Who will be Trump's new Silicon Valley bestie?
Mark Zuckerberg, Meta Platforms founder and CEO Zuckerberg was something of a MAGA stan earlier this year. Meta, his company, dropped $1 million on Trump's inauguration, and Zuck even co-hosted a black-tie soirée that night to honor the second-time president. Now, with Meta in the throes of a federal antitrust lawsuit, Zuckerberg may not be on Trump's good side. But the Meta CEO could be playing the long game here: He snapped up a $23 million, 15,000 square-foot DC mega mansion, establishing more of a presence in the capital. Zuck has also been on a bit of a rebrand journey, from a hoodie-wearing founder to a gold chain-wearing CEO with unapologetic swagger. Part of this transformation has included podcast appearances, like an episode with Trump-endorsing Joe Rogan in which Zuck talked about his "masculine energy" and his proclivity for bowhunting. Sam Altman, OpenAI cofounder and CEO Altman has also been circling the throne. First came Stargate: the $100 billion AI infrastructure plan between OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank, announced the day after Trump's inauguration. Then, in May, the OpenAI CEO joined Trump on a trip to Saudi Arabia while Altman was working on a massive deal to build one of the world's largest AI data centers in Abu Dhabi. This reportedly rattled Musk enough to tag along at the last minute, according to the Wall Street Journal. OpenAI was ultimately selected for the deal, which Musk allegedly attempted to derail, the Wall Street Journal reported. Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and executive chairman, Washington Post owner, and Blue Origin founder Back in 2015, Bezos wanted to launch Trump into orbit after the at-the-time presidential candidate fired shots at Bezos on what was Twitter, now X, calling the Washington Post, which Bezos owns, a "tax shelter," Bezos responded that he'd use Blue Origin, a space company Bezos founded, to "#sendDonaldtospace." Times have certainly changed. In January, Bezos said he is "very optimistic" about the administration's space agenda. Behind the scenes, he has reportedly given Trump political advice, allegedly as early as the summer of 2024, according to Axios. There was a brief flare-up in April, though, after Amazon reportedly considered listing Trump's tariffs next to products' prices on the site, according to Punchbowl News. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called the plan a "hostile and political action." The idea, which was never implemented, was scrapped, and an Amazon spokesperson insisted it was only ever meant for its low-cost Haul store. If Trump does cancel Musk's SpaceX government contracts as he threatened to do, Bezos' Blue Origin, and rival to SpaceX, could stand to benefit. Blue Origin already has a $3 billion contract with NASA. Jensen Huang, Nvidia cofounder and CEO While Huang was notably missing from Trump's second inauguration in January, he did attend the Middle East trip in May. Nvidia is partnering with Oracle, SoftBank, and G42 on the OpenAI data center plans in the UAE. But Nvidia hasn't gotten off too easy: In April, Trump banned the chip maker from selling its most advanced chips, the H20, to China, a move that Nvidia says cost it $5.5 billion and reportedly prompted the company to modify the chip for China to circumvent US export controls. Sundar Pichai, Google CEO In April, a federal judge ruled that Google holds an illegal monopoly in some advertising technology markets. This is one of two major legal blows to Google in the past year: Back in August 2024, a federal judge ruled that Google violated antitrust law with its online search. If Google has to sell Chrome, Barclays told clients on Monday, Alphabet stock could fall 25%. This flurry of litigation — and potential divestment of the Chrome business — puts Pichai between a rock and a hard place. While the CEO was spotted with the rest of the technorati at Trump's inauguration, it's hard to say how he might cozy up to Trump, and whether friendly relations would do anything to remedy these rulings.

Cathie Wood Adds Elon Musk's Neuralink to ARK Fund as Trump Alliance Crumbles
ARKX just added Neuralink. Cathie Wood reposted it. And now the Musk- Trump feud has another wrinkle. Confident Investing Starts Here: On June 5, ARK Funds publicly announced that its ARK Venture Fund — ARKVX (ARKVX) — has invested in Neuralink, Elon Musk's brain-interface company, as part of its Series E funding round. The post, shared to X and reposted by Cathie Wood herself, ranks Neuralink as the fund's #2 holding, right behind SpaceX and ahead of OpenAI, xAI, and Anthropic. Neuralink is labeled 'NEW' on the portfolio chart. But what's not new is the growing friction between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Support for Musk as Trump Turns Cold? Cathie Wood didn't say anything when she reposted ARK's announcement, but the timing is hard to ignore. The Trump-Musk split has dominated headlines for days, with Trump reportedly calling Musk 'crazy,' threatening to cut federal contracts, and even considering selling his red Tesla as a public break with the billionaire. At the same time, here's one of Musk's most high-profile supporters, Wood, amplifying news of her fund backing Neuralink, an Elon-run company often viewed as his most speculative moonshot. So, is this a portfolio move — or a power statement? It's worth noting that Neuralink's Series E round hasn't been officially disclosed in terms of size, valuation, or lead investor. But ARK's decision to highlight the company so prominently, especially in the top three alongside SpaceX and OpenAI, sends a message: they're still betting on Elon. The Holdings Breakdown SpaceX Neuralink (new) OpenAI xAI Hammerspace Anthropic Lambda Labs That's four Elon-affiliated ventures (SpaceX, Neuralink, xAI, and OpenAI — he was a co-founder) in the top seven. And they're ahead of Anthropic and Lambda Labs, two rising players in the AI arms race that often compete directly with Musk's initiatives. No one's saying Cathie Wood is choosing Musk over Trump. But with Neuralink now sitting in ARKVX's #2 slot — and with Wood herself boosting the news — the investment world may be saying plenty without a single word.

