Personal AI is a bigger threat to Google than ChatGPT ever was. Surprisingly, shares of $GOOG are up 7% since Muse launched, versus a 3% gain for the Nasdaq. ChatGPT mostly answered questions Google wasn't monetizing anyway. Assistants transact. Google built a $250B search business on routing those transactions. Google’s response is Task, a Gemini feature formerly known as Spark. The question is: can Google do with Task what it did with AI Overviews and AI Mode by successfully redirecting Search traffic to its own AI features?

FSD is at an inflection point and traditional auto doesn’t have an answer. $TSLA

$TSLA shares down 6% on the huge delivery beat for three reasons. The biggest was buy on the rumor. The second is a question of how much did high gas prices help the number and third, the ending of the DOGE headwind (Elon left in May 25). Bottom line: The EV winter that started in March of 2024 is ending. Even backing out those one time benefits, it still was a monster delivery number, likely up 20% plus vs. up 6% in March.

Apple's AI risk isn't the iPhone losing out. It's getting boxed out of the services upside. $AAPL If people lock into $META Muse or $SPCX Grokbot first, get their lives connected and workflows set up, and start paying $20+ per month, it will be harder to get them to switch to using Siri in any meaningful way. Siri can be a great personal AI, but Apple needs to move faster. From our Apple episode of Fathom with Doug Clinton.

While TSLA shares will likely be down tomorrow, the long term story continues to improve. Elon is all in on capex, FSD adoption is accelerating, Robotaxi is rolling out slowly to prioritize safety before scaling, and the odds of a SpaceX-Tesla merger just inched higher.

$TSLA is down because they slightly missed March delivery expectations.That doesn't change the takeaway. March deliveries were the first solid read on underlying demand; they grew without the help of tax credits, and growth going forward should quicken. Over the past two years, the top five carmakers have reduced EV investments by an average of 35%. I expect those reductions to be costly long-term. Below is a deep dive.

$AAPL's “Welcome Home” announcements today should add just under 1% to FY27 revenue. More important is the accelerating pace of product announcements. The “Home” segment represents new revenue for Apple, but the biggest incremental consumer opportunity over the next five years is personalized bots, a category in which Apple has yet to make any announcements, as it’s just getting the Siri chatbot out the door.

The most underappreciated data point on MU’s earnings call was that the number of five-year SCAs increased from one last quarter to seven this quarter. That’s significant because it suggests customers expect this buildout to last for at least five years and want greater pricing visibility over that time frame.

Beyond the headline of next week’s $TSLA deliveries is the reality that the EV business is in a better place today than two years ago. Big Auto made big cuts to EV investment over that time, and that gives Tesla a bigger opportunity, especially in the US where we don’t have BYD.
