SpaceX board veteran Antonio Gracias seeks new AI and energy bets after SpaceX windfall

Antonio Gracias, a long-time SpaceX board member, is pursuing further investments in artificial intelligence, energy and space following the windfall from prior bets in Elon Musk’s company—one fund reportedly nearing $100 billion. The shift signals how capital that has accrued in commercial launch and space is being redirected into adjacent deep-tech sectors.

SpaceX IPO fallout: Starship reuse optimism collides with post-listing slump as short sellers pile in SpaceX’s record-setting IPO has quickly turned volatile—peaking on its third day and down roughly 15% since—while short sellers now hold nearly a third of tradable shares, with paper losses approaching three-quarters of a billion dollars. The filing also points to asteroid mining as a long-term upside, as a Delaware judge moves a private-share dispute to arbitration.

GPS-resilient drone autonomy needs “ground truth” and a trusted spatial foundation As GPS becomes less reliable in contested environments, autonomous drone systems increasingly require alternative ways to establish ground truth. The piece argues that GPS-resilient autonomy must be built on a trusted spatial foundation so drones can navigate and execute tasks without relying on unverified positioning signals.
