Elon Musk will have to face court charges of running a "years-long harassment campaign" against OpenAI after a judge refused his request to dismiss the case.
US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled on Tuesday that Musk would face allegations of weaponized legal claims and continued social media attacks against his former business colleague-turned-rival Sam Altman, and the artificial intelligence company that they co-founded together, which produces ChatGPT.
Musk asked for the counterclaim, which was filed in April, to be dismissed, as the latest stage in a legal battle between Musk and Altman over the management of OpenAI, which Musk departed from in 2019.

Claude's new ‘learning modes' take on ChatGPT's Study Mode — here's what they do
Anthropic is giving Claude an upgrade that's perfect for students heading back to school and life-long learners eager for new ways to expand their knowledge. Starting today (August 14), users will get access to new learning modes, tools designed to make the AI a helpful study partner and teacher. Similar to ChatGPT's Study Mode, this new upgrade means that users can look to Claude to guide them through the learning process, rather than simply giving users the answer. That means students can dig deeper into complex concepts and junior developers can see the thought process behind working code; users can even write parts of it themselves. Now, users will see a new preset called Learning in the style dropdown. Select it, and Claude switches to a Socratic approach; asking questions, challenging user assumptions and overall helping users figure out the answers with step-by-step guidance. Anthropic first tested this back in April, but now it's rolling out to everyone. The goal with this launch is to help students of all ages and ability build critical thinking skills and true comprehension, instead of memorizing quick answers. For developers, Claude Code is getting two distinct learning modes: To enable them, update Claude Code to the latest version, run /output-styles, and pick Default, Explanatory or Learning. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. This is part of a broader shift in AI design: moving from automation to augmentation. Instead of replacing your effort entirely, Claude's new learning modes blend productivity with personal growth, letting you work faster while actually getting better at the task at hand. Following last week's launch of Opus 4.1 and automated security reviews, Anthropic is clearly positioning Claude beyond a problem solver. For anyone who's ever wanted AI to help them think, this could be the feature that makes it click. Claude's new learning modes mark a shift from AI as a shortcut to AI as a skill-builder. By combining guided discovery with real-time collaboration, Anthropic is positioning its assistant as more than just a productivity tool to a study partner, coding coach and critical thinking trainer. With ChatGPT already pushing into similar territory, this move makes it clear that the next big AI race is about how well these tools can help you learn and develop your own skills along with the help of AI.

Ron DeSantis Touts Cheaper Price Tag at 'Deportation Depot' Facility
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration is moving forward with plans to open a second immigration detention center—this one dubbed the "Deportation Depot"—at a state prison in north Florida. The announcement comes as a federal judge weighs the future of the state's first such facility, a controversial holding center for immigrants at an isolated airstrip in the Florida Everglades, known as "Alligator Alcatraz." On Thursday, DeSantis announced that the new detention facility will be housed at the Baker Correctional Institution, located about 43 miles west of downtown Jacksonville. State officials said the site is expected to hold 1,300 immigration detention beds, with the potential to expand capacity to as many as 2,000. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and US President Donald Trump speak to reporters as Trump arrives at Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport in Ochopee, Florida, on July 1, 2025.

AFP/Getty Images The governor argued that the expansion is necessary to meet the needs of the federal government under President Donald Trump's administration. "There is a demand for this," DeSantis said. "I'm confident that it will be filled." Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has praised Republican-led efforts to increase immigration detention capacity nationwide, describing Florida's partnership as a potential model for other state-run facilities. DeSantis emphasized that repurposing an existing state prison offers significant savings compared to building from scratch. He estimated the build-out cost for the Baker site at $6 million—far less than the hundreds of millions of dollars the state has committed to the sprawling network of tents and trailers at the Everglades facility. "This part of the facility is not being used right now for the state prisoners. It just gives us an ability to go in, stand it up quickly, stand it up cheaply," he said, calling the location "ready-made." According to Kevin Guthrie, director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management—the agency overseeing construction—it could take two to three weeks to get the Baker site operational. The prison has been closed since 2021, when the state announced plans to shutter it temporarily due to chronic staffing shortages. "A building that's been dormant now for a couple of years is going to have some unforeseen challenges," Guthrie noted. Among the necessary upgrades: installing air conditioning, which is not required in Florida prisons despite the state's sweltering heat. Staffing for the new facility will be handled by the Florida National Guard and state contractors "as needed," DeSantis said. The Guard has previously been deployed to assist with staffing Florida's prisons and is now supporting the state's immigration enforcement initiatives. Before settling on the Baker location, DeSantis had suggested placing the second facility at Camp Blanding, a Florida National Guard training site about 30 miles (48 kilometers) southwest of Jacksonville. The historic military installation served as a major U.S. Army training facility during World War II and now functions as a "continuity of government" site for Florida's executive branch. While Camp Blanding has some air capacity, DeSantis said it was not ideal. "Blanding does have air capacity, but probably not a big enough runway to handle large planes," he explained, adding that Baker's proximity to a regional airport made it a better choice. The governor promised that detainees at the new site will receive "the same services" available at the Everglades facility. Meanwhile, conditions at "Alligator Alcatraz" are under intense scrutiny. Attorneys representing detainees have described the environment as deplorable, claiming that individuals with COVID-19 symptoms are not being isolated, rainwater regularly floods tents, and officers pressure detainees to sign voluntary removal orders before they can consult with attorneys. "Recent conditions at Alligator Alcatraz have fueled a sense of desperation among detainees," lawyers wrote in a court filing. The concerns were outlined in a Wednesday filing ahead of a Monday hearing before U.S. District Judge Rodolfo Ruiz. Civil rights attorneys are asking the judge to guarantee detainees confidential access to legal counsel—something they say has been denied—and to designate an immigration court with jurisdiction over the facility. Attorneys claim they are often told that no federal immigration court in Florida has jurisdiction over detainees held at the Everglades site, complicating efforts to file petitions for bond or release. The judge's decision could influence not only the operation of the current facility but also the future of the state's expanded detention network.

