Elon Musk has offered to buy the operating assets of OpenAI for $97.4 billion, in a move that could turn the burgeoning AI industry on its head. Musk is puttin

As Elon Musk digs into the federal bureaucracy in his crusade to slash government spending, he has a tool that no aspiring cost-cutter has had before: his own giant social media platform to debate, shame and bludgeon anyone who stands in his way.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg sought to reassure his workforce that the social media company’s values haven’t changed despite a slew of policy shifts that included ending its diversity and fact-checking programs. In a companywide meeting, Zuckerberg told employees that 2025 would be a “big year for resetting our relationship with governments around the world.” But he specified that Meta would not forsake its values. The message appeared to be an attempt to reassure employees after dramatic ch

AT&T talks a big talk about its fiber broadband ambitions. It’s also putting the pedal to the medal on copper retirement, with a new $850 million deal as the stepping stone. The operator disclosed it signed a sale-leaseback deal of 74 central office (CO) facilities—used to house and connect equipment for copper networks—to real estate developer Reign Capital.

The jarring prominence of tech CEOs at President Donald Trump’s inauguration—positioned, as many noted, in front of Trump’s Cabinet picks—represents a massive sea change in American business and its cultural politics. The tech world’s turn to the right post-election has captivated anyone who watched these companies serve as a GOP punching bag for the past several years. There are plenty of good business reasons for any billionaire to want

As Donald Trump became the 47th president of the United States, there was a jarring contrast hovering over the proceedings—between his populist style, embodied by his flurry of action to save TikTok, and the massive government apparatus of which he took control. The TikTok drama represents the crash of two powerful strains in American public life, a conflict that President Trump has a flair for capitalizing on and even encouraging.

The Supreme Court ruled against TikTok rejecting the company’s First Amendment challenge to a law that effectively bans it starting on January 19. The unanimous decision may deal a death blow to the U.S.

President Joe Biden used his final address from the Oval Office to deliver a somber warning about the threat posed by the “dangerous concentration of power” in the hands of wealthy and well-connected individuals, a thinly veiled reference to billionaire technology executives who have been increasingly signaling their desire to work closely with President-elect Donald Trump. “Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead,” President B
