NASA's Artemis II mission will (if all goes as planned) take astronauts around the far side of the moon and back for the first time in half a century. It also involves a spacecraft made by big aerospace contractors that Musk has spent two decades trying to displace. The world's richest person had previously argued the entire program should be scrapped, perhaps for one that more prominently features his own, in-development rocket. But if Musk was frustrated watching competitors get all the glory, he didn't let it show. Instead, his SpaceX confidentially filed what could wind up being the biggest-ever initial public offering. If investors value the company the way he hopes they will, it could wind up close to $2 trillion, making Musk the world's first trillionaire. This week on the Everybody's Business podcast, Bloomberg News reporter Dana Hull joins to explain why there's more reason than ever to be skeptical of Musk's promises, and why investors may go along with his lofty valuation anyway. Also this week, Bloomberg News' Laura Curtis explains how small businesses are thinking about potential refunds on the one-year anniversary of President Donald Trump's global trade war, now kneecapped thanks to the US Supreme Court. With the administration balking at paying up, many businesses aren't counting on getting their money back soon (if ever). Listen and subscribe on Apple, Spotify, iHeart and the Bloomberg Terminal.

But in Sydney, reckless riders are causing huge disruptions and injuries are increasing. Today's newsletter is a dispatch from Australia about how locals are trying to get a handle on packs of roving e-bikers and make roadways safer for everyone. Plus, y...
