Another block of shares is set for unlock next on August 20, with more shares unlocking in September and October. Adding to the pressure on the supply side, 911 million SpaceX shares have also been released earlier this month.

SpaceX Stock Eyes $150 As Elon Musk’s AI Forecast Fuels Rally

SpaceX Discussions Fuel Market Interest

SpaceX shares rose 9.65% to $146.15 following a four-day advance that brought the total up to more than 40%. The shares rose by 0.48% in the premarket trading, to $146.85. The move came as Elon Musk predicted the future of SpaceX’s AI business. According to Musk, the company’s AI revenue will be higher than the rest of the company’s revenue combined in September. He also sees a significant increase in the fourth quarter.

 

CoinGape analysis shows that $150 is a critical psychological level. There are areas of resistance near $147 for the stock. Support sits around $145. A drop below that would reveal $140. Additional weakness could set up a target for $133.29. When looking at the price chart above $147, $150 is the next important level. Read More.

Breaking: Elon Musk Declares Grok AI Will Beat All Current AI Models By OpenAI, Anthropic

Elon Musk

Elon Musk has claimed that Grok 4.7 will “exceed all current models” from xAI, and noted that this new version might be more useful in real-world engineering. Musk labeled Anthropic as a “great company” and says they will “probably release improved models soon.”

His remarks follow Cognition’s review of the latest Grok AI model. They wrote on X, “Grok 4.6 marks a significant improvement over Grok 4.5, surpassing GPT-5.6 Sol, behind only Opus 5 and Fable 5.”

However, he argued that SpaceX’s training corpus is “so awesome & unique” that he would be “shocked” if any model beats Grok 4.7 at real-world engineering.

 

His comments underline his confidence in Grok’s ability to leverage SpaceX’s engineering knowledge and data for advanced applications. Read More.