How Trump's commercial spaceflight executive order could benefit SpaceX, Elon Musk
SpaceX and Elon Musk just notched a significant win with President Donald Trump's latest executive order. Trump on Wednesday, Aug. 13, signed an executive order that eases many federal regulatory restrictions on commercial spaceflight companies in the U.S. Though SpaceX is not mentioned by name in the order, the commercial spaceflight company perhaps stands to gain the most from the move due to its many lucrative government contracts and active launch cadence in the U.S. The order also comes more than two months since Trump and Musk had a very public feud over a spending bill that led to a falling-out between the once-close allies – and threats that could have hampered U.S. spaceflight ambitions. Here's everything to know about Trump's commercial spaceflight executive order, as well as SpaceX's long battle with government regulators. Trump signs executive order on commercial rocket launches Trump's order directs the U.S. transportation secretary to eliminate or expedite environmental reviews for launch appovals administered by the Federal Aviation Administration, which licenses commercial rocket launches. The declaration further calls on the secretary to do away with "outdated, redundant or overly restrictive rules for launch and re-entry vehicles," the White House said in a statement provided to Reuters. Trump's order states that it is imperative to increase commercial rocket launches in the U.S. to "ensure that new space-based industries, space exploration capabilities, and cutting-edge defense systems are pioneered in America rather than by our adversaries." Interestingly, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, whose title is referenced several times in the order, was appointed in July as interim administrator of NASA. Following the news, Duffy praised Trump in a post on social media site X calling the order "visionary." "We're launching into the final frontier and this EO makes it possible for the U.S. to lead the world from earth travel to space travel," Duffy said in the post. Order could ease environmental regulations for SpaceX missions The executive order would directly benefit private spaceflight companies like Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, both of which conduct the bulk of their operations in Texas. But SpaceX, which Musk founded in 2002, likely stands to gain the most from the relaxed regulatory environment. The commercial rocket launch company leads the way in U.S. spaceflight missions by routinely conducting Starlink satellite deployments using its Falcon 9 rocket from both California and Florida. SpaceX's Falcon 9, one of the world's most active rockets, is also the vehicle of choice for NASA when the space agency sends astronauts to the International Space Station. What's more, the SpaceX Crew Dragon Capsule perched atop the rocket is the only U.S. vehicle capable of transporting astronauts to the orbital laboratory. SpaceX additionally benefits from billions of dollars in contracts from not only NASA, but the Department of Defense by providing launch services for classified satellites and other payloads. Trump's order comes as SpaceX prepares to launch its massive 400-foot Starship rocket again in August from its Starbase headquarters in South Texas, near the U.S.-Mexico border. Musk has also oft-stated his commitment to increasing the cadence of test missions for the spacecraft after receiving key regulatory approval. The launch vehicle, regarded as the world's largest and most powerful rocket, is set to serve a pivotal role in future U.S. spaceflight. Starship is the centerpiece of Musk's vision of sending the first humans to Mars, and is also critical in NASA's plans to return astronauts to the moon's surface. Elon Musk, SpaceX have battled regulations for years Trump's executive order is undoubtedly a huge win for Musk, who has spent years pushing back on federal regulations he views as "superfluous." In September 2024, the FAA announced a proposal to hit SpaceX with $633,009 in civil penalties for what the agency claims were failures by the company to follow license requirements ahead of two separate launches in 2023. In response, Musk took to his social media site X to indicate his plans to sue the agency for "regulatory overreach." The FAA has previously said in a statement to USA TODAY that it seeks to balance spaceflight progress with the need to ensure commercial launches are safely conducted. A record 148 FAA-licensed commercial space operations took place in 2024, up by more than 30% from the year prior, the agency has noted. But when it comes to Starship's development, SpaceX has become known for its risk-tolerant philosophy. Musk has stressed that rapid and frequent testing that sometimes leads to explosive ends can still provide data that helps engineers improve the vehicle's design. Environmental groups, others long oppose SpaceX rocket launches That aggressive approach, though, has rankled environmentalists and others who have criticized SpaceX's operations for potentially decimating regional ecosystems. The South Texas Environmental Justice Network, which has long opposed Musk and his space program, most recently issued a statement in May condemning the FAA for approving SpaceX's request to increase its Starship flight tests to 25 a year. In late June, Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum threatened to sue SpaceX if investigators determined that Musk's spaceflight company had contributed to undue pollution and marine life die-off in the country. The announcement came after the fiery mishap earlier in the month caused debris to fall in the Mexican state of Tamaulipa.
