First a note from InvestorPlace 

Editor’s Note: Our friend Louis Navellier is a regular guest at Mar-a-Lago, President Trump’s private residence in Palm Beach Florida. He’s also one of America’s top tech investors, managing a $1.1 billion portfolio – including $358 million in AI stocks. (He recommended Nvidia to his followers before it soared 44,000%.) In addition, he predicted the Dot-Com crash. He called Google’s rise. And now he has a shocking warning about the SpaceX IPO that all Americans deserve to hear. See below for details.

---

SpaceX went from a $1.75 trillion IPO – the biggest in history…

To a $2.5 trillion valuation just days later.

Elon became the world’s first paper trillionaire.

But Elon’s dreams of dominating space and AI could soon come crashing down.

And the SpaceX hype train continues, despite some choppy performance in the stock.

But I’m writing to you with an urgent warning.

Do not invest a DIME in SpaceX until you’ve heard what’s coming.

Because Donald Trump has signed Executive Order (#14363).

Not only could it render SpaceX’s AI technology obsolete…

It could trigger a $100 trillion “reset” of the AI markets in America.

And it could “roll back” all the stock’s early gains in the process.

How could Trump’s executive order end Elon’s dreams of AI dominance?

How could it send shares of one obscure AI stock soaring?

And how could you turn this into a massive opportunity, starting now?

Simply click here for my brand-new presentation revealing all the details.

I even reveal the name and ticker of one company poised to profit, for free.

Fair warning: This information is very time sensitive.

I could take it down at any time.

So please don’t delay.

Inform yourself now, before you invest a dime in SpaceX.

P.S. I consider this the biggest prediction in my 40-year career. Trump’s executive order could send shockwaves throughout the AI economy. As you’ll see, he’s building a new AI technology 283 trillion times more powerful than Elon’s. It may sound crazy. But it’s 100% true. And understanding exactly what’s coming could save you a lot of money in 2026… while getting you in early on the biggest AI revolution ever.

FEATURED

The number everyone is talking about is €4.1 billion. That’s the wrong number to focus on.

On July 2, 2026, Europe’s highest court permanently confirmed the antitrust penalty against Google, dismissing Alphabet’s final appeal. No more challenges. No more procedural delay. The case that started with a European Commission ruling in 2018 — originally set at €4.34 billion before the General Court trimmed it slightly to €4.125 billion — is now closed law. What that closure activates is the part worth understanding.

GOOGL closed down about 1% on the news. The market basically shrugged.

That reaction is probably wrong. Not because the fine itself does damage — for a company that posted $402.8 billion in full-year 2025 revenue, €4.1 billion is a rounding error — but because of the legal machinery the ruling just switched on. The EU Antitrust Damages Directive now gives any company that suffered provable losses from Google’s conduct a cleaner path to civil claims across 13 European nations. Think about who that includes. Travel comparison companies whose products were buried in Google Search results. Shopping aggregators. Mapping platforms. Hotel search engines. Every one of them now has a stronger legal position than they had 72 hours ago, and the aggregate exposure from those follow-on suits has no ceiling written into the statute.

But the follow-on suits are actually still the secondary story. Here’s the thing — the Digital Markets Act is the mechanism that has real teeth right now.

The European Commission has binding orders due on July 27, 2026. Two tracks. One requires Google to open up system-level Android access currently reserved for Gemini to competing AI services. The other requires Google to share anonymized search ranking and query data with rival search engines on fair terms. These aren’t proposals or consultations. They’re legally required decisions with a hard deadline. And non-compliance doesn’t trigger a one-time fine — it triggers fines of up to 10% of global annual revenue. On Alphabet’s FY2025 numbers, that ceiling sits at roughly $40 billion.

Worth noting: the DMA operates nothing like the old competition law framework. The previous antitrust cases took eight, nine, ten years to resolve through appeals. The DMA is real-time conduct regulation. It does not wait for courts.

Slight tangent, but it matters: investors have spent years treating European regulatory actions against Google as background noise. A fine here, an appeal there, something that eventually gets settled and mostly forgotten. The problem with that mental model is that the structure of the regulatory environment has genuinely shifted. The Commission has moved away from decade-long litigation and toward ongoing conduct obligations on designated gatekeepers. That applies to Apple and Meta too. Apple was fined €500 million under the DMA in April 2025 — what was at that point a record. Meta was fined €200 million in the same month. The Google ruling on July 2 tells Brussels that its enforcement posture is working. That is not a signal regulators typically ignore.

On top of the July 27 compliance deadline, there’s a separate DMA penalty expected before August for search self-preferencing — reportedly the largest fine ever issued under the Digital Markets Act. The Commission’s own investigation here covers Google pushing its vertical services (Flights, Shopping, Maps) above competing alternatives in search results. That’s not a legacy behavior. That’s how Google Search makes money today.

And then there’s Gemini.

The DMA enforcement action extends to the role of Google’s Gemini model in AI Overviews. Gemini and AI Overviews are the two things Alphabet has staked its next five years on. Both are now inside an active regulatory enforcement action with real financial consequences attached. The market has not seriously modeled what it means if the Commission determines that Gemini’s integration into Google Search constitutes preferencing under the DMA.

GOOGL closed at $359.91 on July 2 — down about 1% on the day and sitting roughly 11% below its all-time closing high of $402.38 from May 13, 2026. The price action reads like a known risk being checked off. That framing has a short shelf life if the Commission lands the DMA search fine in the same week as Q2 earnings on July 29. Three headlines in seven days. Options positioning around that window looks thin relative to the actual event risk stacking up.

For traders watching near-term structure: the $345-$370 zone is worth tracking into the July 27 deadline. For longer-duration holders, the harder question is whether the European business segment is being valued correctly inside a company that still commands a market cap above $4.3 trillion. The 1% move on Wednesday suggests the market thinks it is. There’s a reasonable argument that it isn’t — and that the gap between current pricing and a properly risk-adjusted valuation is wider than the price action implied.

One more thing on the political layer, because it adds a variable that doesn’t show up in the legal filings: a new DMA penalty against a flagship American tech company lands in a complicated moment for EU-US trade relations. Whether Washington pushes back — and how — is an open question. It probably doesn’t change what Brussels does. But it changes the noise level around it.

The ruling on July 2 was eight years in the making. What happens between now and July 29 will matter a lot more.
