SpaceX Early Investor: Merger with Tesla is 'Just a Matter of Time'

On May 28, as SpaceX, under Elon Musk, is poised for an epic IPO, the market is buzzing with speculation about a potential merger with Tesla. This expectation was further reinforced by comments from early SpaceX investor Peter Diamandis, who stated that a merger between SpaceX and Tesla post-IPO is inevitable, with the only question being when it will happen, as Musk seeks to consolidate control over his companies. In fact, shortly after the SpaceX prospectus was released, Dan Ives and his team from the well-known American investment bank Wedbush issued a report predicting that SpaceX and Tesla would complete their merger by 2027. Ives noted that Tesla already holds shares in SpaceX, and the jointly constructed Terafab facility further ties the two companies together.

  • SEC Commissioner Calls for Support of Privacy Technology, Emphasizing Security is Not Opposed

    U.S. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce stated in an article that Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) are crucial for the digital finance era, and regulators should not base the direction of technological development on expanding regulatory frameworks. Peirce pointed out that protecting financial privacy is not in opposition to security; encryption technology can help ordinary users guard against data breaches, theft, and malicious activities. Current regulatory requirements mandate that securities transfer agents record the names and addresses of holders, but the public address mechanism of blockchain can verify asset ownership without exposing personal identity information, thereby reducing the risk of sensitive data breaches for investors.

  • Hong Kong Banks Tighten Account Opening; Gray Intermediaries Promote 'Last Window Period'

    On May 28, according to Yicai, since late May, multiple banks in Hong Kong have required clients to visit branches to sign 'cross-border disclosure statements' and have repeatedly inquired about details such as the source of funds and transaction records. Some banks have even politely refused to activate investment account features. Meanwhile, banks and brokers have begun investigations into existing accounts. Behind the tightening of regulations lies a long-standing gray industry chain. Previous investigations found that some intermediaries assisted mainland residents in bypassing regulations to open accounts with Hong Kong brokers by creating false investment proof and providing 'invitation codes.' Now, in light of policy adjustments, these intermediaries are promoting the 'last window period,' continuing to attract clients under the guise of 'internal channels' and 'account opening secrets,' but the links they provide mostly lead to small and medium-sized brokers in Hong Kong, and the methods have become more covert.

  • Two Departments Collaborate on Systematic Development of Artificial Intelligence Measurement Capabilities

    On May 28, it was reported that the State Administration for Market Regulation and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the "Guidelines for the Construction of Artificial Intelligence Measurement Systems and Capabilities (2026 Edition)", systematically laying out the development of artificial intelligence measurement capabilities. The guidelines focus on six major areas: foundational support, general technologies, core technologies, measurement technical standards, measurement service industries, and intelligent-enabled measurement, aiming to bridge the "last mile" between laboratory innovation and industry application. They address the issue of measurement uncertainty to enhance the trustworthiness of artificial intelligence. To tackle challenges such as algorithmic "black boxes" and poor decision explainability, the guidelines deploy key technological breakthroughs in internal state monitoring and characterization of AI systems, promoting the establishment of reliable, safe, and trustworthy measurement standards for artificial intelligence, ensuring that AI technology performance is "measurable, comparable, and traceable."

  • Fed Official Goolsbee: Expectations of Productivity Gains May Trigger Inflation, Requiring Rate Hikes

    On May 28, Goolsbee, President of the Chicago Federal Reserve, reiterated that if market expectations for significant future productivity gains lead to increased investment and spending, it could trigger inflation, necessitating an increase in interest rates by the Federal Reserve. In a prepared speech at a Bank of Japan meeting in Tokyo on Thursday morning, he stated, "The expectation of income growth, much like the increase in wealth today, can drive up spending and potentially overheat the economy even before the actual productivity boom arrives. In such a case, interest rates may need to rise. The stronger the speculation about future productivity, the more likely it is that rates will need to be adjusted upward to prevent economic overheating." Goolsbee also mentioned that supply shocks could exacerbate the inflation driven by expectations of future productivity growth.
