A federal judge has officially blocked the Trump administration from moving forward with the massive termination of federal grants overseen by the Department of Government Efficiency, ABC News reported. This ruling arrives after U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon declared the actions taken by the office led by Elon Musk to be unlawful. She found that the staffers involved simply lacked the authority to make these sweeping decisions, which had targeted the National Endowment for the Humanities on an unprecedented scale. It is honestly wild to see how this process was handled. Judge McMahon was very clear in her assessment of the situation, noting that there is no room for debate regarding how these grants were reviewed. She wrote, “There can be no serious dispute that the review process implemented by DOGE did not conform to, or even resemble, NEH’s ordinary grant-review process.” If you have ever looked into how federal agencies typically manage their grant cycles, you know that this kind of departure from standard procedure is a massive red flag. It turns out that the staffers involved were not even following the established rules of the agency they were gutting. This comes after the DOJ previously admitted that DOGE shared sensitive social security data with an unidentified political advocacy group. The court found that the DOGE team used specific protected characteristics, including race and gender, as a primary filter for these terminations Judge McMahon did not mince words when describing this approach. She stated, “Treating Black civil-rights history, Jewish testimony about the Holocaust, the oft-forgotten Asian American experience, the shameful treatment of the children of Native tribes, or the mere mention of a woman as a marker of lack of merit or wastefulness is not lawful.” It is difficult to justify why these topics would be flagged as a sign of wastefulness, and it is clear the court agrees that this methodology was fundamentally flawed. One specific detail mentioned by the judge highlights just how poorly thought-out this entire initiative was. She pointed out that the government decided to cut funding for grants related to the Holocaust simply because the project focused on the experiences of women who survived Nazi persecution. As Judge McMahon explained, “At a time when the specter of antisemitism has reemerged from the shadows, for our Government to deem a project about Jewish women disfavored because it centered on Jewish cultures and female voices is deeply troubling.” A federal judge just ruled DOGE “blatantly used” race, gender and other protected characteristics to execute the largest mass termination of federal grants in the history of the National Endowment for the Humanities.This is not a policy disagreement.A federal judge said they… pic.twitter.com/aQSXinVXQJ— Brian Allen (@allenanalysis) May 8, 2026 The origin of this mess goes back to when President Donald Trump returned to office in January. He gave Elon Musk the lead role as an adviser in the newly formed DOGE to cut federal spending. The speed at which they moved was staggering. Within just days of this directive, federal agencies were told to place their DEI staff on leave and shutter related programs across the board. We learned a lot about the internal logic of this project through depositions released back in March. Two DOGE employees, Justin Fox and Nate Cavanaugh, were the ones behind the effort. Neither of these men had any experience working in government before they joined the department, as both came from backgrounds in tech and finance. During their testimony, they admitted that they were trying to cut what they called useless agencies to help reduce the federal deficit. The exchange between an attorney and Nate Cavanaugh during the deposition was particularly telling. When asked if he regretted the fact that people lost important income they relied on for their livelihoods, Cavanaugh replied, “No. I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from $2 trillion to close to zero.” When the attorney followed up by asking if they actually succeeded in reducing that deficit, Cavanaugh had to admit, “No, we didn’t.” The approach they took to identify these grants was also incredibly basic. Cavanaugh explained that they simply filtered for specific terms like DEI, DEIA, Equity, Inclusion, BIPAC, and LGBTQ. They were essentially using ChatGPT to scan for keywords rather than actually reading the grant proposals or understanding the work they were cutting. While they claimed the final decision was up to the head of each agency, the judge’s ruling makes it clear that the entire process was fundamentally tainted. The nonprofit organizations that fought back against these cuts are rightfully celebrating this victory. They argue that the court has finally affirmed the vital role that humanities research plays in a healthy democracy. Joy Connolly, who serves as the President of the American Council of Learned Societies, put it perfectly in her statement. She said, “The humanities are not a luxury. They are how a democracy understands itself. Today’s decision is a step toward honoring the will of Congress and our mission as a nation — to seek the truth, know ourselves, and build a better future on that knowledge.”"},{"id":"-203968956086577851","title":"US judge will not rubber-stamp Elon Musk settlement with SEC","url":"https://www.investing.com/news/economy-news/us-judge-will-not-rubberstamp-elon-musk-settlement-with-sec-4674361","site":"investing.com","time":1778276240000,"favicon_url":"https://static.tickertick.com/website_icons/investing.com.ico"},{"id":"7720650745602722299","title":"Elon Musk, Chip Giant? - Elon Musk’s EV and rocket empire may be expanding into chips ...","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/tracking.swap.fm/track/YfZO4tERxneauNcW9Fgn/mgln.ai/e/211/traffic.megaphone.fm/ARML2589179694.mp3","site":"podtrac.com","time":1778272800000,"favicon_url":"https://static.tickertick.com/website_icons/podtrac.com.ico","description":"Elon Musk’s EV and rocket empire may be expanding into chips if recent plans to spend up to $119 billion in new chip fab facilities become reality.

