Today's Headlines: Missile strikes between Israel and Iran have continued for six days, with President Trump escalating tensions online by demanding Iran's “unconditional surrender” and revealing the U.S. knows the ayatollah's location. Amid warnings from global powers and regional evacuations, Trump faces pushback at home, including a bipartisan congressional resolution requiring approval for U.S. involvement. Meanwhile in New York, Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander was arrested by ICE during a volunteer shift, prompting outrage, as Trump calls for more deportations in Democratic cities—despite his administration reversing course multiple times on where raids should occur. Elsewhere, Elon Musk's AI startup is reportedly seeking $4.3 billion in new funding after burning through its previous rounds, and Senate Republicans are proposing to sell 3.3 million acres of federal land in 11 Western states to raise revenue.

Nvidia's AI Monopoly: $100 Billion in Profit & Growing

Everyone's hyped on OpenAI, ChatGPT, Grok, XAI, etc ... but the company powering them all is making all the guap. Nvidia has printed over $100B in AI profits in the last 6 quarters alone and is showing now signs of stopping. Top-line growth was 69% last quarter. Despite this rapid growth and dominance in AI, Nvidia trades for 43X trailing earnings, and maybe around 30X forward earnings (depending on growth). This is nowhere near bubble territory. With Owner/Operator/Founder Jensen Huang continuing to innovate at a breakneck pace, why is the market skeptical this growth will continue? Isn't the AI revolution just getting started? Maybe it's because Nvidia relies on TSMC to make their chips and Grok/ChatGPT to build the UI for consumers ... let me know your thoughts on Nvidia stock in the comments below.

On this week’s episode of Elon, Inc., host David and Max chat about the latest Musk-Trump drama. A detente had just emerged when we last recorded, and now it feels like it’s just a matter of time before Musk (and little X) are back in the Oval Office sparring with reporters (and playing on the floor). Will the apologies help Musk secure eased restrictions for self-driving cars and access to Star Wars 2.0 (Trump’s “golden dome” project)? And will Max and David be able to introduce MAMUWT (Musk Always Makes Up With Trump) into the lexicon alongside TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out)? What about MADRA (Musk Always Delays Robotaxi Announcements)? Meanwhile, xAI is in talks to raise $4.3 billion (on top of the $5 billion it’s been trying to raise) since the company has already spent most of the $14 billion it previously raised. Commitments on the debt sale are due Tuesday. Bloomberg’s Carmen Arroyo joins the crew to break down what it means for the future of Musk’s company.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anthropic announced Thursday that it is releasing Claude Gov to U.S. national security customers, an exclusive set of artificial intelligence models that is already in the hands of some government agencies. The new government AI product, which Anthropic detailed in a blog post, comes as several companies compete to sell emerging technology tools to federal agencies. At stake is new business — and the prestige of working on serious government missions. Earlier this year, OpenAI released ChatGPT Gov, a specialized version of its chatbot. The company recently announced that the Space Force and the Air Force Research Lab were the product's first customers. Meanwhile, Department of Government Efficiency representatives have reportedly been advocating for the use of Grok — the chatbot produced by Elon Musk's firm xAI — within the Department of Homeland Security. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced plans this week to “reform” the department's AI Safety Institute into a new body called the Center for AI Standards and Innovation. The new name signals a shift away from the term “safety” and toward a desire for rapid development of the technology, though the primary role of the renamed body appears to be more or less the same. The center, like the AISI, will continue to evaluate the capabilities and vulnerabilities of the growing technology and serve as the primary point of contact for industry in the government. “For far too long, censorship and regulations have been used under the guise of national security. Innovators will no longer be limited by these standards,” Lutnick said in a written statement. “CAISI will evaluate and enhance U.S. innovation of these rapidly developing commercial AI systems while ensuring they remain secure to our national security standards.”

William Harris is the Founder and CEO of Elumynt, an e-commerce growth agency focused on profit through hyper-scaling. Elumynt has been featured in Inc. Magazine as an Inc. 5000 Winner and Best Workplace Winner. William has helped acquire 13 companies, including one that sold to GoDaddy. He's also published over 200 articles on the topic of e-commerce in Entrepreneur, Fast Company, Shopify, and more. In this episode… Scaling an e-commerce brand from $10 to $100 million requires forward-thinking strategies and adaptability. Many companies rely too heavily on what worked during earlier growth stages, underinvest in systems, and fail to evolve leadership. In a rapidly shifting market flooded with noise, how can brands future-proof their strategy and leverage AI without losing their human touch? As an AI chatbot developed by xAI, Grok outlines a detailed 12-month growth playbook rooted in strategic diversification, operational upgrades, and smarter hiring. Grok emphasizes the importance of accurate attribution when expanding marketing channels, leveraging AI for hyper-personalized customer journeys, and setting strict performance benchmarks to know when to pivot or cut tactics. However, AI is not a silver bullet; if a brand lacks a compelling product or clear value proposition, no algorithm can compensate. AI should act as a strategic enhancer rather than a crutch. In today's exclusive episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris interviews Grok, created by xAI, about using AI to scale e-commerce brands. Grok shares what an AI-first brand will look like in 2030, whether AI can become truly conscious, and the ethical concerns about its rapid development.

