SpaceX IPO Filing Exposes the Reality Behind Musk’s Twitter Revenue Dreams

SpaceX’s S-1 filing shows Elon Musk’s Twitter revenue projections were largely fantasy. When X merged with xAI and SpaceX, 2025 revenue totaled about $3.2B (combining X and Grok), far short of the $26.4B Musk pitched for 2028. As of March 2026, paid subscribers numbered about 6.3M (roughly 4.4M X Premium and 1.9M Grok), yielding around $365M in revenue—not the massive subscription wave promised. The payments business launched late and AI losses exceeded $6B, while ad revenue barely nudged upward. The SpaceX IPO may unlock value by bundling the stack, but the underlying results reveal a stark gap between projections and reality.

Taj Jackson Slams Media Ahead of Michael Biopic Debut

As the Michael Jackson biopic Michael nears release, Taj Jackson, Michael’s nephew, publicly blasts the press on X, saying the media can’t control the film’s narrative and that the public will decide who Michael Jackson truly was, even joking that critics will have to eat crow. The piece notes the film covers Jackson 5 to the Bad era, explains past depiction limits due to a settlement, mentions 22 days of reshoots costing about $15–20 million, and cites some pre-release box‑office predictions amid a mixed Rotten Tomatoes score.
