Welcome into StocktwitsTV. Host Michele Steele is joined by Shay Boloor to unpack a wild mix of AI, Musk ecosystem headlines, and fintech winners and losers. First up is Palantir: revenue up, profit up, guidance up, stock up. Shay calls the quarter a credibility moment, pointing to a 2026 guide raised to 61 percent with no deceleration, a commercial engine scaling fast, net dollar retention surging at scale, and an eye-popping operating margin result that he says forces a rethink of how AI application winners get valued. Michele presses on Wall Street skepticism and valuation concerns, and Shay argues that trying to pick a top in Palantir is riskier than respecting the multi-year trend when the company is clearly monetizing AI spend. Next, they pivot to Elon Musk combining SpaceX and xAI into a 1.25 trillion private empire. Shay explains why he sees strategic logic, not a bailout, and why frontier models ultimately become a layer inside broader ecosystems. They also discuss what Tesla shareholders should make of capital flowing into xAI, and why Shay views Tesla as the physical endpoint of intelligence across robotics, autonomy, and energy. Finally, it’s fintech. Shay says PayPal has been misrun, squandered first-mover advantages, and proves why “cheap can always get cheaper,” even suggesting a possible Musk buyback as payment rails for the wider ecosystem. They close on Robinhood: aggressive AI tools, prediction markets growth, the super app narrative, and the key risk that still matters most, crypto exposure, even as the company improves product depth and operating leverage.