Inside the Secret Meeting Where Mathematicians Struggled to Outsmart AI
On a weekend in mid-May, a clandestine mathematical conclave convened. Thirty of the world's most renowned mathematicians traveled to Berkeley, Calif., with some coming from as far away as the U.K. The group's members faced off in a showdown with a 'reasoning' chatbot that was tasked with solving problems they had devised to test its mathematical mettle. After throwing professor-level questions at the bot for two days, the researchers were stunned to discover it was capable of answering some of the world's hardest solvable problems. 'I have colleagues who literally said these models are approaching mathematical genius,' says Ken Ono, a mathematician at the University of Virginia and a leader and judge at the meeting. The chatbot in question is powered by o4-mini, a so-called reasoning large language model (LLM). It was trained by OpenAI to be capable of making highly intricate deductions. Google's equivalent, Gemini 2.5 Flash, has similar abilities. Like the LLMs that powered earlier versions of ChatGPT, o4-mini learns to predict the next word in a sequence. Compared with those earlier LLMs, however, o4-mini and its equivalents are lighter-weight, more nimble models that train on specialized datasets with stronger reinforcement from humans. The approach leads to a chatbot capable of diving much deeper into complex problems in math than traditional LLMs. To track the progress of o4-mini, OpenAI previously tasked Epoch AI, a nonprofit that benchmarks LLMs, to come up with 300 math questions whose solutions had not yet been published. Even traditional LLMs can correctly answer many complicated math questions. Yet when Epoch AI asked several such models these questions, which were dissimilar to those they had been trained on, the most successful were able to solve less than 2 percent, showing these LLMs lacked the ability to reason. But o4-mini would prove to be very different. [Sign up for Today in Science, a free daily newsletter] Epoch AI hired Elliot Glazer, who had recently finished his math Ph.D., to join the new collaboration for the benchmark, dubbed FrontierMath, in September 2024. The project collected novel questions over varying tiers of difficulty, with the first three tiers covering undergraduate-, graduate- and research-level challenges. By February 2025, Glazer found that o4-mini could solve around 20 percent of the questions. He then moved on to a fourth tier: 100 questions that would be challenging even for an academic mathematician. Only a small group of people in the world would be capable of developing such questions, let alone answering them. The mathematicians who participated had to sign a nondisclosure agreement requiring them to communicate solely via the messaging app Signal. Other forms of contact, such as traditional e-mail, could potentially be scanned by an LLM and inadvertently train it, thereby contaminating the dataset. The group made slow, steady progress in finding questions. But Glazer wanted to speed things up, so Epoch AI hosted the in-person meeting on Saturday, May 17, and Sunday, May 18. There, the participants would finalize the final batch of challenge questions. Ono split the 30 attendees into groups of six. For two days, the academics competed against themselves to devise problems that they could solve but would trip up the AI reasoning bot. Each problem the o4-mini couldn't solve would garner the mathematician who came up with it a $7,500 reward. By the end of that Saturday night, Ono was frustrated with the bot, whose unexpected mathematical prowess was foiling the group's progress. 'I came up with a problem which experts in my field would recognize as an open question in number theory—a good Ph.D.-level problem,' he says. He asked o4-mini to solve the question. Over the next 10 minutes, Ono watched in stunned silence as the bot unfurled a solution in real time, showing its reasoning process along the way. The bot spent the first two minutes finding and mastering the related literature in the field. Then it wrote on the screen that it wanted to try solving a simpler 'toy' version of the question first in order to learn. A few minutes later, it wrote that it was finally prepared to solve the more difficult problem. Five minutes after that, o4-mini presented a correct but sassy solution. 'It was starting to get really cheeky,' says Ono, who is also a freelance mathematical consultant for Epoch AI. 'And at the end, it says, 'No citation necessary because the mystery number was computed by me!'' Defeated, Ono jumped onto Signal early that Sunday morning and alerted the rest of the participants. 'I was not prepared to be contending with an LLM like this,' he says, 'I've never seen that kind of reasoning before in models. That's what a scientist does. That's frightening.' Although the group did eventually succeed in finding 10 questions that stymied the bot, the researchers were astonished by how far AI had progressed in the span of one year. Ono likened it to working with a 'strong collaborator.' Yang Hui He, a mathematician at the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences and an early pioneer of using AI in math, says, 'This is what a very, very good graduate student would be doing—in fact, more.' The bot was also much faster than a professional mathematician, taking mere minutes to do what it would take such a human expert weeks or months to complete. While sparring with o4-mini was thrilling, its progress was also alarming. Ono and He express concern that the o4-mini's results might be trusted too much. 'There's proof by induction, proof by contradiction, and then proof by intimidation,' He says. 'If you say something with enough authority, people just get scared. I think o4-mini has mastered proof by intimidation; it says everything with so much confidence.' By the end of the meeting, the group started to consider what the future might look like for mathematicians. Discussions turned to the inevitable 'tier five'—questions that even the best mathematicians couldn't solve. If AI reaches that level, the role of mathematicians would undergo a sharp change. For instance, mathematicians may shift to simply posing questions and interacting with reasoning-bots to help them discover new mathematical truths, much the same as a professor does with graduate students. As such, Ono predicts that nurturing creativity in higher education will be a key in keeping mathematics going for future generations. 'I've been telling my colleagues that it's a grave mistake to say that generalized artificial intelligence will never come, [that] it's just a computer,' Ono says. 'I don't want to add to the hysteria, but in many ways these large language models are already outperforming most of our best graduate students in the world.'
