Keel Stock Matches Insiders’ $3.41 Cost as 2.2-Gigawatt AI Pipeline Awaits Leases

Tesla Stock: Autopilot Data Scrutiny Tests a $1.2 Trillion Valuation
Tesla Inc. faced a fresh autonomy-data test on Friday. Video published this week showed an unsupervised Austin robotaxi driving through flexible traffic bollards. No one was hurt, and the event alone does not establish a safety defect. It does, however, challenge how investors should read Tesla's broad safety claims.

Investor read-through
The FDA amendment timetable matters more than repeated legal notices.
The lawsuit mirrors the same statistical-analysis dispute that drove the stock collapse. A revised action date would clarify how much regulatory optionality remains.
Downside watch
A new clinical-trial requirement could extend losses and consume the cash buffer. Adverse discovery in the securities case may add cost and disclosure risk. Faster spending would shorten the 5.5-quarter static runway.

The investor test
Volume above the 120.2m-share average without a deeper price break would show that buyers are absorbing the unlock. Renewed selling toward the $104.83 low would put capital spending and execution back in control of the valuation.
Next catalysts and risks
- Catalysts: Starship test timing, insider-sale disclosures and launch-policy implementation.
- Risks: heavier unlock selling, another technical delay and sustained free-cash-flow burn.

Canaan Shares Jump 13% on Trump Crypto Promotion as Treasury Now Accounts for 72% of Valuation
Canaan Inc. ended Thursday at $0.2712, rising 12.95%. The bitcoin-mining hardware producer advanced alongside a broad crypto market surge after Trump called on lawmakers to pass a “fair version” of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. Momentum from the White House provided an additional policy boost to gains already spurred by Treasury bond buybacks and short covering.

Crypto policy meets balance-sheet leverage
Canaan closed 13% higher after President Donald Trump pressed Congress to advance crypto market-structure rules. Its disclosed coin holdings add a second lever: at current spot prices, they equal about 72% of the company’s market value.