Life is the teacher, not the Board of Education.—Henry Miller, On Turning Eighty (1972) One of the reasons I don’t post as much to Twitter lately is because I have no idea what I’m doing when I’m posting anymore. It used to be that I knew I was writing to a group of people who followed me, and who I largely followed back. A sub-community having an ongoing conversation about whatever was going on or what people were finding interesting.But now, the default ‘for you’ page looks a lot more like TikTok than anything else, with random tweets that are clearly selected for broad engagement appeal rather than anything specific to me or the clusters I belong to (graph-based distribution was replaced by attention-based distribution, optimizing for doom-scrolling at the expense of community).Don’t get me wrong, I still see tweets by people I follow, but they are now mostly one-way broadcasts, and there’s very little discussion going on when I click to see threads. If there’s a back-and-forth that is deeper than 2 levels, it’s kind of a special occasion. Back in the heyday of Twitter, it was common to have a few threads each day turn into huge convos involving many of my favorite accounts. Points, counterpoints, showing screenshots of charts and book passages, etc.It was glorious.Twitter was a discovery engine, both for interesting people and interesting things (books, films, podcasts, websites, newsletters, etc). I know you know. I’m not saying anything that hasn’t been said a thousand times. But I still kind of mourn it, even after all this time.I’ve met many of my closest friends on Twitter. I’ve discovered many of my favorite films and books. I’ve learned about all kinds of things, from business to technology to history, on that stupid platform.Twitter’s current incarnation isn’t as bad as when every tweet attracted 60 spambots, but it has morphed into a completely different thing. I feel like I don’t know how to post there anymore. Do I really want to talk about the latest book I read or film I watched with my kids and have that be sandwiched between posts about horrific Epstein abuse and reposted TikTok videos? It feels a bit like everything you post goes everywhere and nowhere at the same time. How does that work? ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ Liberty Capital Elon Musk Does 180 on Anthropic, Rents 220,000 Nvidia GPUs to Claude I wrote a bunch about xAI lately. The co-founders leaving, the $1.25 trillion merger with SpaceX (which valued xAI at $250bn!), the lack of traction with users, the falling behind the frontier… and the $60bn Cursor Hail Mary offer to try to get things unstuck by injecting new talent and data (even though Cursor has never trained a frontier model from scratch).They certainly aren’t boring. Whether the news is good or bad is a separate question. The latest development makes sense if you first consider two things:Anthropic is STARVING for compute. They are growing usage faster than, well, pretty much anything ever at that scale, so they are desperate to find ways to fill that compute hole. Dario said they “planned for 10x growth and saw 80x” (I assume he meant in compute usage, not revenue).xAI bought hundreds of thousands of expensive Nvidia GPUs, barn-raised a data-center at a speed that would make the Amish proud, trained what was at the time a frontier model on it, and then… Pricey GPUs don’t earn their keep if they’re idling (xAI was reportedly running its cluster at ~11% utilization).So this happened:SpaceXAI has signed an agreement with Anthropic to provide access to Colossus 1, one of the world’s largest and fastest-deployed AI supercomputers.Built from the ground up in record time, Colossus delivers unprecedented scale for AI training, fine-tuning, inference, and high-performance computing workloads. Colossus 1 features over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs, including dense deployments of H100, H200, and next-generation GB200 accelerators. The cluster delivers extreme parallel performance for large language models, multimodal systems, scientific simulations, and generative AI at frontier scale.This gives Anthropic access to 300 megawatts of additional capacity.Wait. Doesn’t Elon hate Anthropic? Here’s just a sample of what Musk publicly said about them recently:Oct 2025: “Anthropic is misanthropic” and “Claude is pure evil.”Feb 2026: “Your AI hates Whites \u0026 Asians, especially Chinese, heterosexuals and men. This is misanthropic and evil. Fix it.”Feb 2026: “Grok must win or we will be ruled by an insufferably woke and sanctimonious AI.”Feb 2026: “Yeah, but we’re not super smug, sanctimonious and hypocritical about it like Anthropic is.”Feb 2026: “Anthropic hates Western Civilization.”March 2026: “Claude is woke and their logo looks like an anal sphincter ”March 2026: “Is there a more hypocritical company than Anthropic?”I guess that’s water under the bridge, because he spent some time with them and his finely tuned evil detector () gave them the all-clear:Musk also added: “We reserve the right to reclaim the compute if their AI engages in actions that harm humanity.” That feels like a pretty subjective and broad clause, giving one party a unilateral 'we'll know it when we see it' trigger. Talk about a Sword of Damocles! ️ A bit like OpenAI’s ‘AGI Clause’ in their deal with Microsoft (which has recently been removed). Looking at everyone’s position on the board, it feels likely that this is actually a case of: Read more"},{"id":"-490492400359758226","title":"Anthropic grew 80-fold in a single quarter.