Soundtrack Technologies, a Music Streamer for Businesses, Buys Out Two Rivals

IMHO - This has nothing to do with "space based AI" ... last I checked the sun shines on the earth's surface too...

This is financial engineering so Musk can:

1) fund his money losing and bloated valuation xAI with TAXPAYER $$$ >> aka funnel $ from SpaceX to keep xAI going.
2) mask Tesla and Twitter/X's declining values and poor results so they are less visible to investors who keep plowing $$ into these meme stocks.
3) continue his massive game of 3 card monte - look here, no look over here, no look over here.

FYI - estimates are that SpaceX gets 70-80 % of its revenue from contracts with the U.S. Gov. and DoD. Exact #'s are impossible to get - SpaceX is still a private company.

Count me as also being in the WTF club on this one! SpaceX exploring merging with xAI??????

"The value, timing, and primary rationale of any potential deal could not be determined."

Some commentators suggest that Musk is spreading himself out much too thin these days, therefore consolidation is possibly a good thing. This feels like some kinda convoluted financial engineering stunt, and if true, the only winner(s) will be Musk and a few select leaders @ SpaceX and/or xAI. https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20260130VL209/spacex-xai-tesla-merger-ipo.html #SpaceX #xAI #Merger #Acquisition #FinancialEngineering #AI #Space #IPO #Investors #Investing #Equity

Westcon-Comstor just bought REAL security, one of the leading cybersecurity distributors in the Balkans. Founded in Slovenia back in 2002, REAL Security has been connecting vendors with partners across 8 countries for over two decades. Now with Westcon-Comstor's backing, expect bigger things for the region's cyber defense market. This is their first deal since acquiring Rebura in 2024.
