    What’s the point of a tender offer. The moment he crosses 15%, the poison pill gets activated and he gets diluted.

      I read that the tender offer doesn’t impact the 15%. I could be wrong.

      @Gabriel McKee The tender will not circumvent the poison pill.

    He’s not going to allow them to manipulate another election. His plan (whatever it is) is coming sooner, not later.

    I encourage Elon Musk to continue to ruffle the feathers of all the mockingbirds!! It’s the BEST THING to save democracy. Not destroy it. Anyone who believes otherwise are the problem in this country. Remember when we were one of the few free speech nations? Hummm I liked that country.

    Oh a private company can do whatever it wants? Well then, a private individual can buy that company and do with it whatever they want.

    The Twitter board should not be able to tell Elon musk what to do with the company, especially if he is the majority shareholder. The seven people on the board even know it makes no sense and is scared of it turning into an all American company ????‍♂️. Oh well, 5x, the jobs are coming back to Twitter ????. Money and numbers talk for themselves.

Crusoe CEO Chase Lochmiller discusses the AI infrastructure company’s nearly $4 billion in fresh funding sending its valuation to almost $31 billion. He also discusses how it will fuel the company’s push to build AI infrastructure spanning data centers, cloud computing and managed AI services. He says Crusoe could eventually enter the public markets and pushes back against growing opposition to data centers, arguing the industry has a “marketing issue” and needs to better communicate its impact on water, jobs and local tax revenue. He joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.”

Calls to “pace” development at the AI frontier are unlikely to translate into a slowdown in infrastructure spending, according to Sara Araghi, Franklin Templeton Portfolio Manager and Franklin Venture Partner. She argues that even if labs temper some model training, growing inference demand will continue to require enormous amounts of compute. Araghi also discusses why…

She argues that even if labs temper some model training, growing inference demand will continue to require enormous amounts of compute. Araghi also discusses why heightened AI safety concerns could boost demand for cybersecurity and why she doesn’t expect the debate to derail funding or anticipated AI IPOs.