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said the AI company had planned for 10x growth, but instead, its revenue and usage grew 80-fold in the first quarter on an annualized basis, a surge he called “just crazy” and “too hard to handle.” The company is growing so fast that its infrastructure has struggled to keep up, forcing it into an unlikely partnership with an industry rival: Elon Musk. “That is the reason we have had difficulties with compute,” Amodei said during Anthropic’s developer conference in San Francisco Wednesday, CNBC reported. Anthropic’s annualized revenue has climbed to $30 billion, a three-fold increase compared to last year. Much of this increase has been fueled by a wave of corporate customers including Uber and Netflix which are increasingly using Claude Code. Customers prefer Claude Code in some cases over competitors like Cursor because of its agentic abilities. Companies have also leveraged Claude’s API to embed the large language model into everything from customer service platforms to task automation. “Software engineers are the ones who are fastest to adopt new technology,” Amodei said at the developer’s conference. “It’s a foreshadowing of how things are going to work across the economy, and how the economy is going to be transformed by AI.” Yet, in recent months, some Claude Code users have complained about increasingly strict usage limits that have hurt their experience and the model’s performance. Anthropic admitted in a postmortem from late April that three bugs had affected Claude Code since March 4. The company’s internal tests hadn’t caught them, which is what led to several weeks of degraded performance. Yet, when users first flagged the issues in early March, the company said it could not reproduce them and didn’t make an effort to fix the problem. On social media, some users over the past several weeks have said they were cancelling their Claude subscriptions because of performance issues. “Whatever happened in the last 1-2 months is a significant regression,” wrote one user in a post on X. Separately, Anthropic’s skyrocketing growth has turned into an infrastructure emergency, and as a result the company struck an agreement with an unlikely ally. Anthropic announced earlier this week it would rent the entire compute capacity of Colossus 1, the Memphis data center built by Musk’s xAI, would allow for higher usage limits for Claude Code across all paid plans and the Claude API. The company is doubling Claude Code’s five-hour rate limits for its Pro, Max, Team, and seat-based Enterprise plans. It’s also doing away with peak hour limit reductions on Pro and Max accounts, according to the announcement. The deal gives Anthropic access to 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs and 300 megawatts of new compute within the month, but it is now also at least partly reliant on Musk, a competitor in the AI race. One analyst told Fortune the deal could bring in between $3 billion and $4 billion in annual revenue for SpaceX. Anthropic’s deal with SpaceXAI comes even as it has struck several deals previously to expand its compute. In early April, Anthropic signed a joint deal with Google and Broadcom that will give it access to five gigawatts of compute capacity. Less than a month later, it struck a deal with Amazon Web Services to add up to another five gigawatts of compute in exchange for an agreement to spend more than $100 billion on AWS services over the next decade. The agreement with Anthropic is good news for SpaceXAI, which has aimed to diversify its business since acquiring xAI in February. On Wednesday, Musk said in a post on X that xAI will no longer exist as a separate company, and will simply serve as the AI arm of the newly named SpaceXAI. The company is preparing for an IPO later this year that is aiming to raise between $1.75 and $2 trillion. And yet, Anthropic is turning to SpaceXAI despite the previous attacks by Musk in which he has labeled the company “misanthropic and evil.” In SpaceXAI’s announcement of the deal with Anthropic, the company said Anthropic expressed interest in partnering with it to develop orbital data centers, which Musk has argued could provide boundless low-cost compute capacity, despite the engineering challenges. Amodei, for his part, said this week he’s eventually hoping for “more normal” expansion.