a cada niño de Estados Unidos. El director ejecutivo de la compañía anunció la iniciativa en X, la red social de su propiedad, pocas horas después de que Anthropic PBC, su competidora en el sector de la inteligencia artificial (IA), comunicara que reservará una parte de sus acciones para financiar iniciativas de beneficio público.

"El año que viene, daré una de mis acciones de SpaceX a cada niño de Estados Unidos. Esto será solo el primero de muchos regalos", escribió Musk en una publicación. Por el momento, no está claro cómo se llevaría a cabo la distribución de las acciones. Musk tampoco ofreció detalles sobre el mecanismo de la donación ni explicó cómo se gestionarían las participaciones destinadas a los menores. Según estimaciones de la Oficina del Censo de Estados Unidos, el país cuenta con aproximadamente 72 millones de niños. Si cada uno recibiera una acción al precio actual de 146 dólares, el valor total de la iniciativa rondaría los 10.500 millones de dólares.

Anthropic anuncia un fondo para el beneficio público

La propuesta de Musk llegó después de que Anthropic anunciara sus planes de destinar el 5% de sus acciones a un fondo dedicado a financiar iniciativas que contribuyan al "bien público". La compañía, desarrolladora del asistente de inteligencia artificial Claude, se prepara para una salida a bolsa que podría convertirse en una de las más importantes de la historia del sector tecnológico. Anthropic ha advertido en numerosas ocasiones sobre los riesgos que la IA podría representar para la sociedad, en un contexto en el que los reguladores de todo el mundo intensifican sus llamamientos para establecer normas que controlen esta tecnología.

Entre las prioridades del nuevo fondo se encuentra abordar el impacto de la inteligencia artificial en el mercado laboral, una de las principales preocupaciones relacionadas con la expansión de estas herramientas. Tras el anuncio de Anthropic, publicado el domingo, Musk respondió a la cuenta de la compañía en la antigua Twitter y recomendó que las acciones se entregaran "directamente al público". La empresa también explicó que el porcentaje destinado al fondo podría aumentar. Según su propuesta, el consejo de administración tendría la facultad de añadir un 2 % adicional por cada incremento del 50% en el valor de la compañía por encima de una referencia inicial establecida.

El precedente de las cuentas de inversión para menores

La iniciativa de Musk coincide con el programa Trump Accounts, impulsado por la Administración del presidente estadounidense Donald Trump. El plan contempla una aportación de 1.000 dólares para los niños estadounidenses nacidos entre 2025 y 2028. Gwynne Shotwell, presidenta de SpaceX, afirmó a principios de este año que ella y su marido habían donado acciones de la compañía espacial para incorporarlas a las cuentas de inversión de más de dos millones de niños en Estados Unidos. Este antecedente muestra que ya existen iniciativas destinadas a proporcionar activos financieros a los menores, aunque todavía no se conocen los detalles que permitirían ejecutar una distribución de acciones de SpaceX a una escala tan amplia como la planteada por Musk.

SpaceX concentra la mayor parte de la fortuna de Musk

Según el índice de multimillonarios de Bloomberg, Elon Musk es, con diferencia, la persona más rica del mundo, con un patrimonio neto superior a los 900.000 millones de dólares. Las participaciones que posee en SpaceX representan la mayor parte de esa fortuna, con un valor aproximado de 700.000 millones de dólares. El resto procede principalmente de sus intereses en Tesla Inc., Boring Company y Neuralink. Sin embargo, el historial del empresario incluye numerosas propuestas que finalmente no se materializaron, así como anuncios cuyos objetivos posteriormente matizó o presentó como bromas. Por ahora, no se sabe si el compromiso de distribuir acciones de SpaceX entre los menores estadounidenses llegará a concretarse en los términos anunciados.

Una posible operación pendiente de aclaración

El anuncio de Anthropic se produce mientras la compañía avanza hacia una esperada oferta pública inicial de acciones (OPI), que podría situar su valoración entre 1,5 y 2 billones de dólares. En este contexto, tanto la propuesta de Anthropic de destinar parte de su capital a fines sociales como la promesa de Musk de repartir acciones entre los niños estadounidenses sitúan en primer plano el debate sobre la responsabilidad pública de las grandes empresas tecnológicas.

No obstante, ambas iniciativas presentan diferencias importantes: mientras Anthropic ha comunicado un plan para constituir un fondo de beneficio público, Musk todavía no ha detallado cómo financiaría, organizaría o ejecutaría la distribución anunciada. Por tanto, la promesa de entregar una acción de SpaceX a cada niño estadounidense sigue pendiente de aclaraciones que permitan determinar su viabilidad y sus condiciones reales.

Why Copper Miners Are Turning to Microbes | Bloomberg Primer

💾

The global copper supply is on a collision course with growing electricity demand. Copper is crucial to power grids, renewable energy equipment and electric vehicles. Over the past few decades, mining companies have found it increasingly challenging to extract more of the metal and still turn a profit. Some have now turned to biomining, the process of using microbes to extract metals. Can this technique meet the rising demand of an electrifying world?

Startups Are Extracting More Copper Using Microbes: https://bloom.bg/4eIzmI3

As AI data centers, EVs and power grids drive a global copper shortage, young companies and mining giants are employing innovative solutions to extract more of the metal.
