Key developments

Semafor reported that Elon Musk invested in Skydance alongside Laurene Powell Jobs and others as the company cuts costs. Posters on X circulated that report, without independently verifying it. Shares reportedly reversed initial gains and briefly halted, showing a mixed intraday response; the evidence does not establish what caused the session decline.

Posters on X also discussed a possible SpaceX investment and distribution arrangement, while Malone predicted a Starlink partnership. Neither was an announced deal, and earlier SpaceX speculation preceded this session. One X poster argued that funding cannot substitute for stronger films and streaming performance. Separately, Malone’s allegations of political intervention renewed scrutiny of Skydance’s completed merger, but Netflix had offered a competing account of its bidding withdrawal.
