SpaceX set its IPO price at $135 per share, selling 555.6 million shares to raise a record $75 billion at a $1.75 trillion valuation. It debuts on Nasdaq under ticker SPCX on June 12.

The company fixed its price before the roadshow even begins, a highly unusual move that skips the usual demand-testing range. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and three other banks lead the deal.

At $75 billion, the raise more than triples Alibaba's record and lifts SpaceX above Musk's own Tesla. Fixing the price before the roadshow basically dares investors to blink first.

Microsoft made a full-stack agentic push at Build 2026, releasing seven in-house MAI models, its first always-on agent Scout, the Majorana 2 quantum chip, and Project Solara, a platform for agent-first devices.

Scout runs in Teams on the OpenClaw platform and takes proactive actions like scheduling meetings. Majorana 2 shows a 1,000x reliability gain, pulling a usable quantum machine toward 2029, and Microsoft also partnered with Nvidia on AI PCs.

Microsoft built its own models, its own agent, and even its own quantum chip. For a company that spent years riding OpenAI's coattails, that is a loud way to announce the breakup.

OpenAI launched six job-specific Codex plug-ins on Tuesday, targeting data analytics, sales, product design, creative production, equity investing, and investment banking, plus new Sites and Annotations features for enterprise users.

Codex now has 5 million weekly active users, up 6x since February's desktop launch. Knowledge workers make up about 20% of them and grow more than 3x faster than developers.

Anthropic rolled out its enterprise agents back in February. For a company famous for consumer chatbots, OpenAI keeps showing up late to the office party it now badly wants to join.

Google launched fake call detection on Tuesday, rolling out globally in Phone by Google to Android 12+ devices this month, starting with Pixel. The feature is on by default and runs automatically.

It works like a digital handshake. When a contact calls, their phone sends a silent confirmation signal to verify the call is real. If a scammer spoofs them, that signal goes missing and your device flags it.

Google built the feature on top of RCS so other apps can adopt it too. Handy, since the scam it fights, faking your mom's voice to wire cash, sounds like a rejected Black Mirror pitch.

Amazon faces a class action lawsuit filed Monday in Seattle by Virginia resident Charles Sigwalt, who claims Ring's Familiar Faces feature stores images of passersby without their consent, capturing facial data from people who never opted in.

Ring launched Familiar Faces in December despite pushback from the EFF and Senator Ed Markey. The feature uses AI to recognize regular visitors, swapping generic alerts for specific ones like "Dad is at the door."

Amazon says it encrypts face data and deletes unidentified faces after 30 days. That promise lands a little softer given the $5.8 million the company paid the FTC in 2023 over employees snooping on customer videos.