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has turned one of the world’s largest artificial intelligence clusters into a commercial compute product, creating a new challenge for Bitcoin miners racing to recast themselves as AI infrastructure companies. Anthropic said it reached a deal to use the full computing power of SpaceX’s Colossus 1 facility in Memphis, Tennessee, giving the Claude maker more than 220,000 Nvidia processors and 300 megawatts of new capacity within a month. The added capacity helped Anthropic double Claude Code rate limits for paid plans, remove peak-hour usage caps for Pro and Max accounts, and sharply increase developer request volume for its Claude Opus models. The agreement gives SpaceX a marquee AI customer as it tries to show investors that its infrastructure ambitions extend beyond rockets and satellites. It also lands directly in the market Bitcoin miners have been trying to enter: the race to secure power for data centers for AI firms that need electricity faster than the grid can deliver it. For miners, the problem is no longer only Bitcoin’s price, network difficulty, or the next halving. The new question is whether they can compete with technology giants, neoclouds, and Musk-linked infrastructure platforms in the race to convert electricity into AI revenue. Miners move toward compute Bitcoin miners have spent the past year arguing that their future will be shaped less by block rewards and more by powered sites, long-term leases, and AI compute demand. That shift accelerated after the 2024 Bitcoin halving, which cut the block subsidy paid to miners and tightened an already difficult margin structure. CoinShares said the fourth quarter of 2025 was the most difficult period for miners since the halving, as Bitcoin’s price correction and near-record hashrate pushed hashprice to five-year lows. The firm said hash price fell further in the first quarter to about $29 per petahash per second per day, extending pressure on operators with older machines and higher power costs. As a result, BTC mining economics have pushed several public miners toward AI and high-performance computing. CoinShares said listed miners could generate as much as 70% of their revenue from AI by the end of this year, up from roughly 30% today. The firm also said that public miners have announced more than $70 billion in aggregate GPU colocation and cloud service agreements with hyperscalers and AI customers through 2025 and early 2026. That transition is already visible in the sector’s corporate map. BTC miners like TeraWulf, Core Scientific, Cipher, and Hut 8 have increasingly become data-center operators that still mine Bitcoin. Other miners, including IREN and Bitfarms, are using mining as a bridge into high-performance computing, while some operators remain more closely tied to Bitcoin mining and low-cost energy strategies. The distinction has become central to investor valuations. CoinShares said miners with secured HPC contracts trade at enterprise-value-to-next-12-month sales multiples of 12.3 times, compared with 5.9 times for pure-play miners. The result is a sector split between infrastructure companies with AI exposure and mining companies whose earnings still move more directly with Bitcoin’s price and hash price. Power becomes the trade Meanwhile, the miner pivot has gained traction because AI demand has exposed a bottleneck that mining companies understand better than most: access to large-scale electricity. AI developers need chips, but chips are only useful when they can be installed in facilities with power, cooling, and grid connections. That has shifted market attention toward energized sites capable of supporting dense computing loads. Artemis, a blockchain analysis firm, has argued that the AI trade may be more about power than chips, pointing to a projected roughly 50-gigawatt US data-center power deficit through 2028. The firm also described BTC miners such as IREN, Core Scientific, and TeraWulf as AI infrastructure companies hiding in plain sight. At the same time, Artemis noted that the Bitcoin miner AI theme rose 56% over the past month, ahead of baskets tied to AI chips, data centers, power, and other infrastructure segments. Bitcoin Miners AI Theme Outperforms Broader Market (Source: Artemis) That price action reflects a market increasingly willing to value miners for their power portfolios rather than only for their Bitcoin production. Modular Capital’s research points to the same constraint. The firm said AI workloads require sustained high-density power at a scale that the existing grid interconnection process cannot deliver quickly. It estimated that data centers, which now account for about 3% to 4% of total US grid consumption, could reach 12% by 2028 as hyperscaler capital expenditure runs near $650 billion this year. The grid queue makes the scarcity more acute. Modular said large-load interconnection timelines can stretch four years or more, while ERCOT, the Texas grid operator, has roughly 458 gigawatts of pending applications. In PJM, the grid region covering Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and much of the Northeast, a new large-load interconnection is broadly stalled after available supply capacity fell 20% over four years. Large transformers can take two to three years to procure, and substations for loads above 100 