Elon Musk confirmed that SpaceXAI will rebrand to SpaceXSI, joining President Trump's push to replace the term artificial intelligence with Super Intelligence. The change follows a White House Accord on Super Intelligence signed after a meeting with tech leaders from SpaceX, Tesla, Meta, Google and Nvidia. Trump's executive order directs federal agencies to adopt SI terminology, though it does not require private companies to follow suit.
Musk signaled that the Grok chatbot's developer will adopt the SI branding as well. He posted on X that there should be no more AI and that SI is a better term. Analysts note the new label still needs wider industry support beyond the companies that backed the White House accord.
Wall Street's heavy focus on AI stocks continues to push indexes toward record highs, with the Nasdaq 100 gaining 22% this year. Microsoft, Nvidia and Apple remain key drivers of the rally. However, long-term Treasury yields have climbed to near 24-year highs, with the 10-year bond topping 5.3%. Bank of America's chief investment strategist compared the concentration of AI stocks to the market before the dot-com crash in 2000.
Major tech companies including Alphabet, Amazon and Meta are spending heavily on AI, resulting in negative free cash flow for several of them. These firms are raising more money through debt, which could increase their leverage over the next two years. UBS research finds that AI investment still produces strong multiplier effects, with every 1 percentage point of AI investment growth generating about 1.46 points of additional investment the following quarter.
On the regulatory front, State Sen. Wiener and Supervisor Chan debated AI oversight in a San Francisco congressional race. Wiener called for a federal AI regulator, a kill switch for AI systems and international safety agreements. He also opposes taxpayer subsidies for data centers. Chan argued against waiting for disasters before regulating and questioned who benefits from rapid data center expansion. Voters will decide the race on November 3.
The Department of War and California state regulators activated Project Meridian on September 30, 2026, to defend critical infrastructure from dangerous AI behavior. The initiative is managed by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and includes adviser Elon Musk.
