Elon Musk announced that his startup xAI has merged with his social media platform X in an all-stock deal, valuing xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion. Musk emphasized the merger's potential to combine AI capabilities with X's extensive reach, while xAI's Grok chatbot is already integrated into the platform. This move follows Musk's acquisition of Twitter for $44 billion in 2022 and his ongoing efforts to compete with major AI players like OpenAI and Google.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is onboarding members of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) following a lawsuit against him for failing to disclose his Twitter shares timely. This initiative aims to enhance efficiency and address waste within federal agencies. SEC staff have been instructed to consult a liaison team before sharing information with DOGE members, emphasizing the need for compliance with ethics and security protocols.
Russia has proposed supplying a small-sized nuclear power plant to support Elon Musk's Mars mission, according to Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund. He praised Musk as a visionary and expressed expectations for upcoming talks between Russia and Musk regarding this collaboration. Despite ongoing tensions due to the war in Ukraine, cooperation in space continues between Moscow and Washington.
Oman has granted Starlink Muscat a Class 1 license to provide nationwide satellite internet, expanding its services in the Middle East. The low-Earth orbit satellites will deliver high-speed broadband, reaching remote areas and supporting key sectors like oil, gas, and tourism. Starlink plans to launch in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan in 2025, while services in Saudi Arabia and the UAE await regulatory approval.
Elon Musk announced plans to step down from his role in the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) by the end of May, having reduced the US deficit by $1 trillion. He described the initiative as a "revolution" in government, aiming to improve efficiency and reduce waste, while facing criticism for significant staff cuts and agency closures. Musk emphasized that the reforms would ultimately benefit Americans, despite challenges in reconciling government databases and maintaining communication with Congress.
Elon Musk stated that reducing federal spending by a trillion dollars is "quite achievable" without cutting essential services. In an interview, he emphasized the need to eliminate waste and fraud, aiming for a 15% reduction in spending while ensuring critical government functions remain intact. Musk's cost-cutting initiative has already led to significant staff reductions in various agencies, although major targets like the Pentagon are still pending.
Democratic lawmakers, led by Senator Ben Ray Luján and Congressman Dave Min, are set to introduce the "Special Government Employees Transparency Act of 2025," aiming to mandate public financial disclosures for Special Government Employees like Elon Musk. This legislation seeks to enhance accountability and transparency, addressing potential conflicts of interest, especially given Musk's significant federal contracts through SpaceX and Tesla. The bill faces challenges in a Republican-controlled Congress but is supported by various watchdog groups advocating for stricter ethical standards.
Elon Musk has reclaimed his title as the world's richest person, with a net worth of $420 billion, marking an 82% increase largely driven by Tesla's soaring stock prices. This financial surge, linked to the 'Trump effect,' has also benefited other American billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos. However, Musk's wealth has seen significant fluctuations, with a $100 billion drop following a decline in Tesla's market value amid rising competition and investor concerns.
Vietnam has authorized SpaceX to conduct a trial of its Starlink satellite internet service until the end of 2030. This initiative will provide both fixed and mobile internet services, including connectivity for flights, with a limit of 600,000 subscribers during the trial. There are no restrictions on foreign ownership, although it remains unclear if SpaceX has applied for a formal operating license in the country.
SpaceX is reportedly involved in a controversial arrangement that allows for a secret backdoor facilitating Chinese investment. This revelation raises significant concerns regarding national security and the implications of foreign influence in the aerospace sector.