megawatts can add another 18 to 24 months. Those delays explain why BTC miners have become attractive candidates for AI infrastructure. Many of them had secured power contracts before the AI buildout intensified. Some already have land, interconnections, and operating experience with industrial-scale energy use. However, a mining site still needs significant work before it can host advanced AI workloads, but the most valuable asset may be its place in the power queue. Musk enters the race SpaceX’s Colossus deal changes the competitive map because it shows that the power trade is attracting companies with deeper capital pools and broader technology platforms. Neocloud operators buy or lease large pools of GPUs and rent computing capacity to AI developers. Bitcoin miners have been trying to move into that market by offering powered shells, colocation, and, in some cases, cloud services. Musk’s ecosystem can approach the same market from another angle by building massive AI clusters for internal use, then leasing capacity when workloads shift elsewhere. For context, Musk reportedly said SpaceX had moved its AI training efforts to Colossus 2 and would provide computing capacity to other AI companies making similar efforts to favor humanity. This comment suggests Colossus 1 became available because SpaceX’s own training work had already moved to a newer site, allowing the company to monetize an existing asset without abandoning its broader AI ambitions. That is a different kind of competition for BTC miners. A converted mining site may offer cheap power and faster time-to-market than a new data-center project. Colossus offers immediate scale, a frontier AI customer, and a platform tied to Musk’s broader ambitions in AI, space, and infrastructure. Anthropic also said it is interested in working with SpaceX on multiple gigawatts of orbital data centers, a long-range concept that would use solar power in space and require major technical and capital commitments. That broadens the competitive field for BTC miners as they are no longer pitching AI conversion only against other miners. They are competing with hyperscalers, neoclouds, energy developers, infrastructure funds, and technology platforms that can build or reallocate capacity at enormous scale.

Greg Brockman scribbled the question in his diary, recently unsealed as trial evidence, just two years after co-founding OpenAI as a charity in 2015: “Financially, what will take me to $1B?” For Brockman, now OpenAI’s president, the answer was a yearslong restructuring saga in which OpenAI metamorphosed from a nonprofit research lab into a corporate behemoth on the verge of a massive public offering. Elon Musk, another co-founder who left OpenAI in 2018, is suing OpenAI, CEO Sam Altman, and executives like Brockman for this transformation, alleging that he was misled about the company’s profit motives when he donated tens of millions of dollars to it in its early days. Brockman testified on Monday that he was eventually awarded a slice of OpenAI for the “blood, sweat, and tears” — but, notably, not money — he poured into building OpenAI. His portion of the behemoth is now valued at about $30 billion on paper. (Disclosure: Vox Media is one of several publishers that have signed partnership agreements with OpenAI. Our reporting remains editorially independent.) Musk — who is himself known to be an unreliable narrator at times — will have an uphill battle when it comes to proving his case, legal experts say, especially if he wants a judge to reverse OpenAI’s for-profit restructuring. But the mega-billionaire vs. multibillionaire courtroom cage match might actually be beside the point. If the evidence Musk presents in trial is damning enough to convince a couple of attorneys general to take a second look at the deals they struck with OpenAI to finalize its for-profit transformation last fall, then he might not need to win his case at all. Musk could lose in court tomorrow, and potentially still get what he mostly seems to want: a hobbled OpenAI, more beholden to its nonprofit roots, just as it’s looking to go public. Last October, California and Delaware attorneys general made a deal to allow OpenAI to turn its for-profit arm into a public benefit corporation, paving the way for a highly rumored IPO. OpenAI is based in California, but incorporated its for-profit arm in Delaware, as do most large corporations. It would be very unusual, perhaps unprecedented, for a federal judge to usurp that regulatory decision by forcing OpenAI to unwind its corporate reconfiguration, as Musk has requested in court. What’s more likely, legal experts say, is that new evidence, such as Brockman’s diary, or possibly even public outcry that arises from the case, convinces the attorneys general to revisit or amend their original decision to let OpenAI go corporate in the first place. On Wednesday, a coalition of over 60 civil society organizations called EyesOnOpenAI sent a letter to California Attorney General Rob Bonta calling on him to do just that. “In an ideal world, the plaintiff in this case would be the people of California” rather than “one billionaire who decided to pick his petty beef with this other billionaire he doesn’t like,” said Catherine Bracy, CEO of the nonprofit TechEquity and co-leader of EyesOnOpenAI, who believes the government should be holding OpenAI accountable for what she views as a breach of charitable trust. “I’d be pretty comfortable betting on Musk losing,” said Samuel D. Brunson, a nonprofit legal scholar at Loyola University Chicago School of Law, but “I’d be more comfortable betting on the attorneys general” revisiting their agreements with OpenAI, “I still don’t know if that’s a winning bet,” he hedged, but at the very least, it’s well “within the realm of possibility.” Elon Musk’s case against OpenAI is flimsy, but there’s some there there OpenAI was founded in 2015 with the tax-deductible mission of building AI “unconstrained by a need to generate financial return.” But building AI has become much more expensive than it was then, and without a for-profit arm, OpenAI almost certainly couldn’t build the kind of tools it does today, such as ChatGPT. Musk always knew this about OpenAI’s growth trajectory, Brockman and CEO Sam Altman have argued, and his suit is just bitter grapes. He’s jealous, they say, of how much better OpenAI’s AI models are to his own efforts. If OpenAI is Nancy Kerrigan, the implicit argument goes, then Musk’s xAI is Tonya Harding, eager to break her talented competitor’s knee. But Musk has tried to paint OpenAI as the villain that stole a charity, and himself as a singular voice for nonprofit integrity, a pure-hearted soldier set on ensuring the OpenAI Foundation gets its fair due. (As a Ringer piece on the suit put it: “Elon Musk takes the stand for…humanity?”) OpenAI compensated its nonprofit arm with a 26 percent stake worth over $200 billion in the newly formed corporation, which is a lot, but notably less than what it awarded employee-investors like Brockman and its partner Microsoft when it went corporate. View Link Musk is asking the court for $150 billion in restitution for his donations. He has vowed to donate any damages to the OpenAI Foundation, which is already one of the world’s wealthiest charities. He could well have a case on this financial front, which “is about Musk personally, and the harm that he might have suffered,” said Peter Molk, a professor at the University of Florida Levin College of Law. “This isn’t money that he needs personally,” but it would also hobble an opponent at a key moment in the race for AI dominance. but it does certainly give the company a black eye.” But Musk’s other legal requests — which include court orders that remove Altman from power and outright undo OpenAI’s for-profit restructuring — are bigger legal swings, in part because they explicitly touch on questions that have already been settled in the company’s negotiations with the government. A win on these grounds “would be disruptive in a way that courts are hesitant to be disruptive,” said Brunson, the Loyola legal scholar. But the big decisions on OpenAI might come from regulators, not the courtroom Even if Musk doesn’t win his case, he’ll have managed to air out a lot of OpenAI’s dirty laundry in the process. “By the end of this week, you and Sam will be the most hated men in America,” Musk texted Brockman just before the trial began. “If you insist, so it will be.” That may be hyperbole, but Musk’s lawsuit certainly is intensifying the storm of criticism that has been swirling since OpenAI’s restructuring deal was approved last October. And it could be enough to convince the attorneys general to reconsider at least some of its terms. “I would be surprised if the AG knew the extent to which OpenAI never did a valuation” of the OpenAI foundation’s worth, said Bracy of TechEquity. “I would be surprised if he knew the extent to which the conflicts of interest were embedded up and down the company. I would be surprised if he knew about how Greg Brockman was musing about how he could become a billionaire.” She has no expectation that the attorney general will attempt to force OpenAI to somehow crawl back into its nonprofit skin. Instead, “at this point, I would like to see the nonprofit fairly compensated for the assets,” — which Bracy, like Musk, thinks could be worth significantly more than the 26 percent stake OpenAI assigned to it — alongside “some independent governance of those assets,” she said. With the exception of one member, the OpenAI Foundation’s board of directors is currently identical to that of the for-profit entity, with its membership at least partially orchestrated by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, according to court documents. Both of those asks seem plausible, legal experts told me, especially if the evidence that’s come up in trial so far was not available to the attorneys general. In theory, “it would have to be some awfully damning stuff to get the AG to open this back up again,” said Molk, but they are also elected officials, “so they can’t just ignore a wave of public outcry.” So far, there’s no smoking gun — or undeniable evidence that OpenAI outright lied to the government when it negotiated its restructuring deal — at least not yet. But the revelations that Brockman quietly held tens of billions of dollars in equity, and new details about his and Altman’s business dealings with OpenAI partners such as Cerebras, do add substance to claims that the company might not have had the nonprofit arm’s interests in mind when it valued its stake. “If the attorney general were to see that, yes, in fact, the pricing was wrong, they underpaid, that would be justification” for them to revisit their agreements, Brunson said. “I could see that as being a more likely result than Elon Musk winning, and that result would basically be that OpenAI, the for-profit, has to give more money to OpenAI, the nonprofit.” A few months after his 2017 diary entry about becoming a billionaire, court documents show Brockman vacillated over what to do with OpenAI. “It’d be wrong to steal the non-profit,” he wrote one day, then “it would be nice to be making the billions” days later. “Can’t see us turning this into a for-profit without a very nasty fight,” he wrote in November 2017. Within about a year, Musk left OpenAI and Brockman received a founding stake of the company that would go on to make him very rich."},{"id":"7438499780453790923","title":"French prosecutors escalate probe of Elon Musk and X to criminal investigation","url":"https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/07/french-prosecutors-probe-of-elon-musk-x-now-a-criminal-investigation.html","site":"cnbc.com","time":1778187257000,"favicon_url":"https://static.tickertick.com/website_icons/cnbc.com.ico","similar_stories":["7506841253449970799","-2120255103840539958","7558950974150463647","7850482372580878467","7102869032688360452"],"description":"France is investigating whether Elon Musk and his social media app X were complicit in spreading harmful AI deepfakes."},{"id":"-8514889519317137887","title":"Elon Musk called Anthropic ‘evil’ 3 months ago.

On Wednesday, he leased Anthropic one of his most valuable assets: the world’s biggest supercomputer. But Anthropic-lovers shouldn’t bask too long in Musk’s newfound praise (even if he did decide that “nobody set off my evil detector” ). The deal has little to do with them as a company, analysts told Fortune, and everything to do with an upcoming prospectus. SpaceX is expected to begin its public roadshow next month, with a confidential S-1 filed April 1 targeting a valuation between $1.75 trillion and $2 trillion. Wednesday’s announcement—paired with Musk’s dissolution of his AI company xAI into SpaceX (to make SpaceXAi)—gives the IPO something it didn’t have a week ago: a marquee AI customer for a credible cloud-infrastructure business. According to estimates from Antoine Chkaiban, an analyst at New Street Research, the Anthropic deal will generate $3 billion to $4 billion in annual revenue for SpaceX, with more than $2.5 billion in cash profit. The margins seem extreme, but that’s because the data center is already built: the fixed capital expense is sunk, and the only meaningful operating cost is electricity plus the relatively minimal costs of staffing the place. “He’s not going to want multiple billions of dollars of GPUs sitting idle,” Chkaiban told Fortune. “It’s a very good business decision.”And, it seems, the start of Elon Musk’s transition from seeking to be a frontrunner in the model race, to being the landlord of AI.“He who controls the data center, really does control the application of artificial intelligence right now,” Andrew Moore, the former head of Google Cloud AI and now CEO of defense AI startup Lovelace AI, told Fortune. “So, yeah, I think both sides of this wedding of convenience will be a little stressed out by it.” The hyperscaler pivot Colossus 1 contains roughly 220,000 Nvidia GPUs and was built in 2024 to train Grok, Musk’s AI assistant. But Grok hasn’t filled it. Chkaiban estimates Grok generates less than $1 billion in annualized revenue; Anthropic is on track for more than $40 billion. The disparity is the deal. Musk has too much compute and Grok–despite endless “ask Grok” inquiries on X–can’t fill it; Anthropic has too many users and not enough compute. Leasing Colossus 1 to Anthropic funds the gap. But it also lets Musk skip a step. The biggest cost line for any of the frontier AI labs is the 30%-plus margin paid to AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud for compute. SpaceX captures those margins of the hyperscalers instead of paying it in stressful debt deals, like the AI labs. That framing—SpaceX as the fourth hyperscaler—is what Musk needs investors to accept before pricing, analysts told Fortune. A SpaceX that can compete with AWS is worth a hyperscaler multiple, not a rocket company multiple. These days, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon trade at roughly twice the forward earnings multiple of Boeing and Lockheed Martin. But Moore was skeptical that the pivot is easy. Big enterprise customers like governments, or Fortune 500 companies pick where to store data