This week, a federal court in the United States addressed several significant aspects of Elon Musk's business activities. At the center of attention is a lawsuit in which Musk is demanding 150 billion dollars from OpenAI, claiming that the company violated its original intent to use its profits to fund a Mars colonization project. During the trial hearing, Shivon Zilis testified; she has four children with Musk and was a member of OpenAI's board of directors. She stated that her personal relationship with Musk did not influence her judgment in decision-making as a board member. Le Monde ↗ BBC News ↗

In parallel with the legal dispute, Musk's companies continue their expansion into new technological areas. SpaceX plans to invest 55 billion dollars in a joint project with Tesla called Terafab, which is to manufacture artificial intelligence chips in the US state of Texas. As part of strengthening its position in the AI sector, SpaceX has also reached an agreement with Anthropic to lease its extensive Colossus 1 data center. This deal will allow Anthropic to expand capacity for its Claude model and compete with OpenAI. hnonline.sk ↗ ihned.cz ↗

Musk's activities are also expanding into other sectors. Starlink continues to expand its satellite internet in Africa, where it is now reaching Zimbabwe with the aim of providing connectivity to rural schools. The scope and ambition of Musk's projects underscore his effort to control key technological sectors, from artificial intelligence through chip manufacturing to satellite internet.
