Alphabet’s Moonshot Lab X Aims High: Spinning Out Futuristic Tech with Fresh Investor Funds

“Google’s Alphabet is shaking up its moonshot lab, X, tossing out staff like yesterday’s tech news and pivoting towards outside-funded spinoffs. Will their heady ideas finally launch or is this mission control saying no-go?” Focus keyphrase: Google’s Alphabet moonshot lab X.

Hot Take:

Google's "moonshot factory" is getting a reality check and realizing that, just maybe, their soaring ambitions need a touch of mundane capitalism to stay afloat. And by mundane, I mean cold, hard investor cash. Buckle up, Astro Teller, it's time to spin those lofty dreams into something investors can swipe right on. Meanwhile, Apple's playing the hero with its new "stolen device" feature because nothing says "I love you" like a tech giant ensuring your ex can't drunk dial from your pilfered iPhone.
