Summary

The SpaceX S-1 is finally public; CNBC’s Leslie Picker reports on the public’s first look under the SpaceX hood. Ahead of what will likely be the largest IPO ever next month, Elon Musk biographer Walter Isaacson highlights the talent running the company under the billionaire’s leadership. Isaacson also underscores Musk’s ambitions for space, in light of Andrew Ross Sorkin’s interview with Jeff Bezos on the Blue Origin factory floor. Plus, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton discusses President Trump’s deal with the IRS and using AI to cut down on fraud and waste in the public sector.
