In its IPO filing, SpaceX stated that orbital AI computing and its industrialization efforts on the Moon and Mars are still in their early stages, involving significant technological complexities that may prevent commercialization. Elon Musk has previously stated that space-based AI computing is the obvious choice, believing that orbit could become the lowest-cost location for AI within two to three years. The filing warns that orbital AI data centers operate in the harsh and unpredictable space environment, and systems are prone to failure. Furthermore, delays in Starship development may also limit the company's growth strategy. SpaceX currently targets a valuation of approximately $1.75 trillion and plans to raise $75 billion in the coming months.

A prediction event on Polymarket is drawing attention as a user with an 81% success rate, known as @Pajamapants, has invested $40,000 betting that U.S. President Donald Trump will not lift the blockade of the Hormuz Strait by April 30. According to Odaily, the average purchase price for this prediction was 68.5¢. The rules stipulate that if Trump, the U.S. government, or military officially announces the end of the blockade by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the specified date, the market will resolve to 'Yes.' Otherwise, it will resolve to 'No.' The announcement must clearly state that the U.S. has lifted or will lift the blockade by the specified date, or use equivalent language indicating the blockade has ceased or will cease. Statements merely describing actions inconsistent with a blockade, such as 'Iran resumes shipping through the Hormuz Strait,' without explicitly stating the blockade's end, are insufficient. Informal announcements, statements from anonymous sources, or leaks do not qualify. A written public statement by Trump, such as a post on his Truth Social account, would qualify, as would a video posted on his social media. The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements from the U.S. government and/or its representatives, though credible consensus reporting may also be used. The market will be determined solely based on whether a qualifying announcement is made within the specified timeframe. The effectiveness of the blockade or the resumption of maritime traffic will not be considered without a qualifying announcement.
