Elon Musk has announced a blockbuster move: the merger of his AI startup, xAI, with X (formerly Twitter), in a deal valuing the two at a combined $113 billion. But what does this mean for the tech world, investors, and the future of AI? Jan Vermeulen is Editor at MyBroadband.co.za and he joins John Maytham to break down the deal’s implications - from the strategic use of Grok, xAI’s powerful chatbot, to the financial engineering behind the $45 billion valuation of X.

Tucker Carlson has been actively engaged in various media endeavors and public discussions recently. One of the significant developments is the acquisition of Red Seat Ventures, the media company behind Carlson's projects, by Fox Corp. This acquisition places Red Seat Ventures within Fox's Tubi Media Group, but it will operate independently of Fox News Media. This move allows Carlson and other creators, including Bill O'Reilly and Megyn Kelly, to maintain the independence and integrity of their brands while expanding their services[3].Carlson continues to produce content through the Tucker Carlson Network, which he launched in 2023. His show features a wide range of topics, including interviews with notable figures. For instance, recent episodes have included discussions with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on border issues and drug cartels, and an interview with Prince Alwaleed bin Talal on various global topics such as Trump's tariffs and the relationship between Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Iran[1].In terms of public appearances and statements, Carlson has been addressing viewer questions on topics like Joe Biden's health and the responsibilities of single fathers. He also engages in debates, as seen in his recent discussion with Piers Morgan on issues such as foreign aid, hate speech, NATO, and gun control[2].There have been reactions to Carlson's comments, particularly regarding his claims and controversies. For example, his hoax about the alleged resale of weapons to Mexican cartels has been a subject of criticism and discredit[5].Carlson's influence on media and politics remains a topic of discussion. His ability to reach a wide audience and shape public opinion is significant, especially given the current distrust in traditional journalism. This environment has made it easier for figures like Carlson to gain traction with their narratives[5].In terms of interactions with other public figures, Carlson has had notable exchanges, such as his debate with Piers Morgan and interviews with prominent individuals like Dana White and Vladimir Putin. These interactions highlight his ongoing role in shaping and participating in public discourse[1][2].Thank you for listening to the Tucker Carlson news tracker podcast.

On this episode of the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, Jared Kushner and Elon Musk were just accidentally intentionally “spotted” hanging out together at the World Cup Finals in Qatar, I wonder what that means? It means something. Speaking of Jared Kushner, he just started Affinity Partners hedge fund that opened its doors with $2,000,000,000.00 in petty cash on day one of operations. I wonder where all that cash came from. (not really). Here's a fun fact – did you know that the Kingdom Holding Company and the private office of Prince Alwaleed bin Talal are the second largest investors in Twitter? It's true. Hmm, I wonder what all these seemingly unrelated items have to do with each other? (I don't really wonder, I know). Did you know that the New York Times published a swastika-shaped crossword puzzle to celebrate the first day of Hanukkah? They did, and what about the Spartan Virus and Mein Kampf? Man, oh man. Get ready for Round #2 of the New World Order, coming soon to a theater near you in 2023, you heard it here first. All this and more on the Prophecy News Podcast today at Noon EST!

Hooooo boy. Ok, Elon Musk officially owns Twitter. Does that mean a big "Andrew was wrong?" Well.... kinda but it's complicated. We really just did not fathom how irrational Elon is.

The life and exploits of Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, aka MBS.Mohammed bin Salman is the uncrowned king of Saudi Arabia, ruling the Kingdom with an iron fist. He took power by force and coercion from Muhammad bin Nayef and he consolidated that power by kidnapping, detaining and torturing members of the Saudi Royal Family and prominent businessmen like Prince Alwaleed bin Talal in the Ritz Carlton hotel in Riyadh, he even kidnapped the Lebanese prime minister Saad Hariri and imprisoned his own mother. He also ordered the murder and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2017. If you enjoy our content, please become a patron to get our premium exclusive episodes, and our public episodes ad-free. 1 MBS also has an army of flies, tiger squads, gold cars and a lavish lifestyle, he owns the world's most expensive home, the Serene $500M yacht and Leonardo Da Vinci's Salvator Mundi, but the painting he paid $450M for proved to be a fake. MBS has a very dual personality: he's modern but also medieval at the same time. The Saudi state essentially treats women as permanent legal minors. But MBS is also implementing Vision 2030 to modernize Saudi Arabia, he allowed women to drive, he brought back cinemas, he reduced the power of the religious police and clerics, he wants green energy cities, and to move away from dependency on oil. 2 In the context of president Biden's upcoming visit to Saudi Arabia and meeting with King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and MBS, “the reset”, with a gallon of oil priced $5, we think it's important to also highlight the relations between US and Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region like Qatar, Yemen, Syria, , Bahrain, Lebanon (United Arab Emirates), as well as the Iran – Saudi Arabia proxy conflict, known as the Middle Eastern Cold War. Saudi Arabia has a young population, 60% of Saudis are under 30 and use Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram. MBS' army of flies – bots and hackers - created by Saud Al Qahtani ensures that no critical posts happen, and his tiger squads – hitmen – target those who dissent like Saad Al Jabri. Women can now drive but Saudi Arabia still imprisons activists like Loujain al Hathloul. Some of the laws governing sex segregation have been relaxed, but Saudi Arabia's guardianship system ensures that men still have ultimate control over most aspects of women's lives. We also discuss the beheadings in Chop Chop Square (Deera or Al-Safaa Square), the executions of those who oppose the regime, the arrest of Ali Nimr during the Arab Spring, the lashing of blogger Raif Badawi, MBS' war in Yemen, and we draw a parallel between Mohammed Bin Salman and Putin. We also discuss the connection between the Wahhabi-Salafi Islam ideology in Saudi Arabia and Daesh (Isis), Al Qaida, and other terrorist groups: the ideology is so similar that the manuals used by Saudi kids in school are the same books used in terrorist indoctrination schools in the caliphate areas. The Trump visit in Saudi Arabia and the glowing orb in the now infamous photo depicting King Salman, Trump and Egypt's president Abdel Fattah al Sisi touching the orb is also a point of discussion. 3 1.

Elon Musk swept Twitter off its feet in April, when he put in a bid to buy the company for $44 billion. But the impassioned beginnings of this acquisition have cooled down in the weeks since, as Musk has raised concerns about the inner workings of the company he agreed to buy essentially sight unseen (he did not conduct due diligence before he agreed to buy the social media platform). As the New York Times tech columnist Kevin Roose puts it, the deal is starting to look “like an arranged marriage that's sort of going sour.” Musk has invoked concerns about spam and fake accounts on the site, as well as privacy considerations. And the billionaire has gone so far as to tweet that the deal is “temporarily on hold” before clarifying that he is “still committed to acquisition.” But a breakup between Musk and Twitter would make for a difficult, costly and very public divorce.In this conversation, Kara Swisher takes stock of the Twitter-Musk marriage with Roose and William Cohan, a business writer for Puck News. They break down the balance of power between Musk and Twitter and discuss why Musk even wants the company. And Cohan breaks down how the math clears — after all, even with help from a potpourri of wealthy investors, including Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison and Prince Alwaleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia, there are still questions about how Musk, the richest person in the world, will find the tens of billions of dollars he needs to close this deal.This episode contains strong language.You can find transcripts (posted midday) and more information for all episodes at nytimes.com/sway, and you can find Kara on Twitter @karaswisher.

In this episode, we discuss the new edited volume, Islamic Scholarship in Africa: New Directions and Global Contexts, with its editor, Professor Ousmane Kane, and his colleague, Dr. Ebrima Sall, who wrote the conclusion. This volume is the product of two conferences convened at Harvard by Professor Kane in 2017 on "Texts, Knowledge, and Practice: The Meaning of Scholarship in Muslim Africa" and "New Directions in the Study of Islamic Scholarship in Africa" that brought together scholars of diverse disciplines from around the world to explore the understudied tradition of Arabo-Islamic scholarship in Africa. Professor Kane and Dr. Sall talk about what led them to want to bridge the divides between different knowledge traditions and comment on the contributions of 19 scholars to this volume on themes that include Islamic scholarly networks, textuality and orality in Islamic scholarship, the transformation of Islamic education in Africa, and the role of 'Ajami and Sufism in the transmission of Islamic knowledge in the region. Ousmane Kane is Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Professor of Islamic Religion and Society at Harvard Divinity School and Professor of African and African American Studies at Harvard University.Ebrima Sall is the executive director of Trust Africa and former executive secretary of the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA).

