SpaceX files S-1 for $75B raise, targets $1.75T valuation

SpaceX has filed an S-1 document for its planned IPO, aiming to raise up to $75 billion and possibly reach a valuation of $1.75 trillion, with some reports suggesting it could be as high as $2 trillion. The filing describes big goals, like making life multi-planetary and possibly using satellites for artificial intelligence powered by solar energy. Some analysts say reaching the target valuation may require very high growth over many years and call the price demanding. The company's main sources of revenue appear to be launch services and Starlink, with future plans involving AI technology in space. Details about share pricing are not final yet, and SpaceX may update the filing as market conditions change.

Google integrates Gemini 3.5 Flash into Search, unveils XR glasses

Google announced big changes to Search by adding Gemini 3.5 Flash, which may help it work better across devices like phones and new XR glasses. Search could move from a simple box to an always-on helper that uses text, images, and even other apps as input. Google says the XR glasses, expected in late 2026, might let users get answers about things they see without opening a browser. Early reports suggest smart glasses could grow, especially for businesses, but most people may wait for lower prices and more stylish designs. Experts suggest that to show up in search results, brands may need to use clear data, trustworthy labels, and content that is easy for AI to use.

Nvidia reports $81.6B quarter, boosts dividend 2400%

Nvidia reported record revenue of $81.6 billion for the quarter, up about 85 percent from last year, mostly from its Data Center business. The company boosted its dividend by 2400 percent and authorized an $80 billion share buyback, moves that may show confidence in future earnings. Nvidia reorganized its business into Data Center and Edge Computing units, which might help investors better understand where demand is coming from. Management said supply issues could limit short-term growth, even though demand for AI chips remains strong. The company expects next quarter's revenue to be around $91 billion, but some uncertainty remains, especially about supply and future opportunities.

Shein Acquires Everlane for $100M, Cuts $90M Debt

Shein agreed to buy Everlane for about $100 million, which is much less than Everlane's 2020 value of $550 million. Shein also plans to pay off nearly $90 million of Everlane's debt, so the total relief may be around $190 million. This sale suggests that marketplace buyers now prefer profitable brands and that high growth alone may not be enough. There appear to be some challenges, like a possible conflict between Everlane's focus on sustainability and Shein's low-cost approach. The drop in Everlane's value may show that current buyers are more cautious and prices for direct-to-consumer brands are lower now.

SpaceX Files S-1, Targets $75B Raise at $1.75T Valuation

SpaceX has filed for a public offering, aiming to raise $75 billion at a $1.75 trillion valuation. The company says it wants to become multiplanetary and is investing heavily in projects like Mars settlement and artificial intelligence. Elon Musk's compensation may depend on big milestones, such as reaching a $7.5 trillion valuation and having a million people living on Mars, but the timeline for these is uncertain. Most of the recent spending has gone to the AI division, and future profits may depend on growth in satellites, rockets, and AI. The filing also warns of risks and does not promise when projects like Mars colonies or space data centers might make money.

26 states regulate AI deepfakes in 2026 elections, but rules vary

26 states regulate AI deepfakes in 2026 elections, but rules vary

Twenty-six states have rules about using AI deepfakes in the 2026 elections, but these rules are different in each place. Many local leaders are worried because only a small number of people feel sure they can spot fake pictures or videos, which means even small fakes may hurt trust. There is no national rule for labeling AI-made political ads, so states and online platforms have their own ways, like labels or bans close to election day. Experts suggest that communities share accurate information early, keep records for checking, and teach people how to spot fakes. Without stronger and more uniform rules, fake content may spread faster than the efforts to control it.

Bristol Myers Squibb expands AI drug discovery with Anthropic's Claude

Bristol Myers Squibb has started using Anthropic's Claude AI to help develop new drugs, from early research to regulatory tasks. The company uses a "predict first" approach, where ideas are tested using AI before lab work begins. Claude may help with summarizing research, writing reports, and supporting safety and regulatory documents. BMS is also working with other AI partners, like Tempus and Evinova, to improve different parts of drug discovery and trials. Experts say AI tools might speed up early research, but it is still unclear if this will lead to more drugs getting approved.