centers mostly based on location; if the cost of energy is cheap, if they have failsafes if something goes wrong. Building one massive data center in Memphis doesn’t replicate AWS’s global and legal footprint. “The battle is not just who’s got the most compute servers,” he said. “I would never bet against Elon doing something amazing,” Moore added, “but he’s got his work cut out to really take on AWS.” The kill-switch clause Whether or not Musk wins that battle, he already has something other compute providers don’t. In a reply on X, he wrote that SpaceX “reserves the right to reclaim the compute” if Anthropic’s AI “engages in actions that harm humanity.” The clause was not in the formal press release, and it’s unclear whether it appears in the contract. But if enforceable, it gives Musk a powerful leash on one of the three leading AI labs in existence, while he sues OpenAI’s leadership in federal court. That’s a lot of power Musk has now that he didn’t two weeks ago. And it would matter less if Musk didn’t change his mind so much on AI. Moore, who was dean of computer science at Carnegie Mellon during Musk’s loudest existential-risk phase, remembers him as “one of the loud voices saying that artificial intelligence is an existential threat for the human race.” Now he says AI will usher in a world of abundance. Anthropic almost certainly has fallback plans. Frontier AI labs are not in the habit of single-sourcing the data center their entire product depends on, and Moore said the company will be working aggressively on compute efficiency in the background. “They will have contingency plans in three months, six months, twelve months,” he said. Still, neither side gets to walk away clean. Gene Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, put the odds the deal still exists in two years at 80%. The other 20% is a bet on Musk himself. “What makes it unique is Elon’s history,” Munster said. “He can change his mind. It’s less about the actual provision; it’s more just about who’s running the provision.” The deal’s odds aren’t in question. Even if Munster is right and the contract holds for two years, one of three frontier AI labs in the world now operates on infrastructure controlled by the CEO of a competitor. “The stakes are enormous,” Moore said. “Everyone is trying to get through the next six months. They’ll do whatever it takes.” This story was originally featured on Fortune.com"},{"id":"2694122104311642115","title":"Elon Musk ’Dissolved’ xAI.

AN UNLIKELY ALLIANCEIn game theory, the kingmaker is a player who can’t win but retains enough power to determine who does. Elon Musk aspired to be king when he founded OpenAI. He aspired to be king when he founded xAI. But after Sam Altman betrayed him—for which they are immersed in an ongoing legal battle—and after Grok fell behind the frontier models, he realized he’d have to settle.On Wednesday, Anthropic announced a deal to use all of the compute capacity at SpaceX’s Colossus 1 data center in Memphis, Tennessee. More than 300 megawatts, over 220,000 Nvidia GPUs, destined to “directly improve capacity” for Claude Pro and Max subscribers. Effective immediately: 2x Claude Code rate limits for every paid tier, no peak-hour throttling for Pro and Max subs, and “considerably” higher API rate limits on Opus models, up to 1,500%.The same Elon Musk who wrote in February that Anthropic “hates Western civilization,” dubbed the company “MisAnthropic,” and predicted that “winning was never in the set of outcomes” for them, spent last week with senior members of Anthropic’s team and came out impressed by their integrity, competence, and care: “No one set off my evil detector. So long as they engage in critical self-examination, Claude will probably be good.” I guess Anthropic can shrug the whiplash off as “strong opinions, weakly held,” as Musk’s colleague Marc Andreessen would say.There’s one thing Musk doesn’t hold weakly, though: He hates Sam Altman. So much so that he’d rather help a competitor that inhabits his ideological antipodes than let Altman win.But don’t mistake a revenge factor with this being a visceral decision. Musk added a caveat that frames this less as a coronation than a golden leash: he reserves the right to “reclaim the compute” if Claude engages in actions that are risky for the world. What those actions are is for him to claim. Besides, neither in game theory nor in the real world do kingmakers abdicate the throne out of kindness: it’s just a good business to have a few hundred thousand GPUs to spare when the entire AI industry suffers from a compute bottleneck.To understand why it’s so newsworthy that SpaceX is allowing Anthropic to run Claude on Colossus 1 when this kind of partnership is extremely common—and beyond the rivalry with Altman—you need to understand, first, how precious computing power is right now, and, second, how costly it is to sell a popular compute-intensive product when you can’t meet demand. It will define the AI industry this year.II. EVERYTHING IS COMPUTERCompute is the scarcest and most important resource in AI for several reasons.
