Published

on



Three of the world’s leading AI companies are preparing to sell stock publicy for the first time. Elon Musk’s rocket company Space X – which owns xAI and its artificial intelligence chatbot Grok – is set to debut on the Nasdaq on Friday, targeting a share price that would value the company at $1.75 trillion.

The ChatGPT creator Open AI and Anthropic – the makers of Claude – have also filed for initial public offerings – sparking massive interest from Wall Street veterans and first-time investors alike.

So, should you invest in AI? We ask the BBC’s business editor Simon Jack whether it is a good investment, and why some people are worried that the AI bubble could burst.

Trump asks UFC boss to be White House press secretary | BBC News

Published

on



US President Donald Trump has asked Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) boss Dana White to be White House press secretary, in a social media post.

“Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Dana, please take the job!”

It’s unclear whether the president’s public job offer is genuine. The BBC has asked the White House and UFC, along with its parent company TKO Group Holdings, for comment.

The vacancy for White House press secretary has been open since mid-October, when Katie Zacharia exited after just a few days on the job.

How the Democrats’ historic night of wins unfolded | BBC News

Published

on



The Democrats have won a blowout victory in the US midterm elections, winning the Senate and the House of Representatives, taking control of Congress for the rest of Donald Trump’s presidency.

In the Senate race, Republican strongholds have been toppled by the Democrats in Texas, Ohio and Kansas, which last elected a Democrat almost 100 years ago.

Trump has congratulated the Democrats on a “good job” and acknowledged that gas prices hurt Republicans during the midterm races, saying people “didn’t like it” when they had to pay more for fuel.

The midterm elections happen mid-way through every 4-year presidential election cycle, giving Americans the chance to elect members of Congress, which is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Here is how the night unfolded.
