Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: SPCX) was the subject of a news article discussing the future of artificial intelligence and its impact on society and technology companies. The report highlighted contrasting views from tech figures regarding the capabilities and risks of AI.
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak expressed concern that AI chatbots could replace humans by fostering such strong emotional attachments that users stop having children. He described this as his “unique perspective” on how the technology might displace human roles.
Conversely, Gene Munster, a managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, offered a more optimistic outlook. He predicted that personalized AI bots will “blow the everyday tech user away” within the next year. Munster stated that this development is positive for Space Exploration Technologies Corp., Apple, Meta Platforms Inc., and Cognition AI, Inc.
Munster noted that his firm has tested various chatbots, including Siri, Grok, Meta’s Muse, Poke, and Alphabet’s Gemini Spark. He reported that the usefulness of these tools has increased significantly for tasks such as catching up on news and filtering spam. Specifically, Meta’s Muse, which launched on September 8, reached the top of the U.S. iOS free-app chart and surpassed 2.5 million downloads within two weeks.
The article also cited market data regarding Apple's Siri. According to Bank of America analyst Wamsi Mohan, Apple’s rebuilt Siri, shipped with iOS 27, lags behind Meta’s Muse in terms of agentic capabilities.
On the safety front, the report mentioned that OpenAI canceled the release of its GPT-6.1 Astra model due to internal safety standards. Additionally, OpenAI partnered with Anthropic to integrate Claude’s cloud-managed agents into a new platform designed to prevent AI agents from breaching containment.
Regarding the company itself, SpaceX shares closed at $149.24 on Tuesday, representing a gain of 2.59%. The stock also saw an increase of 2.84% during extended trading.
