Tesla earned less in the second quarter than a year earlier, even though it sold more electric vehicles and revenue grew. Adjusted profit fell to 33 cents per share, missing Wall Street's expectations. The company's shares fell by roughly three percent in extended trading after the results were released. Die Zeit ↗
The results were weighed down by discounts, higher costs, and rising spending on research, artificial intelligence, robotics, and robotaxis. At the same time, Elon Musk continued to leave open speculation about a possible merger of Tesla with SpaceX. Tesla still earns most of its money from selling cars, while Musk presents its future in autonomous transportation and humanoid robots. Le Figaro ↗
SpaceX is also facing separate pressure from investors. Its shares fell below the offering price after a record stock market debut, and some investors bet against nearly a third of the freely traded shares. However, according to available information, Wall Street still expects significant growth for the company. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
Technical issues surrounding the company's space activities also persist. The separated upper stage of the Falcon 9 rocket, used in January 2025 to launch two lunar probes, is expected by scientists to make an unplanned impact on the Moon on August 5 at 8:35 a.m. Shortly before that, SpaceX scrubbed the 13th test flight of Starship after several engines failed to ignite before launch. Another attempt is expected following a technical inspection and replacement of some engines. Telex ↗
