Regarding the long-running legal dispute between billionaires Elon Musk and Sam Altman over OpenAI, the firm they co-founded, a federal judge said Tuesday that she is unlikely to stop the business's current restructuring plan. Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla and a close ally of President Donald Trump, wants to prevent the Microsoft-backed AI developer from turning into a for-profit business. He filed a lawsuit against OpenAI last year, first in California and then in federal court, alleging that the firm was turning into a closed source and profit-maximizer. U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers stated in a courtroom in Oakland, California, on Tuesday that Musk's allegation of irreparable injury is a stretch, adding that the lawsuit is a contest between billionaires. Musk is asking ...

The United States imposed a 10% tariff on all Chinese imports on Tuesday, reigniting a trade war between the two nations that could potentially worsen and result in price increases for American customers on a wide range of Chinese-made items. President Donald Trump declared that he would impose the tariffs unless China acted to stop the flow of fentanyl into the US.In response, China declared that it will impose its own tariffs on a number of American goods the next week, including oil, coal, pickup trucks, and agricultural equipment. Investors and industry analysts anticipate that the additional expense will have a knock-on effect on several companies that mostly depend on Chinese manufacturing, even though the 10% tax is less than the 60% tariff Trump had warned during his campaign.

In an Oval Office meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, President Donald Trump stated that Palestinians in Gaza had "no alternative" but to flee their homes. He went on to say that the United States could occupy the territory. Regarding Gaza, which has been destroyed by the Israel-Hamas conflict, Trump declared, "The whole thing is a mess," "I don't believe that anyone should return to Gaza. Gaza has, in my opinion, been quite unlucky for them. They have lived as though they were in hell, just as you are. There is no place for people to live in Gaza. They have no other option, which is the only reason they wish to return, in my opinion. What other options are there? Where do you go? They would far prefer live in a lovely, safe alternative than return to Gaza if...
