Elon Musk threatens to ban Apple devices from his companies over Apple's ChatGPT integrations
By Sarah Perez via TechCrunch
Elon Musk threatens to ban Apple devices from his companies over Apple's ChatGPT integrations, criticizing potential privacy risks despite reassurances from Apple and OpenAI.
Apple plans to integrate ChatGPT into iOS 18, allowing users to ask Siri questions, access ChatGPT for writing tools, and utilize AI features without an app, raising privacy concerns for Musk.
Musk's posts argue Apple lacks control over OpenAI's data handling, claiming Apple's inability to create its own AI makes its privacy assurances dubious.
𝕏: If Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level, then Apple devices will be banned at my companies. That is an unacceptable security violation. - Elon Musk (@elonmusk)
We just broke ground on America's first next-gen nuclear facility
By Bill Gates via GatesNotes
Bill Gates announces the groundbreaking of America's first next-gen nuclear facility, marking a significant milestone in nuclear energy development.
The facility, located in Wyoming, is a project by TerraPower, co-founded by Gates, aiming to provide a safer and more sustainable energy alternative.
This new nuclear reactor technology promises to reduce carbon emissions and enhance energy security, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change.
𝕏: I’ve been waiting for this day for nearly 20 years: Today, we broke ground on the first-ever Natrium plant in Kemmerer, Wyoming. This next-generation nuclear power plant is a big step towards safe, abundant, zero-carbon energy. - Bill Gates (@BillGates)

Google is ready to fill free streaming TV channels with ads
By Umar Shakir via The Verge
Google introduces the Google TV network, enabling targeted ads on over 125 free streaming TV channels, focusing on unskippable ad spots for greater advertiser reach.
With 20 million active Google TV devices and over 150 million YouTube viewers monthly in the living room, Google expands its advertising footprint, integrating with Google Ads and Display & Video 360.
The rise of FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV) channels offers a cable-like experience without costs, with Google TV users watching an average of 75 minutes per day, creating prime opportunities for advertisers.
Tesla Must Face Autopilot False Ad Claims by California DMV
By Rachel Graf via Bloomberg
Tesla must address claims by the California DMV that it overstated the capabilities of its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features, potentially misleading customers.
An administrative judge allowed the case to proceed, rejecting Tesla's argument that its safety disclosures were sufficient to inform users.
The decision is part of broader regulatory scrutiny into Tesla's marketing practices concerning its autonomous driving technology.
EV Trade War Could Spread to Luxury Cars
By Stephen Wilmot via Wall Street Journal
Europe faces a dilemma with Chinese electric vehicles (EVs): imposing high tariffs like President Biden could lead to Chinese retaliation against European luxury cars.
Maintaining the current 10% tariff risks allowing Chinese EVs to gain market share due to their advanced technology and 30% cost advantage.
The potential for an EV trade war could impact the luxury car market, with over 300,000 European luxury cars exported to China annually.