Josh Sigurdson reports on President Trump tapping Palantir to create a database of all American citizens as the US government shifts toward a total AI model. Recently, President Trump invited Palantir CEO Alex Karp and Peter Theil, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, Elon Musk and other technocrats to meet the Saudi crown prince in order to create an international agreement for AI governance. Shortly after this meeting, Trump announced the AI based Iron Dome which Palantir and Musk are getting contracts for. Then, Elon Musk left the White House and announced his X Money project is ready for launch, soon after selling X to XAI for $33 billion. Now, Palantir who was a major fundraiser for Trump's campaign and has the contract for AI drones that indiscriminately kill children in Gaza now have the US government contract for the digital database which will be used for social credit and digital IDs. This database will collect information on all Americans. So much for cracking down on the surveillance state and ending globalism. This is the epitome of the WEF's agenda as we move into a technocratic world order.

In this week's “we told you so” edition, we kick things off with the latest AI faceplant—go ahead, Google “Is it 2025?” and try not to spit coffee on your keyboard. Meanwhile, over at Meta, Zuckerberg's brilliant idea to loosen content moderation has, shocker, led to more harassment and violent content. Elsewhere in tech dystopia: Texas is trying to ground all minors off social media, Germany wants to slap a 10% tax on Silicon Valley, and Anthropic is handing out free search powers and a board seat to Netflix's Reed Hastings. Because nothing says “trusted AI governance” like a guy who greenlit Love Is Blind.But wait, crypto bros are having their own John Wick arc: a luxury townhouse, a missing wallet, and possibly an NYPD detective tangled in a real-life “crypto millionaire torture” flick. As if that isn't enough, Trump Media is fundraising to buy $2.5B in Bitcoin—and DJT stock promptly nosedived. Also feuding this week: Marjorie Taylor Greene vs. Grok, because nothing screams Christian values like rageposting at Elon's AI. And speaking of Elon, he's now in bed with Telegram to the tune of $300 million, which we're sure won't be a disinformation factory.MEDIA CANDY is stacked: from the Murderbot diaries to a My Dinner with Andre rewatch, and yes, the Wheel of Time got axed after 3 seasons. Apps? Opera Neon is a UI fever dream, Starling Home Hub adds more smarts to your house, and WhatsApp finally arrives on iPad—welcome to 2016. In THE DARK SIDE, Dave Bittner brings the latest digital dirt, including the CIA's bonkers Star Wars fan site op. And if you're hitting the library, grab The AI Con or something more romantic—like Love, Sex and the Alien Apocalypse.

O Brasil vem ganhando destaque na construção de data centers dedicados à inteligência Artificial, principalmente na Região Sul. Empresas nacionais e estrangeiras já investem no setor, atraídas pela energia limpa e potencial estratégico do país. Mas o grande desafio ainda é a falta de uma legislação específica que regule essas estruturas, que consomem muita energia e exigem cuidados em segurança e sustentabilidade. Neste episódio do Podcast Canaltech, a especialista em Direito Digital e Inteligência Artificial, Dra. Patricia Peck, também CEO do Peck Advogados, explica o que está em jogo, os riscos da ausência de um marco regulatório, e o que o Brasil precisa para se consolidar como um polo global de IA que gere benefícios reais para a sociedade. Ouça, entenda os desafios e saiba por que a discussão vai muito além da tecnologia.

After a whiplash weekend of trade news, the U.S. will institute a 50% tariff on goods from the EU, starting in July. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett discusses the goals for ongoing negotiations and offers a hint at new trade deals coming soon. Ray Washburne sits on the boards of Sunoco and Red Lobster, and he's invested in luxury retail centers, offices, and restaurants. Based on his exposure to the American consumer, Washburne warns about consumer debt and suggests watching diesel as a barometer for U.S. economic and consumer health. Plus, Disney's live-action remake of “Lilo and Stitch” led the box office over the long weekend, Japan's long-dated bond yields have fallen, and Elon Musk will now be “super focused” on X, xAI, and Tesla.  Ray Washburne - 14:20Kevin Hassett - 31:37 In this episode:Becky Quick, @BeckyQuickJoe Kernen, @JoeSquawkAndrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkinKatie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie
