With the SpaceX IPO coming up, the history of Tesla stock has been pulled up. It’s been quite a ride for some.

SpaceX will, however, be the largest IPO ever recorded in terms of valuation (more on Muskonomy section), so… we’ll see if it becomes a rocket like Tesla was.

It’s been 16 years since Tesla’s IPO.

Outskill offered a free AI workshop that a lot of you signed up for a few months ago… happy to announce they’re back with something new!

Are you just using AI or really working with AI?

I personally (Jaan) use AI quite a lot.

Not for writing these newsletters, no.

But I use it to research what’s happening, yes, every single week!
I also used AI to build out Tesla Space stock tracker and some of our website.
Without knowing how to code at all.

Today, the chatbots (Claude’s Opus 4.8 is currently my go-to) and agents have achieved a level where they can truly make the things happen you’ve thought about in your head for years.

It’s time for YOU to get smarter with AI so you can utilize it to your advantage!

We Recommend joining Outskill- the world’s first AI learning platform where over 10+ Million Learners have learnt from top industry leaders like Microsoft, NVIDIA and Google.

They are hosting a 2 day LIVE AI Mastermind where you'll build automations, create personalized agents, and learn to turn AI into your ultimate competitive edge.

Tesla has reclaimed the global EV sales crown from BYD in Q1 2026, per TrendForce, back on top after a bumpy stretch.

And when we look at the EV sales per model in Q1, worldwide, you’ll see the absolute domination of Model Y at the global scale. And even Model 3 pulled off a second place:

And the more recent, May registration data out of Europe is genuinely eye-popping. The “Tesla is doomed in Europe” narrative is having a rough month:

And outside Europe, the story is similar:

This is significant: Austin’s previously small geofence for Unsupervised (driverless) robotaxis suddenly… popped to cover the whole area.

Now, also, there’s talks that all robotaxis in Austin are running driverless now —- but this is so far unconfirmed.

Meanwhile, we’re seeing Cybercabs staged here and there, this is Bridgeville, Pennsylvania Tesla showroom:

and this is a now-known spot in Dallas, Texas:

Now, just on May 28th Elon dropped this video saying “Cybercab driving itself out of the GigaTexas factory”, which Ashok quoted with “Soon it’ll be driving itself in to Austin city, reporting for duty!”

Last week we were watching the live tracker.

This week it’s done. Tesla FSD Supervised completed the first coast-to-coast drive across Canada: 3,760 miles (6,051 km) from Vancouver to Halifax, four days and 21 hours, on FSD v14.3.3, with zero human input.

David Moss, Devin Olsen and Spencer now hold both the US and Canada coast-to-coast firsts on FSD. What a run.

Meanwhile, there are other crazy FSD stats: Keith Wisner might just be the longest-FSD-driven record holder in the world for now, 73,240 miles of self-driving:

🇪🇪 And one close to home for me personally: Estonia just became the 3rd European country to approve FSD Supervised, after the Netherlands and Lithuania. The little Baltic corner of the FSD map is filling in fast although Latvia’s CSDD has taken quite a strong anti-stance. I’ve also by now seen Belgium, Spain and Greece make very deliberate moves to fast-track the system next.

🇨🇳 VIDEO: Tesla, in China reversing for a full 7 minutes… right on the edge of a cliff.

🇨🇴 Tesla opened its first Superchargers in Colombia, and of course one stall got the flag-wrap treatment. Tesla really cannot resist a flag-wrapped launch photo, and honestly, neither can we.

Tesla is also pushing Supercharger for Business globally with a dedicated new website. The turnkey “open a Supercharger site” play keeps widening.

SpaceX has just officially announced that it plans to raise $74.4 billion in its IPO, targeting a $135 per-share price and selling approximately 555.55 million shares, according to a new SEC filing.

That would give SpaceX a target IPO valuation of about $1.75 trillion.

Elon also clarified the Anthropic (Claude) deal of $1.25B/month for Colossus:

I think only Elon is able to say “well uh, that $1.25B next month, why don’t you keep it we’ll need the Colossus ourselves”.

Meanwhile, Starbase, Texas, celebrated its first birthday as an official city. There was a band.
