Sundry Photography ASML ( ASML ) shares rose more than 3% in premarket trading on Thursday, ahead of the company's internal event known as the Technology Conference. The annual event is seeing increased attention this year, as Tesla ( TSLA ) and SpaceX ( SPCX ) CEO Elon Musk is set to speak to employees. Musk will speak later today at the event via video link, a source familiar with the matter told Seeking Alpha. The event was extended to Musk in relation to the ongoing Terafab project, which will see Tesla and SpaceX work together to build a semiconductor plant in Texas, the source added. ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet confirmed last month that he had discussions with Musk about the Terafab and that he considers the project a “serious endeavor,” the source explained. In May, SpaceX initially proposed spending $55B on the project, with the total cost increasing to $119B over time. The project would begin with a smaller advanced fabrication facility capable of designing and testing a wide range of chips, with ambitions to scale into a much larger operation. Musk has long argued that current chipmakers are not expanding fast enough to meet the demands of next-generation AI systems. Without the Terafab, “we don’t see a path to having enough” chips for AI given “the rate at which the industry is growing,” Musk told investors recently. The proposed fab would produce two main types of chips: lower-power processors for vehicles, robotaxis, and humanoid robots; and higher-performance chips designed for space-based computing. Musk envisions eventually supporting massive computing capacity both on Earth and in orbit, though he did not provide a timeline. Musk unveiled plans for the semiconductor venture in March. He is seeking greater control over chip supply for AI, robotics, and space computing. Last month, Musk said that the Terafab project would use Intel's ( INTC ) 14A manufacturing process in the plant. Some analysts have said the creation of the Terafab project, which is ...

Welcome to our guide to the commodities driving the global economy. Today, reporter Will Wade digs into a milestone achieved by an American nuclear startup. The Trump administration has been hailing the “rebirth of America’s nuclear industry” after a reactor startup reached a key milestone . Antares Nuclear Inc. is developing the new and unproven technology for small nuclear power plants, which could be used much more widely than traditional large-scale facilities. They are of particular interest to power-hungry AI data centers. Last week, Antares achieved a self-sustaining fission reaction known as “ zero-power fueled criticality .” It shows the company’s design can produce a steady release of energy — enough for a single LED light bulb for now. But it will be quite some time before this tiny flow of energy can be scaled up to fulfill the US Department of Energy’s boast of a “nuclear renaissance.” “It’s different from proving commercial viability,” says Chris Gadomski, chief nuclear analyst at BloombergNEF. “They’re not going to be creating power tomorrow.” The US nuclear industry has been stagnating for decades. The country has added just three traditional reactors this century. No new commercial-scale projects are under construction today despite great interest from President Donald Trump and several states. The US hasn’t managed to commercialize the small modular reactors, or SMRs, that have tantalized hyperscalers with their potential to provide clean round-the-clock power for AI data centers. No such power plants are installed in the country today. In this context, Antares has taken an unequivocally important step for US efforts to revive its nuclear industry. It is the first company to achieve criticality under an Energy Department program initiated last year after Trump returned to the White House. The goal is to get two more firms to achieve the same thing with their SMR designs by July 4. Oklo Inc., a next-gen nuclear company that includes OpenAI’s Chief E...

A Small Win For Free Speech In UK Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity , South Wales Police has shelved plans to record instances of "anti-Muslim hostility" that strayed beyond what officers considered "legitimate" discussion of Islam. The force paused the policy after the Free Speech Union threatened judicial review and Shadow Equalities Minister Claire Coutinho referred it to the Equality and Human Rights Commission. Critics had warned the guidance functioned as a de facto blasphemy law in a country that scrapped such statutes 18 years ago. The climbdown represents a tangible check on efforts to police speech through vague, subjective rules that empower authorities to decide what counts as acceptable criticism of one religion. ?? FSU Victory!! The Free Speech Union has just heard from South Wales Police that it has withdrawn its guidance on "anti-Muslim hostility". The force had effectively adopted its own Islamic blasphemy law, instructing officers to record any conversation that went beyond... pic.twitter.com/aEHeGGuxr5 - The Free Speech Union (@SpeechUnion) June 9, 2026 Earlier this month, South Wales Police directed staff to log comments about Islam that exceeded the force's view of legitimate discourse. Anything beyond that line risked classification as an anti-social behaviour incident - the rebranded term for non-crime hate incidents. Those records could then appear in enhanced DBS checks, affecting employment prospects for teachers, carers and others in regulated roles. The approach effectively "gold-plated" the UK government's March definition of anti-Muslim hostility. While ministers included explicit free speech safeguards stating the definition was not meant to inhibit criticism of Islam or Islamic practices, South Wales Police added its own subjective layer. Officers gained discretion to judge speech on the spot. Free Speech Union General Secretary Lord Young highlighted the danger at the time: "Our concern is that police forces and other public bod...

Apollo Global Management Inc. is assessing every new investment opportunity in the software industry for AI disruption risk, as asset managers try to quell investor concerns that rapid advances in the technology could make businesses obsolete. Rob Bittencourt , head of thematic investing at the firm, said the firm developed a new framework for assessing risk last year, dividing software into 12 to 14 categories, and ranking them by susceptibility to AI disruption. “We also went through our existing portfolio and overlaid that framework on top of our existing portfolio last year to determine where we might want to move on and minimize our risk,” Bittencourt said on a Bloomberg Intelligence podcast released Thursday. Apollo’s move follows similar efforts by other asset managers to quantify and cut AI-related risk after investor concerns about heavy exposure to software companies dragged shares lower and fueled outflows from the $1.8 trillion private credit industry. Ares Management Corp. in April said it hired an outside consultant to examine software-oriented investments in its largest publicly traded private credit fund. Blackstone Inc. and Blue Owl Capital Inc. conducted internal evaluations of their investments. Bittencourt, who described advances in AI as “probably the most profound platform shift that the industry has ever faced,” said that businesses with workflows easily managed by AI are most at risk. He pointed to data visualization as an example. Apollo also screened businesses that are protected from the threat of AI. Healthcare, for example, is heavily regulated, making it harder for businesses in that industry to adopt AI, Bittencourt said. He said Apollo’s framework also took into account companies’ management and spending on research and development, and the firm looked for managers with “strategic urgency to adapt.” “Are they acting and articulating a strategic vision that has enough urgency that reflects the pace of change that’s occurring in the und...
