Launched in November 2025, the project is a research effort by the tech giant to one day bring scaled machine learning to space. In fact, Google is already collaborating with Planet Labs to launch two prototype satellites by around 2027.
While the idea of building solar-powered AI data centers that circle Earth has prompted skepticism from many engineers, it has continued to gain traction, especially with Elon Musk pushing SpaceX to be the first company to pull it off.
It needs mentioning that Google invested in SpaceX in 2015 and now owns a roughly 6% stake in the company. So the aforementioned deal, if it comes to fruition, will be the latest move tying the major companies together.
1. Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)
Number of Billionaire Holders: 55
Topping our list of the Best American Stocks According to Billionaires is Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT). The company is engaged in developing and marketing software, services, and hardware that deliver new opportunities, greater convenience, and enhanced value to people’s lives.
Financial Times reported on May 8 that Sir Christopher Hohn’s hedge fund, TCI, has divested almost all of its $8 billion stake in Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) amid concerns about the negative impact of artificial intelligence on its products.
One of the biggest and best-performing hedge funds in the world, TCI had owned a sizable chunk in the tech giant for much of the past decade, but reduced it from 10% of its portfolio at the end of 2025 to just 1% by the end of March.
Sir Christopher Hohn stated in the fund’s investor letter:
“We reduced our investment in Microsoft because the rapid progress in AI introduces uncertainty over Microsoft’s competitive position in the future. We are primarily concerned about Microsoft’s Office productivity software franchise, where AI could change established workflows and lead to the emergence of new productivity platforms, but we also see some risks in [cloud provider] Azure.”
The move comes despite Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) reporting strong results for its Q3 report on April 29, topping estimates in both revenue and earnings. The company expects the revenue for its Azure and other cloud services business to grow between 39% and 40% in constant currency in the fourth quarter.
While we acknowledge the potential of MSFT to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than MSFT and that has 100x upside potential, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.
