On April 16, Bloomberg reported that a recently disclosed document reveals that Alphabet, Google's parent company, is poised to reap returns in the hundreds of billions from its early investment in SpaceX. According to disclosure documents submitted by SpaceX in Alaska this week, as of the end of 2025, Google holds a 6.11% stake in the company. If SpaceX achieves a valuation of $2 trillion or higher through its IPO, this stake would be worth $122 billion. However, following SpaceX's merger with xAI in February, Google's stake has been diluted, and estimates suggest it is currently around 5%, valued at approximately $100 billion based on a $2 trillion valuation. In this disclosure, only Google and Elon Musk (who holds about 40%) are required to report their holdings, but several other individuals and institutions are also expected to gain billions from the IPO. Google first invested in SpaceX in 2015, participating in a $1 billion funding round alongside Fidelity Investments, collectively acquiring about 10% of the shares.

On April 16, Nick Timiraos, a journalist known as the 'voice of the Federal Reserve' for The Wall Street Journal, reported that Kevin Warsh's path to the Fed chair position took a crucial step forward this week, but it may have also taken two steps back. On the same day the Senate Banking Committee announced the date for his confirmation hearing as the next Fed chair, prosecutors from the office of federal prosecutor Jeanine Pirro attempted to escalate an investigation that could hinder his appointment. Subsequently, in an interview aired on Fox Business on Wednesday morning, Trump vigorously defended the investigation against current chair Jerome Powell, which involves renovations at the Fed's headquarters. This appointment faces obstacles from North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis, who has vowed not to advance any Fed nominees until the Justice Department concludes its investigation. In the interview, Trump dismissed Tillis's stance as a hollow threat from a retiring senator, while also acknowledging that Tillis might not relent, potentially delaying Warsh's confirmation. In this scenario, Trump stated that if Powell chooses to remain at the Fed after his term ends on May 15, he would fire Powell. Powell is eligible to continue serving as a member of the Fed Board until 2028.