Darrell Castle talks about a new world of artificial intelligence being developed in Saudi Arabia. Transcription / Notes THE NEW SAUDI ARABIA Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report.  Today is Friday, November 17, 2017, and on today's Report I will continue the discussion of Saudi Arabia that we began a few weeks ago.  This is an important topic today as Saudi Arabia moves rapidly to consolidate a trans-generational change of power for the first time in 50 years.  The founding King has no more of his 36 sons left after the current one, King Salman, and therefore, power must pass to a grandson. King Salman, 88 years old, has selected his favorite son and close advisor, Mohammed bin Salman, age 32, as Crown Prince. It was assumed that King Salman would name Mohammed bin Nayef, head of the Interior Ministry, as his successor but instead, he selected Mohammed bin Salman.  Bin Salman is apparently the favorite son and top advisor to the King and, at age 32, is young enough to rule for many years.  He represents the King's effort to restructure the House of Saud, and along with it, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and he represents the global world that is being built for us. The Crown Prince says that he is not into radical Islam at all, especially the Wahabi sect of radical Islam.  Instead, he wants to modernize and bring the Kingdom and bring it into the 21st century.  The King started the process with a decree that women would be allowed to drive cars. The Crown Prince decided to kick off the new Saudi Arabia with an international conference, which we will discuss at length in a minute, but for now the conference was held last week at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Riyadh.  Billionaires from around the world came, as did several of the Crown Prince's rivals including high profile billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.  He, along with 11 or 12 other Princes, were arrested on corruption charges.  They are still confined to the Ritz-Carlton, which is a pretty nice place if you have to be confined. I predicted dire things for the Kingdom in my last podcast called The Rape of Yemen, including the monarchy falling to radical forces.  The Crown Prince apparently intends to prevent that from happening by using force and changes designed to modernize the country.  His changes, he hopes, will bring ordinary Saudis into the camp of the new country and out of the camp of the radicals. That there is more to the changes than just consolidation of power is obvious from the economic crises threatening the country.   Oil was discovered in Saudi Arabia in 1938, and since that year the seemingly inexhaustible thirst of the world's internal combustion engines for oil has made the Kingdom extremely wealthy.  But what goes around comes around as they say and now the price of oil has fallen and shows no sign of relenting anytime soon.  The low oil prices, competition from American fracking technology, and expected long term reduced demand for oil, have sent shock waves through the world's oil producers. Ninety-five per cent of Saudi GDP comes from oil, which will eventually put the country into a death spiral if something isn't done.  Very soon, the Saud family, will not be in an economic position to pay the forces of radical Islam to avoid revolution.  King Salman is forward thinking enough to understand this, so he has spent his last years as King grooming the new Crown Prince to take the country in a different direction. Transitioning from complete dependence on oil revenue will not be easy, but the effort to wean the Saudi people off subsidies has already started.  The future plans, however, are to take the Kingdom into the new global world as a full partner with those seeking globalization at whatever price.  Vision 2030 is the name of the new initiative that seeks to leverage the massive financial reserves held in the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund toward global investment.  Still, it's not at all clear how the young Prince will pull it ...

11 of Saudi Arabia’s most prominent business and political leaders, including Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, one of the wealthiest men in the world were arrested and detained over the past weekend under orders from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Saudi Attorney General Sheikh Saud al-Mojeb described the arrests as a crackdown on corruption in the government, stating that they are “merely the start of a vital process to root out corruption wherever it exists”. Were these arrests really an attempt to eliminate corruption or was it merely a way for the Crown Prince to rid himself of potential political opponents? Ambassador Gerald Feierstein, director of the Center for Gulf Affairs at the Middle East Institute, explained the palace intrigue rocking Riyadh. Mikhail Zygar, a Russian journalist and filmmaker, joined us to talk about Russian politics, the influence of the Bolshevik Revolution on Russia 100 years later and his new book, “The Empire Must Die: Russia's Revolutionary Collapse, 1900-1917”.

April 18, 2007 | The Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding and the Berkley Center symposium on "What it Means To Be a Muslim in America" featured a diverse panel, composed of John Esposito, Salman Ahmad, Imam Yahya Hendi, Sherman A. Jackson, Ingrid Mattson, and Hadia Mubarak. The panel discussed four distinct and potentially competing definitions of Muslim identity. The symposium also focused on respectful conversation regarding religion and faith and the possibilities for improving relations between the Muslim world and the West.

January 10, 2007 In response to ongoing tensions between Islam and the West, then-UN Secretary General Kofi Annan constituted a High-level Group to promote the idea of an Alliance of Civilizations. Composed of twenty prominent leaders drawn from politics, academia, civil society, business, and media around the world, the High-level Group published a report in November 2006 refuting the Clash of Civilizations thesis and offering concrete recommendations for improving relations across cultural and religious divides. John Esposito, founding director of the Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, is a member of the Group. He was joined on the panel by Shamil Idriss, acting director within the Alliance Secretariat, and Katherine Marshall, senior fellow in the Berkley Center and director of the World Faiths Development Dialogue.

January 31, 2012 What is the effect of blasphemy and apostasy laws on basic religious and political freedoms of Muslim-majority countries? What happens when Western governments and bodies like the United Nations begin passing similarly motivated restrictions on speech? These and other questions were addressed by Paul Marshall and Nina Shea as they discussed their new book, Silenced: How Apostasy and Blasphemy Codes are Choking Freedom Worldwide. Looking at the experience of hundreds of victims, from political dissidents to journalists to artists and religious reformers, the authors examined the political effects of such laws, as well as non-governmental fatwas and vigilante intimidation, on Muslim societies. The event included a response by John Voll, Professor of Islamic history and associate director of the Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University.

To Muslims, Muhammed is the most important person who ever lived. He is the Seal or the last of all the prophets, the one chosen by God to receive his final revelation. To insult the memory of the Prophet is a blasphemy and a body blow to the Muslim believer. It can carry terrible consequences as the staff of Charlie Hebdo discovered when they published cartoons which were thought by Muslims to be demeaning their Prophet. The Qur'an tells us very little about Muhammed. What we do know comes from the stories and traditions about the Prophet, known as the Hadiths, which were compiled after his death. Those stories provide moral examples of how to behave; but they also impact all of Islamic history. Ernie Rea is joined by Jonathan Brown, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Chair of Islamic Civilisation at Georgetown University; Sahib Bleher, Imam and author on the Qur'an; and Tom Holland, a Classicist and author of several best selling books including In The Shadow of the Sword, on the origins of Islam. Produced by Nija Dalal-Small.
