The startup growing faster
than Tesla and SpaceX
Former tech executive Jeff Brown says an Elon Musk-backed startup that has nothing to do with cars or space launches is growing faster than Tesla, faster than SpaceX, and 23 times faster than Nvidia. Bloomberg reports it is moving toward a blockbuster IPO. His new presentation names the company and shows how investors can claim a stake for as little as $50.

KEY TAKES
|

TODAY'S TOP 5 GAINERS
1 · GLND +67.9% · $3.71 | ~152M | Nasdaq. One Truth Social post on Greenland oil, gas and mineral exploration. ~$156M micro-cap, noise-prone. A short seller (Fugazi Research, Sep 28) called it "uninvestable."
2 · BSP +47.9% · $56.01 | ~13.6M | Nasdaq. Berkshire invests another $330M, taking its stake to 4%. The only top-5 name with a real buyer writing a check.
3 · MXCT +30.1% · $1.26 | ~10.7M | Nasdaq. Preliminary Q3 revenue $8.1M vs $7.02M consensus. Raised FY26 view to $34M from $30M-$32M. Preliminary numbers, trades near $1.
4 · LQDA +26.6% · $33.93 | ~16.3M | Nasdaq. Settlement with United Therapeutics removes a legal overhang. Least noise-prone of the five.
5 · GRML +22.4% · $6.78 | ~25.3M | Nasdaq. Same Truth Social post. ~$93M micro-cap, noise-prone.
Noise: AEHL +192% on no news with a $100M ATM on file. WFF, TC, and TDIC have no catalyst. Inverse ETFs are up because CoreWeave fell.

THE SIGNAL
A hot core print just made money more expensive. The bill landed on names that live on cheap financing: small caps (IWM −1.93%) and AI cloud builders (CoreWeave −15%, its bonds now yield over 15%). Healthcare got the bid (XLV +2.2%, UNH +3.2%). Exposed: debt-funded AI infrastructure (CRWV, neocloud peers), small caps, and airlines (airfares +22% in September CPI, UAL −4.8%, DAL −4.0%). TSMC reports Thursday Oct 15, SMH −3.3% today.
Wrong if: IWM closes the gap with SPY by the 4:00 PM bell and CRWV recovers half its drop.

HEADLINE OF THE DAY
“Top Midday Stories: CPI Rises 3.7% YoY in September, Topping Estimates; BofA Shares Fall on Treasury Fine, Earnings Misses”
MT Newswires via QuoteMedia | Oct 14, 2026 11:37 AM ET
Two bills arrived the same session: one on the price of money (hot core), one on a single bank (fine plus miss). Core +0.3% vs 0.2% est is why October hike odds sit at 49% heading into the bell.

ONE TO WATCH
TSM · $431.76 (−3.0%) · Q3 report Thu Oct 15. Semis (SMH −3.3%) and CoreWeave are being sold on the cost of AI capital. TSMC's capex and margin guide is the next hard number on whether AI spending holds up. SeekingAlpha's preview has AI demand driving about 50% revenue growth, so margins are the test.
