Elon Musk Swipes Back at Trump After Apparent Peace Offering

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-07-26 23:20:05

Yesterday, President Trump seemed to offer an olive branch to his former “first buddy,” Elon Musk, amidst their ongoing spat. In a post made to Truth Social, Trump claimed that he didn’t wish any harm on Elon or his businesses. “Everyone is stating that I will destroy Elon’s companies by taking away some, if not all, of the large-scale subsidies he receives from the U.S. Government. This is not so! I want Elon, and all businesses within our Country, to THRIVE, in fact, THRIVE like never before!”

The Federal Communications Commission has approved Skydance's $8 billion acquisition of Paramount, which owns CBS. But the agency's approval drew fiery dissent from the only Democratic commissioner, Anna Gomez, after requiring written commitments from Skydance that allow the government to influence editorial decisions at CBS. Gomez accused the FCC of "imposing never-before-seen controls over newsroom decisions and editorial judgment, in direct violation of the First Amendment and the law." Und

While announcing his new so-called "AI Action Plan," which is primarily designed to eliminate regulatory hurdles for the industry, president Donald Trump made some baffling remarks. While standing next to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, whose chipmaker leads the S&P 500 Top 10 Index with a multi-trillion-dollar market cap, Trump admitted he had no idea what Nvidia was, as Tom's Hardware noticed.

Is Trump Trying to Get Back in Elon Musk’s Good Graces?

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-07-27 21:10:01

Elon Musk and Donald Trump joined forces before the 2024 presidential election to help each other out. Trump needed Musk’s money to buy votes and Musk needed Trump to decimate the federal government while making sure contracts with his own companies remained untouched. But the two men had a very messy falling out back in late May, when Musk departed his government role with DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency.

Trump’s order to make chatbots anti-woke is unconstitutional, senator says

The CEOs of every major artificial intelligence company received letters Wednesday urging them to fight Donald Trump's anti-woke AI order. Trump's executive order requires any AI company hoping to contract with the federal government to jump through two hoops to win funding. First, they must prove their AI systems are "truth-seeking"—with outputs based on "historical accuracy, scientific inquiry, and objectivity" or else acknowledge when facts are uncertain. Second, they must train AI models to

The unholy alliance between Silicon Valley and the Republican Party is no longer new.
