On May 6, per Hyperinsight monitoring, two large addresses in Hyperliquid’s crude oil top holders list recently opened synchronized “long WTI, short Brent” spread positions—betting on U.S. crude outperforming Brent. The two addresses have comparable average entry prices, with a combined position size of $27 million. Amid today’s sharp oil price drop, WTI crude weakened. The two addresses’ 20x-leveraged WTIOIL short positions are near liquidation. A further broad oil price decline (with WTI briefly falling below $90) would put their long positions at risk of liquidation. Conversely, a subsequent oil price rebound would put their short positions at risk—potentially triggering bilateral liquidation on both sides.

Bloomberg reported that Elon Musk’s SpaceX is proposing a $55 billion investment in a new semiconductor production facility in Texas to advance its ambitious “Terafab” project, per monitoring from Singularity Beat (via Telegram @OneMillion_AI). A public notice on the Grimes County website reveals SpaceX plans to build a “next-generation vertically integrated semiconductor manufacturing and advanced computing facility” locally. Total capital investment could climb to $119 billion if all subsequent project phases are completed. Musk first unveiled the “Terafab” concept in March, aiming to produce chips for his robotics, space, and artificial intelligence initiatives. The SpaceX-Tesla joint venture is critical, he said, because the semiconductor industry is growing too slowly to meet chip demand from his projects and the broader tech sector. “Either we build Terafab, or we won’t have chips—and we need chips, so we’re building it,” he stated.
