Elon Musk addresses memory-chip stock concerns with one simple observation

The article says Elon Musk’s comments on SpaceX’s earnings call reinforced a bullish view on AI memory chips, calling memory the current limiting factor in compute. That helped lift semiconductor-related shares after a weak July and amid ongoing debate over whether AI capex can sustain the chip supercycle. Musk argued memory demand is growing far faster than supply, implying upward pricing pressure rather than oversupply. The piece highlights strong rebounds in key memory and chip names, including SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics, Kioxia, Taiwan Semiconductor and Micron, while noting Nvidia also received a public endorsement from Musk. Separately, SpaceX’s higher capex and burn were viewed negatively for SpaceX shares, but the broader market implication was supportive for memory suppliers and semiconductor stocks tied to AI infrastructure buildout.
