SpaceX investors are getting a reality check. After soaring from its $150 IPO price to roughly $220, SpaceX shares have fallen back below their IPO level, raising questions about valuation, debt, governance, and whether the AI boom can justify the enormous capital spending now expected from leading technology companies. Meanwhile, Anthropic is pushing AI deeper into the workplace with Claude Tag for Slack. The new feature lets users summon Claude directly into conversations, follow discussion context, summarize threads, break projects into tasks, and help teams collaborate without constantly switching applications. It's another step toward AI agents that function as digital coworkers rather than simple chatbots. And opposition to AI data centers is expanding beyond environmental groups and local residents. Conservative organizations are now joining critics who argue that massive AI infrastructure projects consume too much power, receive excessive subsidies, and provide too little benefit to local communities. New polling suggests public skepticism toward both AI and large-scale data center construction may be growing.
