SpaceX Stock Drops After First Earnings Call as Musk Fails to Woo Investors With AI Goals

Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

SpaceX faces fresh pressure as up to 911.5 million insider-held shares become eligible for sale on Aug. 6, following an after-hours stock drop of more than 8% after its first public earnings call. The company reported second-quarter revenue of $7.8 billion, up 92% from a year earlier, and a narrower $541 million net loss. Spending unsettled investors: capital expenditures reached $18.4 billion, including $15.8 billion for AI infrastructure. Starlink drove much of the growth, while compute deals with Anthropic and Google also contributed.
