    Ferrari's EV Bet Looks Smarter Than You Think

    Ferrari launched its first EV and car lovers + the internet are deeply unimpressed. This is bad news for Ferrari in the short term, but new data shows that they were likely not wrong to tackle the electric vehicle market. Global EV sales hit 20 million in 2025, on track for half a billion cars within a decade. Meanwhile the Strait of Hormuz blockade is draining global strategic reserves.

    OpenAI Misses Targets as Anthropic Hits $965 Billion

    Anthropic just hit a $965B valuation and is now worth more than OpenAI. How did they get here so fast, and what does it mean for OpenAI's IPO? In this episode, we break down Anthropic's $65B Series H led by Sequoia, Altimeter, and Greenoaks, the Opus 4.8 model launch, and why Andrej Karpathy leaving for Anthropic matters. We also dig into OpenAI's IPO dilemma, their $25B revenue run rate versus Anthropic's $47B, missed user targets, and Sam Altman's surprising reversal on AI-driven job loss.

    Running Out of Oil

    Gas hit $4.56 this Memorial Day weekend and consumer sentiment just dropped to an all-time low. The Strait of Hormuz conflict is draining global oil reserves at a record pace, and the latest truce talks don’t seem stable at all. So energy businesses from utilities to autos are rethinking everything as the largest utility merge in the world, NextEra-Dominion, could reshape electricity prices on the entire Eastern Seaboard and Ford gets serious about building batteries even though it threw away it’s electric vehicle business.

    China's Secret $3.3 Trillion Patent Harvest Exposed

    A new landmark study traced $3.3 trillion in Chinese foreign investment across 161,000 companies in 159 countries and what it found about patent harvesting should concern every Western economy. The research, published by the US National Bureau of Economic Research, reveals how Chinese state-owned enterprises and private investors have systematically targeted pre-patent, R&D-intensive firms in North America and Europe since 2012. More than $800 billion of that investment flowed through the Cayman Islands alone, obscuring ownership and bypassing standard foreign direct investment reporting. The strategy traces directly to the Made in China 2015 initiative, which directed Chinese firms to acquire and repatriate foreign intellectual property and the data shows it is working.

    OpenAI Must IPO First At Any Price, Anthropic Dominating AI

    OpenAI just won a major legal battle against Elon Musk, but are they about to lose the IPO race anyway in the hottest year ever for public offerings? The Musk v. OpenAI trial ended in just two hours with a verdict for the defense, but the reputational damage from testimony may matter more than the legal outcome. Sam Altman now faces a House Oversight inquiry over $2 billion in stakes he holds in companies tied to OpenAI, while OpenAI misses targets and the CFO says it's not ready for public markets.

    Will $725 Billion in NEW AI Spending Actually Pay Off?

    AI CapEx is projected to hit $725B this year, up 77% from $410B, as the Iran war pressures the global economy, with AI/tech and oil and gas outperforming while other sectors struggle. Saudi Aramco warns gas and jet fuel stockpiles could reach critically low levels if the Strait of Hormuz can’t reopen, and the New York Fed’s Global Supply Chain Pressure Index is at its highest since COVID-era peaks. All while Google surges, Meta falters, and Microsoft tests out usage based pricing under margin pressure. Meanwhile, OpenAI’s woes multiply under the weight of an astounding burn rate and an inability to close financing for a critical AI chip deal with Broadcom.

    US China Secret Cold War Escalates Over AI, Iran & More

    The US-China summit is touted as a breakthrough, but 4 unresolved conflicts stand in the way: AI chip export controls and smuggling routes through Singapore and Thailand, China’s satellite support for Iran, the Taiwan reunification deadline of 2027, and the decades-long unfair China trade disputes and Section 301 investigations at the USTR. Between the Supermicro founder personally smuggling NVIDIA servers to China, NVIDIA Blackwell and Vera Rubin chip restrictions, the Shadow Fleet sanctions evasion network in Hong Kong, are there just too many issues to resolve peacefully?
