## Will SpaceX repeat 輝達's growth trajectory? 紅杉資本 partner is bullish on a revenue surge: direct-to-cell to surpass Starlink in 2029

紅杉資本 partner Shaun Maguire published a report bullish on a SpaceX revenue surge, saying that thanks to its talent, AI compute cost and Starship technology advantages, it could repeat 輝達's growth trajectory, and predicting that its direct-to-cell business will surpass Starlink revenue in 2029-2030.

Facts:
- 紅杉資本 partner Shaun Maguire believes SpaceX could repeat 輝達's revenue growth trajectory of the past 3 years over the next 3 years.
- Maguire predicts that SpaceX's direct-to-cell business revenue in 2029 to 2030 will surpass Starlink's existing business.
- The technical difficulty of SpaceX's Starship is considered to exceed that of advanced chip manufacturing, 艾司摩爾 (EUV lithography equipment) and the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER).
- The Starlink satellite constellation currently has annualized revenue of about 20 billion US dollars, and building the related network has used about 400 Falcon 9 launches in total.
- Maguire estimates that even if AI compute costs fall to about 10 billion US dollars per gigawatt, SpaceX could still maintain its advantage through a low-cost operating model.
- A single Starship launch has a payload capacity roughly equal to 20 Falcon 9 launches, so in theory only about 20 Starship launches would be needed to support the revenue of the current Starlink scale.
- Maguire expects that over the next 10 years, SpaceX's degree of vertical integration in chips will gradually reach its current level in rocket technology and manufacturing.

## Dad pays 1 million NT dollars in renovation fees for son; does it count as a gift even without a money transfer? The National Taxation Bureau reveals the key to taxation

The article discusses whether parents funding their children's renovation costs involves gift tax. It notes that even when paying a contractor directly, gratuitously assuming a debt may still be deemed a gift, but the 2026 exemption is 2.44 million NT dollars, so no tax is due if it is not exceeded.

Facts:
- If a father pays 1 million NT dollars in renovation fees for his son without compensation and the property benefit belongs to the son, it may constitute a gift.
- Materials used in renovation work become part of the house after installation, and the property rights are acquired by the house owner.
- If the father advances the renovation fees first and there is a loan agreement and repayment records, it does not constitute a gift.
