🚀 MUSK TO RENAME SPACEXAI AS SPACEXSI

Elon Musk says SpaceX will rename its artificial intelligence unit SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI, adopting the term “Super Intelligence” (SI) instead of “Artificial Intelligence” (AI).

The announcement follows President Donald Trump’s push to replace the term AI with “Super Intelligence” in U.S. government communications. Trump has argued that the new terminology better reflects the technology’s capabilities.

Musk confirmed the change on X after a user asked whether SpaceXAI would become SpaceXSI. He also posted that “SI” is better and described SpaceX as a “super intelligence company.” However, no official timeline for the rebranding has been announced, and the company’s public accounts were still using the SpaceXAI name at the time of the reports.

The move illustrates how rapidly the language surrounding frontier AI is changing—and how closely Musk’s companies are aligning their branding with the emerging U.S. policy debate over advanced intelligence technologies.

🇧🇷 FLÁVIO BOLSONARO SURPASSES LULA AND BRAZIL HEADING TOWARD A SECOND ROUND

The first round of Brazil’s presidential election ended with Flávio Bolsonaro ahead of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, but without reaching the absolute majority needed to win in the first round.

According to the tally published by The Wall Street Journal, with 98% of votes counted, Flávio obtained 47.31% of the valid votes, compared with Lula’s 44.83%.

The result confirms the strong electoral weight of Brazil’s right wing and sets up a direct showdown between two opposing political projects. The second round is scheduled for October 25.

The campaign was marked by debates over public security, the economy, government spending, and social programs, but also by intense political polarization and controversies involving both camps.

The WSJ notes that the result represents a decisive moment for Brazil: the election could redefine the country’s economic, social, and diplomatic direction, while also keeping open one of Latin America’s most polarized political disputes.

HORMUZ STRAIT: OIL FLOW RESUMED… THEN THE ATTACKS STARTED AGAIN

Oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz had recently returned to levels close to those seen before the war. But a new wave of attacks against ships now threatens this fragile recovery, according to an analysis by The Wall Street Journal.

Since September 28, seven vessels are said to have been attacked around the strait. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards have also warned ships to avoid the route backed by the United States.

Crude exports from the Gulf, excluding Iran, reached about 16.5 million barrels per day between September 1 and September 28—nearing the level seen before the conflict. But analysts estimate that flows may already have fallen by 2 to 3 million barrels per day.

The problem is also economic: some producers need to arrange oil transfers between ships outside the strait. These operations can cost $30 to $40 million per trip, even before insurance costs.

And markets are reacting: Brent ended Friday at $102.25 per barrel, up nearly 5% for the week. A new escalation could therefore reignite energy price tensions and feed into global inflation. (The Wall Street Journal)

👉 The WSJ’s message is clear: the export rebound is real, but it rests on an extremely fragile balance. Another wave of attacks could quickly disrupt the global oil market.

EU WITHDRAWS ALL B-1 BOMBERS FROM A BASE IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

The United States has withdrawn all of its B-1 bombers from the British air base RAF Fairford, according to The Wall Street Journal. The decision was made amid security concerns related to possible attack plans against the facility.

Until recently, about 12 B-1 Lancers were stationed at the base, which had been used as an important support point for American operations against Iran. The withdrawal represents a significant shift in the U.S. military posture in the region.

The concern increased after five men were arrested near RAF Fairford in an investigation into a possible terrorist plot. British authorities later said there were strong indications of a possible Iranian link, although the investigation is still ongoing. (The Wall Street Journal⁠)

The incident shows how the war against Iran is producing effects that go far beyond the Middle East, raising the risks of sabotage, terrorism, and escalation against American and European military facilities.

🌍 THE END OF THE OLD MIDDLE EAST, AND THE DANGEROUS WORLD THAT IS EMERGING

In an essay published in The Wall Street Journal, historian Simon Sebag-Montefiore—author of The Cauldron: The Making of the Modern Middle East—argues that the Middle East is undergoing a profound geopolitical transformation.

According to Montefiore, old regional rivalries are giving way to new alliances and strategic convergences, driven by recent conflicts. The result is a region where security interests and national survival begin to outweigh older divisions.

An example cited by the historian is the relationship between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. Despite enormous regional tensions, the Abraham Accords remain in force. Montefiore notes that the UAE even used Iron Dome technology and Israeli personnel to help repel Iranian attacks.

For the author, these developments are not isolated episodes. They are part of a larger transformation in which different conflicts and geopolitical theaters are increasingly interconnected.

The outcome may be a less predictable Middle East, with more pragmatic alliances and a completely different balance of power from the one that defined the past few decades.

The World’s Digital Leaders in 2026

$AMD.US recorded $10.90B in volume and gained 2.95% to $633.91. Its fundamental story remains closely tied to AI and data centers, with Q2 revenue previously reaching $11.54B, up 50% YoY, while Data Center revenue jumped 107% to $6.7B—supporting the bullish AI-growth narrative.

$SNDK.US SanDisk traded $13.48B and dropped 3.78% to $1,719.99. The stock remains highly sensitive to the AI memory cycle: investors see enormous demand potential, but the sector has also experienced sharp volatility as markets debate future memory supply and pricing.

$SPCX.US SpaceX generated $17.81B in trading volume and jumped 7.35% to $158.96, its strongest move among the major names shown. The rally followed three launches in less than 13 hours, including major Starlink and orbital activity, reinforcing investor enthusiasm around the company’s launch and satellite businesses.

$TSLA.US Tesla traded $18.58B and surged 4.65% to $370.59 after reporting 486,532 Q3 deliveries, comfortably above Wall Street expectations. Deliveries were still about 2% below the year-ago level, but the strong beat revived optimism around demand and helped drive the stock higher.

$MU.US Micron traded $27.87B and fell 2.05% to $1,074.89 despite exceptionally strong fundamentals. The company recently forecast $61.5B in quarterly revenue, above the $57.02B consensus, while long-term customer commitments jumped to $32B, highlighting intense AI-driven demand for memory.

$NVDA.US was the most actively traded stock, with $28.30B in volume, rising 1.33% to $233.95. The move comes as investors continue to digest NVIDIA’s massive $150B increase in its buyback authorization, while AI demand remains the core growth driver.

🇺🇸📈 Governments want U.S. stocks… more than the debt!

A major shift seems to be taking shape in the strategy of the States: foreign governments could gradually favor U.S. stocks over Treasury bonds.

For decades, U.S. debt has been one of the main safe havens for international reserves. But amid concerns about budget deficits, rising indebtedness, and the potential erosion of the real yield on bonds, Wall Street equities are looking increasingly attractive.

💰 The paradox is striking: countries could continue to believe in the economic power of the United States, while being less enthusiastic about directly funding its debt.

📊 If this trend accelerates, it could profoundly change global capital flows and further strengthen the weight of Wall Street in sovereign portfolios.

👉 The world may not be turning its back on the United States: it’s simply changing how it invests in America.

🇺🇸🇧🇷 BRAZIL: THE BIGGEST TEST FOR TRUMP'S “DONROE DOCTRINE”

Brazil's presidential election has become a crucial test for Donald Trump's strategy in Latin America. The showdown between Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro could determine not only Brazil's political direction, but also the balance of power in South America.

The so-called “Donroe Doctrine,” a reference to the historical Monroe Doctrine, seeks to strengthen Washington's influence in the Western Hemisphere and reduce the strategic presence of China and other powers. In the Brazilian case, the White House has already used tariffs, sanctions, and diplomatic pressure as foreign policy tools. (The Actual News)

The link between Trump and the Bolsonaro family adds a geopolitical dimension to the dispute. A possible victory by Flávio Bolsonaro could bring Brazil significantly closer to Washington's agenda; a Lula win, on the other hand, would keep a more independent foreign policy with strong ties to China and Europe. (Reuters)

🌎 Brazil is too big to be a secondary player: with the largest economy in Latin America and a strategic position in the hemisphere, the outcome of this election could become one of the region's most important geopolitical developments.

Will Brazil be the country that tests how far the new Trump strategy in Latin America can go?

ALMOST AT THE SPEED OF SOUND: THE BOEING 737 MAX THAT ENTERED A 5-KM DIVE AND SURVIVED! ✈️😱

A Boeing 737 MAX went through one of the most extreme situations ever faced by a commercial aircraft: the jet entered a brutal dive, reaching approximately Mach 0.96—almost the speed of sound!

For about 92 seconds, the plane plunged roughly 5.3 kilometers, experiencing forces up to 3 G, above the model’s expected operational limit. Part of the tail rudder was damaged during the incident.

And then came the unbelievable part: the pilots managed to regain control of the aircraft.

Even after the dive and the structural damage, the 737 MAX remained flyable and continued for more than an hour before making a safe emergency landing in Saudi Arabia.

🔥 A commercial aircraft almost thrown toward the ground, near the speed of sound—and yet it still managed to get back to flying.

The incident is impressive not only for the 737 MAX’s resilience, but also for the pilots’ performance, who had decisive seconds to recover an aircraft subjected to extreme conditions.

⚡️

$TSLA.US Tesla gained 4.18% to $368.93 after reporting 486,532 Q3 deliveries, above expectations of roughly 457,000. Deliveries were still about 2.1% below the year-ago quarter, but the beat provided evidence of stronger demand than feared; Q3 financial results are scheduled for October 21.

$SPCX.US SpaceX is up 5.43% to $156.12, with investors focusing on its rapidly expanding AI and Starlink businesses. Q2 revenue reached $7.8B, up 92% YoY, while adjusted EBITDA jumped 191% to $3.5B; AI revenue rose roughly 248%, making AI infrastructure an increasingly important part of the business.

$WDC.US Western Digital has fallen 9.49% to $418.63, facing the same fundamental pressure as Seagate: potentially more HDD supply from Toshiba. WD recently reported $3.34B in quarterly revenue, $8.20 GAAP EPS and $978M in free cash flow, so the key issue is whether increased competition will compress its unusually strong margins.

$STX.US Seagate is down 11.65% to $835.33, hit by news that Toshiba plans to significantly expand HDD production for AI data centers. The concern is that additional supply could weaken the pricing power that has supported Seagate’s recent profitability.
