BlockBeats message: On July 26, during an interview, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the conflict between Israel and Iran would only end if Iran’s current regime falls or is so thoroughly weakened that it is forced to abandon its nuclear program. He emphasized that, “whether or not an agreement is reached,” Iran’s nuclear program must be terminated. When discussing the planned meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, Netanyahu said that the focus of the meeting would not be on delivering new intelligence, since the U.S. and Israel’s military and intelligence departments are working closely together. He claimed the purpose of the trip was to consult with and understand Trump’s views, and said that to a large extent the development of the situation would depend on Trump’s final decision.

BlockBeats report: On July 26, a video of Musk’s interview with (The Economist) was released, which had been published on July 23. In the video, (The Economist) editor-in-chief Bezos accuses Musk of being out of touch, abusing his influence to spread false panic about Europe and far-right rhetoric. “You (Musk) described to me those extraordinary, civilization-changing events that will happen over the next decade. However, you are also a continuing participant in the worst cesspool of social-media tribalism.”
In response to Bezos’s sharp attacks, Musk said, “My partner (Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis) has half Indian blood, and she and I have four children. One of our children is named after a well-known Indian physicist. So I don’t think I’m a racist. And if you look at the employees in my company, you’ll find that our executives come from many different races. I don’t think there is any racial discrimination there.”

BlockBeats, July 26—Musk reiterated and further specified his timeline: within about 5 years, AI’s overall intelligence could surpass the total sum of human intelligence; within about 10 years, humans are very likely to no longer be in control (analogous to an intelligence gap far greater than that between chimpanzees and humans). He said that, aside from “being human” itself, AI can do almost everything better.
Elon Musk believes the most likely outcome of AI development is a “surprising age of abundance,” in which robots + AI can produce goods and services far beyond humanity’s consumption capacity, and anyone can have whatever they want. By around 2036, “money may no longer matter.” He argues that governments could directly send checks to the public (similar to universal high income), because output will surge, making deflation more likely than inflation; the logic of traditional taxation/redistribution may fail under the new paradigm. He accepts that AI poses an approximately 10–20% risk of human extinction, but believes the momentum of development is unstoppable—he has reached a “philosophical conclusion”: if you can’t stop it, then join in and “enjoy the journey.”

BlockBeats reported on July 26 that, according to Israel’s i24 News, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said at the opening of a cabinet meeting: “Tomorrow I will depart for Washington to meet with President Trump at his invitation, then attend the memorial ceremony for Israel’s great friend, Senator Lindsey Graham, and will discuss with Trump all issues on the current agenda, including the situation involving Iran.”
Regarding the International Criminal Court’s removal of its chief prosecutor Karim Khan, Netanyahu said that the voting result “revealed a fact: he was not only accused of sexually harassing multiple female subordinates, but he also had pushed for the issuance of arrest warrants against Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Netanyahu said the prosecutor did so “to divert attention, rally all of Israel’s enemies around him, and provide himself with a protective umbrella.” Netanyahu also spoke by phone with U.S. Secretary of State Rubio, who said the United States intends to take strong action against the International Criminal Court.

BlockBeats report: On July 26, South Korean media outlet Ket reported that South Korea’s SK Telecom (SKT) announced the establishment of a new company specializing in AI data centers (AIDC), called “SK Hyper,” and plans to invest a total of 750 billion won to drive the expansion of large-scale AI data center business. It is expected to make an initial investment of 330 billion won and to accumulate 750 billion won in investments by December 2030. Ultimately, it plans to hold 100% equity in the company.
According to reports, the newly established SK Hyper will be responsible for the development and commercialization of future large-scale AI data center projects, including early-stage work such as site selection, power infrastructure, and customer business partnerships. It will subsequently introduce external funding sources such as equity investments from financial investors (FI) and project financing (PF).

BlockBeats news: On July 26, next week is destined to be full of opportunities and challenges for investors. The market will face a dense set of turning-point opportunities. Among them, the most difficult to predict is the situation between the US and Iran. On the one hand, the market expects that Trump has strong TACO incentives, and he already halted the strikes against Iran on Friday. On the other hand, both Israel’s “pouring oil on the fire” and whether Iran is willing to make concessions in negotiations will affect how long peace can last. At a time when AI trading is cooling down and expectations for macro liquidity are shifting, geopolitical conflicts are undoubtedly the best reason for market selloffs. Therefore, the direction of the US-Iran situation next week deserves the utmost attention from investors. In addition, the China memory-chip leader Changxin Technology, which has drawn significant market attention, will be listed on China’s STAR Market on Monday. After the stock is listed, its performance may deeply influence market sentiment around AI trading.
