You're tuned in to Tech Beat. Here's what's moving in tech today.

SpaceX has filed for an IPO, and the numbers are staggering. The rocket maker will trade under the ticker SPCX, and if valuations hold, the offering could push Elon Musk's net worth into the trillions. The filing also reveals the full scope of Musk's ambitions — weaving together launch systems, Starlink, and artificial intelligence into a single infrastructure giant.

That filing also pulled back the curtain on xAI, Musk's AI venture, which burned through six point four billion dollars last year alone. The company is planning a massive expansion of its Grok model, and there's no sign the spending slows down anytime soon. It's a rare public glimpse into what has been, until now, a very private financial story.

Meanwhile, OpenAI says it has cracked a mathematics problem that has been open since nineteen forty six — one originally posed by the legendary Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős. The claim is extraordinary, and the math community will scrutinize it closely, but if it holds up, it marks a meaningful moment for AI reasoning beyond language and chat.

That's the shape of the day in tech. Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
