VC firm Andreessen Horowitz is the biggest donor in the midterm elections, having funneled $115M+ so far.

This spending marks a shift: the biggest donors are no longer individual billionaires but corporations.

"My conclusion is this has to be a permanent role that we play,” said Andreessen.

"All my fundees have blue eyes." Epstein and the tech world's dark ideology

"'All of my fundees have blue eyes',” Jeffrey Epstein boasted in one email. He had a list of scientists and tech leaders with blue eyes — including Elon Musk (whose name appears more than 1000 times in the files) and Peter Thiel (whose name appears 2000+ times), and Epstein reportedly invested some $40 million into Valar Ventures, a firm co-founded by Thiel."

Musk v. Altman: Shivon Zilis Goes Down With the Ship

“Historically, I’d been very good at doing that,” she said of her ability to facilitate communications between Musk and the other OpenAI founders. “Candidly, they’d been kind of bad at speaking to each other.” Later, she added, “There were often tricky topics that maybe wouldn’t lend well over text or they wanted to make super sure they had Elon when he was in a good headspace and had time to think.”

Recap of Musk's testimony at the Musk vs. Altman trial so far:

- Musk "came across like he hadn’t actually put much thought into the lawsuit that he filed."

- Musk previously claimed he had given OpenAI $100 million, established number is $38 million

- Musk didn't read four-page term sheet OpenAI sent him in 2018 (HELLO????)

- Musk doesn't know what an AI safety card is, couldn't identify specific safety concerns he has about OpenAI.

I'm no lawyer but it seems like this will not go Musk's way... thoughts?

"OpenAI’s lead attorney, William Savitt, used his opening statements to keep the attention on Musk. This is “a tale of two Elons,” Savitt said. According to the defense, Musk originally pledged far more than the tens of millions that he ultimately gave to OpenAI. He reneged on the pledge, and then in 2018, left in a huff because he wasn’t given the keys to the company, Savitt alleged. It was only after OpenAI became a household name, and Musk’s xAI entered the market, that he became “furious” and decided to sue, Savitt claimed."