CISA orders agencies to patch critical Cisco SD-WAN flaw by May 17

CISA has ordered federal agencies to fix a critical security flaw in Cisco SD-WAN systems by May 17. This flaw, which has the highest possible severity score, may let attackers gain control of important network parts without logging in. Security officials say attacks started in mid-2026 and are still happening. Some experts suggest the problem could affect more organizations than first thought, and the group behind the attacks has not been linked to any country. CISA also recommends several steps to secure the systems and check for signs of past attacks.

Authentic Brands Acquires Lee Denim for $1 Billion, Expands Portfolio

Authentic Brands Group plans to buy Lee denim for $1 billion, but the deal still needs regulatory approval and may close in late 2026. ABG says it will move Lee to a licensing model, which might help the brand expand into new product categories more quickly. Lee made about $750 million in sales in 2025, and ABG sees this as a chance to grow its denim business, which already includes Dockers and a stake in Guess. Analysts suggest this licensing plan could keep the brand visible while lowering risks, but there may be concerns if new partners do not fit well. ABG has not yet shared details about future licensees or where Lee products will be sold.

Nvidia reorganizes reporting, spotlights enterprise AI and edge computing

Nvidia changed how it reports earnings in fiscal 2026, splitting results into Data Center and Edge Computing. Inside Data Center, it now separates revenue from Hyperscale and ACIE (AI clouds, industrial, and enterprise customers), with ACIE growing much faster than Hyperscale. This new setup may help investors see where demand is rising most quickly, especially as enterprise and industrial clients might be scaling AI projects faster than big cloud companies. Edge Computing is now reported on its own, possibly highlighting its growing importance for tasks that need very low delays. The company's strong overall results suggest these areas could keep driving growth, but future changes in reporting rules could affect how numbers are compared.

GitHub breach exposes 3,800 repos after malicious VS Code extension install

A GitHub breach was confirmed on May 20, 2026, after an employee installed a malicious Visual Studio Code extension linked to TeamPCP. Attackers reportedly gained access to about 3,800 internal repositories by stealing the employee's credentials through the extension. This may have exposed sensitive information and secrets, but GitHub says there is no evidence that public customer repositories were affected. Studies suggest that a small percentage of VS Code extensions display suspicious behavior, showing that developer tools can be a way for attackers to get in. Experts recommend checking and controlling extensions, rotating secrets, and monitoring for unusual activity to reduce risks.

Google I/O 2026: AI Mode in Search surpasses 1 billion users

Google I/O 2026 showed that Google's search is moving towards an AI-powered system that works on many devices, including phones, cars, and soon smart glasses. AI Mode in Search reportedly has over 1 billion monthly users, and Google may be making search more like a conversation rather than just showing links. Smart glasses might make searching easier and more natural, but comfort and price could still be problems. Experts suggest that simple answer pages could get fewer visits, while unique or complex content may still attract users. Brands and publishers may need to make their content easier for AI to read and use, as being featured in AI answers might become more important than just ranking high in search results.

GenAI cuts B2B sales cycles by 1.2 months, shifts buyer expectations

Generative AI may be changing how B2B buyers shop, with about 89 percent using AI at some point in their process. This suggests buyers do more research on their own and come to meetings with a shortlist and specific questions. The average B2B sales cycle appears to be getting shorter, dropping from 11.3 months to 10.1 months. Buyers seem to expect faster, clearer answers from sellers, and more value is placed on data and case studies that AI can easily understand. Experts warn that AI-driven research is harder for sellers to track, which might make it tough to measure early interest and require new ways to spot serious buyers.

CISA orders agencies to patch critical Cisco SD-WAN flaw by May 2026

CISA has ordered federal agencies to fix a serious Cisco SD-WAN security flaw (CVE-2026-20182) by May 17, 2026, or remove the affected devices. The flaw may let attackers join networks as trusted members without logging in, and there is no known workaround. Reports suggest the bug is being exploited, and agencies must use specific updated software versions or disconnect vulnerable devices. Some organizations are still struggling to update, though many have already applied the fix. Experts recommend checking for unusual activity and changes to make sure attackers have not already gained access.
