Trump, Musk hint at reconciliation

The Big Story President Trump said he thinks he could make amends with tech billionaire Elon Musk, while the Tesla CEO voiced regrets over his public clash with the president. © AP Photo/Evan Vucci Less than a week after the blowup between the two men that grew increasingly dramatic as Musk called for Trump's impeachment and linked him to the Jeffrey Epstein files, the president appeared open to making peace. However, he also suggested that doing so is not a priority for him. 'I guess I could, but you know, we have to straighten out the country,' the president told the New York Post's 'Pod Force One.' 'And my sole function now is getting this country back to a level higher than it's ever been. And I think we can do that. I think we're going to do it easily.' When asked if there was anything he could do to forgive Musk, the president said he has 'no hard feelings' but was surprised by his former top adviser's public criticism of the House-passed tax and spending bill. 'When he did that, I was not a happy camper,' Trump said. Musk earlier on Wednesday also voiced regret for his public feud with the president, saying that it 'went too far' on his social media platform X. The Hill's Alex Gangitano has more here.

Essential Reads How policy will be impacting the tech sector now and in the future: Trump, Musk spoke ahead of 'regret' post amid reconciliation talk: Reports President Trump spoke on the phone with tech billionaire Elon Musk late Monday night, according to multiple reports, as allies of both men had urged them to reconcile their feud that exploded last week with a torrent of social media barbs. The New York Times first reported on the call.

The Senate voted Wednesday to advance legislation setting up a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, bringing the crypto bill one step closer to a final vote in the upper chamber. Eighten Democrats voted with almost every Republican to end debate on an updated version of the GENIUS Act. The new bill text was reached as part of lengthy negotiations between Republicans and crypto-friendly Democrats last month, ahead of an earlier procedural vote on the Senate floor. The vote breakdown was largely similar to the May vote, although the bill picked up support from Sens. John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.) and Andy Kim (D-N.J.) while Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.) switched her vote to oppose the measure. Blunt Rochester had supported the bill both in the Senate Banking Committee in March and on the Senate floor last month. She voiced some hesitation Tuesday about Senate leadership's decision to forgo an open amendment process on the GENIUS Act, emphasizing she hoped to see additional changes to the bill. 'I was really clear,' she told The Hill. 'I hoped that there would be an open amendment process, and that's what I heard Leader Thune say around last month, so I will take a look at this language, and we'll make a decision from there.' Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) ultimately scrapped the push for so-called 'regular order,' as controversial amendments — most notably, Sen. Roger Marshall's (R-Kan.) Credit Card Competition Act — threatened to upend support for the bill. The GENIUS Act likely faces a handful more votes before it can clear the Senate and head to the House. Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) told The Hill on Tuesday that she expects a final vote on the bill next week.

Microsoft Installs Emergency Update On Windows PCs

Emergency update is now being installed. Another month, another emergency update for Windows users. After issuing several out-of-band updates to address update fails in May (1,2), here we are again in June. Only now, 'this OOB update downloads and installs automatically,' Microsoft says. Per Windows Latest which was first to report the initial problem and the response, this follows the June update failing to install on some PCs, primarily those with Easy Anti Cheat gaming software. 'As we suspected, something seemed odd with Windows 11 24H2 KB5060842 when Microsoft had paused the rollout briefly.' That interlude allowed a patch to be applied to the standard update, but this didn't work. Instead Microsoft withheld the update from affected PCs, which will now receive the emergency update instead. 'Windows users likely didn't experience this issue,' the Windows-maker says, because the standard update was not offered to at-risk PCs. According to Windows Latest, users had reported that 'the update showed up, but kept failing with the message: 'Some update files are missing or have problems. We'll try to download the update again later. Error code: (0x80073712)'.' Microsoft then confirmed 'compatibility issues' and applied a fix. But when the fix also failed, 'Microsoft made the final call to yank the buggy patch (KB5060842) because it wouldn't install, and replace it with [the new emergency update] KB5063060.' It's now clear this 'major issue' with June's Patch Tuesday 'causes PCs to reboot unexpectedly when launching games using Easy Anti-Cheat, such as Fortnite.' The emergency replacement for the Patch Tuesday update includes all cumulative fixes as well as the compatibility workaround. Microsoft says the OOB update 'downloads and installs automatically from Windows Update and Microsoft Update on devices with Easy Anti-Cheat installed and on devices that have not installed KB506842 yet.'

Fervo Energy lands $206M in financing to build massive geothermal power plant

Geothermal frontrunner Fervo Energy said Wednesday that it had secured $206 million in financing to continue work on a new power plant in Utah. The startup is developing what promises to be the largest enhanced geothermal power plant in the world. The initial phase of Cape Station is expected to come online next year and produce 100 megawatts of electricity, and a subsequent expansion set to open in 2028 will add another 400 megawatts. Enhanced geothermal, which runs deeper and hotter than traditional geothermal, has become a favored technology in the quest to find new power sources for AI data centers. By tapping the Earth's heat, geothermal promises to provide 24/7 power without emissions. It doesn't hurt that it relies on skills pioneered by the oil and gas industry, something that likely helps its standing within the Trump administration. The news comes the day after Fervo announced that it had completed its hottest and deepest well to date. The company said it drilled down 15,765 feet in 16 days, and the temperature at the bottom of the well is expected to stabilize at around 520°F. Drilling time represents a large share of geothermal power plant costs, which is why startups have been racing to see who can drill deeper and faster. Fervo's results have unlocked a new spigot of cash. The financing announced today includes $100 million in project-level preferred equity from Breakthrough Energy Catalyst, the project finance arm of Bill Gates' Breakthrough Energy group. Mercuria, which had previously provided a $120 million loan, provided another $60 million to that facility. And an X-Caliber Rural Capital affiliate contributed $45.6 million in bridge debt financing. The startup has been on a fundraising tear lately. Fervo raised $244 million in February 2024 and another $255 million in December that was split between equity and debt. Energy secretary Chris Wright was at the helm of Liberty Energy when the company invested in Fervo in 2022. The increasing amounts of debt are a sign that investors feel that enhanced geothermal has passed through the commercial valley of death and is ready for widespread commercial adoption.
