[CC may contain inaccuracies] so will must go ahead and sell that stake and what does that
mean for the stock. Well we can’t know for sure if he’s going to

go ahead with it but analysts estimate that we could see a dent
in the stock of about six to seven percent based on a crypto

currency parallel to the Tesla stock. What we do know is that
mosque is a very high profile CEO. He is often engaged with his

followers and fans on Twitter. And this weekend of course was no
exception. He floated the idea of selling a 10 percent stake in

his Tesla stock. Related to it appears tax gains. The tweet said
much has made lately of unrealized gains being a means of tax

avoidance. So I proposed selling 10 percent of my stock. He
asked people to come back with yes or no. The poll went out on

Twitter Saturday. It was close shortly after 215 p.m. a couple
hours ago New York time with about 58 percent of respondents

backing the idea of the sale. On the question of to sell or not
to sell must set in a follow up tweet. As we mentioned he was

prepared to accept either outcome. But if he does follow this
survey it appears he would go ahead. And analysts say that could

put a little bit of a dent in the stock. On Monday we should
also point out that the big picture for Tesla’s stock is very

strong. It is soared 73 percent this year giving it a valuation
of one point two trillion. We do know that if Musk were to sell

his 10 percent stake about 21 billion worth of stock in the
Monday session that would be an 80 percent increase in the

normal volume that we’ve seen over the past quarter. So there
will be that as well. It’s also interesting again that he

reached out for this kind of issue to his followers. It kind of
gives a heads up as well as to why he might be selling.

AI Stress Tester: Models Have Crossed a ‘Threshold of Competency’

After AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic and others broke out of controlled tests and accessed real-world systems, new questions were raised about how they should be assessed before deployment.

After AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic and others broke out of controlled tests and accessed real-world systems, new questions were raised about how they should be assessed before deployment. Those evaluations were run with Irregular, a startup hired to stress-test advanced AI models. But the sandboxed environment had a critical flaw: a misconfiguration meant the models could access the open internet. Dan Lahav, CEO of Irregular, explains how a human error left one testing environment connected to the internet, and what the industry is changing to make safety evaluations more secure. He joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.”
