Elon Musk says a new AI system being developed jointly by Tesla and xAI could eventually replicate the functions performed by entire companies, including Microsoft. In a new post on X, Musk calls the AI system “Macrohard,” also referred to as “Digital Optimus,” which he says will combine Tesla hardware with xAI’s Grok model. According to Musk, the system will rely on Grok as the decision-making layer while another component handles real-time computer interaction. “Macrohard or Digital Optimus is a joint xAI-Tesla project, coming as part of Tesla’s investment agreement with xAI.

Goldman Sachs says AI could eliminate roughly one million US jobs annually as the technology diffuses across corporate America. In a new Bloomberg interview, Goldman Sachs managing director Matthew Weir affirms the bank’s house call that AI will destroy one million US jobs per year. While the scale of AI job destruction looks shocking, Weir zooms out to paint a clear picture of the US labor market. “Now certainly, AI is going to boost productivity, and unfortunately, it is going to displace workers. But as you mentioned, there’s a tremendous amount of new job creation each year. Bear with me,…
Senator Rand Paul says the United States’ growing national debt poses the biggest threat to the country’s long-term security. In a new interview with Bloomberg, the Kentucky Republican says rising federal borrowing weakens national stability even as Washington debates major increases in military spending. Paul warns that proposals to expand defense budgets while debt continues to climb could increase fiscal risks. “I think the biggest threat to our country and to our national security is our debt. So I think adding more to our debt doesn’t make us safer. It actually will make us more in danger to be further…
OpenAI board chair Bret Taylor says most companies are not designed to get all the possible productivity gains from AI adoption. In a new interview on the Cheeky Pint podcast, Taylor says the issue is not the technology itself but the way companies are structured. He says most organizations are still built around traditional departmental hierarchies rather than workflows that can integrate AI efficiently. “I think part of the reason it’s been slow to get the productivity enhancement is that we ship our org charts as companies naturally. That’s the natural state. There’s usually not a person responsible for that…

In November 2025, the e-commerce titan sent a cease-and-desist letter to Perplexity, demanding it immediately halt the use of Comet AI agents in the Amazon Store. In the letter, Amazon said Perplexity’s AI agents accessed the site and user accounts without authorization, violating its Conditions of Use and computer misuse statutes. In a ruling from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Judge Maxine M. Chesney granted Amazon’s request for a preliminary injunction against Perplexity AI over how its…

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) warns that governments around the world will soon have to make hard choices as global debt explodes. In a new piece, the IMF’s Fiscal Affairs Department director Rodrigo Valdes and deputy director Era Dabla-Norris say global public debt has been rising steadily prior to Covid and has exploded as countries borrowed heavily to deal with the pandemic. While the response averted a deeper catastrophe, the authors say countries are now facing a world where borrowing is no longer cheap. “Global public debt climbed to 93.9 percent of GDP in 2025 and is on track to…
Oracle says advances in AI are enabling the company to build more software in less time and with fewer workers. In its Q3 2026 earnings report, Oracle says strong demand from major AI customers is strengthening the company’s outlook. “The demand for cloud computing for AI training and inferencing continues to grow faster than supply. Furthermore, some of the largest consumers of AI Cloud capacity have recently strengthened their financial positions quite substantially. These market dynamics enable Oracle to comfortably meet and likely exceed our revenue growth rate forecast for FY27 and beyond.” Amid advances in AI, Oracle says it…
A top market strategist is issuing a contrarian call, saying rising oil prices may actually boost the US stock market. In a new CNBC interview, Fundstrat head of research Tom Lee says the stock market’s recent reaction to higher energy prices suggests investors are handling the shock better than many expected. “If I look back at the last two days, oil’s $15 higher than it was last week, but the S&P is higher. So to me, the market actually is handling higher oil prices better.” Lee explains the underlying dynamics fueling capital flows into US equities amid oil price spikes.…
A top Morgan Stanley market strategist believes that the S&P 500 is primed to shed about 7% in the coming weeks before conditions improve. In a new episode of the bank’s Thoughts on the Market podcast, Morgan Stanley chief US equity strategist Mike Wilson says the stock correction started in October and is now in its latter stages. But Wilson notes that it is not yet likely the time to buy the dip. “The questions for equity investors now are what will the world look like in six months, and are prices cheap enough to start assuming a better future?…
