  "account": "Wall Street's futures dipped on Friday due to worries stemming from a significant decline in AI-related stocks and increased competition from SpaceX in the telecom sector. AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile experienced a drop of more than 3% in premarket trading after reports suggested SpaceX was negotiating with cellular infrastructure companies to launch a nationwide wireless carrier program. However, US cell tower operators, Crown Castle and American Tower, saw gains, with their shares rising by 8.5% and 5.6%, respectively.\n\nAI-linked shares experienced a steep decline this week, initially facing pressure over CoreWeave's debt burden and financing costs for AI investments. The situation improved on Wednesday after positive results from SpaceX and Super Micro. Despite the previous gains, the tech-heavy Nasdaq fell nearly 3% on Thursday, while the Nasdaq 100 E-minis remained flat at the time of reporting. The Dow E-minis and S&P 500 E-minis also experienced declines, with the former down 308 points (0.58%) and the latter falling 15.5 points (0.2%).",
