đŸŸ„đŸŸŠđŸŸ© “The world’s 1st mobile game” — Rubik’s Cube’s toy surge. Elon’s GrokBot fundraise. Airbus’ all-time high (literally).

Ep. 1123
‱

The world has a new #1 airplane company: Airbus — Airbus’s market value just passed Boeing for the 1st time ever. We want to talk about their 12-year waitlist.

The Rubik’s Cube toy that’s messed with your minds is surging right now — It sells $75M/year by defying the screen.

And xAI, Elon’s chatbot company, is reportedly raising money at a $15-20B valuation — But with AI, you are what you eat (and Grok eats Twitter).
