After SpaceX raised a record $75 billion in its IPO, Musk’s net worth shot up to top $1.1 trillion when the stock began trading Friday, putting him in an economic class of his own.Combined with his holdings in electric vehicle maker Tesla, as well as other investments and assets, Musk's net worth is now estimated at about $1.1 trillion.Musk's stake in the rocket and satellite company alone is now estimated at a staggering $690 billion, but it's also a life-changing moment for thousands of workers at the company who hold equity.Investors who watched Musk help turn Tesla into an automotive giant are now betting he can do the same in space and artificial intelligence, as SpaceX launches the largest IPO in history.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Blackstone, the world’s largest private owner of data centers, will invest $5 billion in equity capital in a new artificial intelligence infrastructure company with Google, the New York-based asset management firm announced Monday.Google will supply the new U.S.-based company with its tensor processing units — chips purpose-built for processing artificial intelligence computations — bringing the first 500 megawatts of compute capacity online by 2027, with “plans to scale significantly over time,” Blackstone said in a statement.“This new company has enormous potential as it helps to meet the unprecedented demand for compute,” Jon Gray, President and COO of Blackstone, said in the statement.The unnamed company will be helmed by Benjamin Treynor Sloss, who most recently served as Google’s chief programs officer. A Google spokesperson declined to comment on whether Google would retain a direct leadership role in it.The Wall Street Journal, which first reported on the joint venture before Blackstone’s official statement, said the private equity giant would hold a majority stake, citing sources familiar with the matter.Blackstone did not disclose the venture’s ownership structure in its statement, and did not respond to CNBC’s request for comment by publication time.The Journal also reported that the joint venture has already identified likely data center locations, some of which are under construction.Blackstone, which manages more than $1.3 trillion in assets, has invested aggressively across the AI ecosystem and, earlier this month, established a similar venture with Anthropic.Shares of Alphabet and Blackstone rose by about 1% in pre-market trading on Tuesday.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Join us as we sit down with Kirsten Swanson, a 5 Eyewitness News investigative reporter. Kirsten walks through the newly obtained data showing DHS paid bonuses to program staff and eligibility specialists in the Housing Stabilization Services program and beyond, amid exploding Medicaid spending and ongoing fraud concerns.Also joining the conversation is DHS whistleblower Faye Bernstein, a 20-year veteran of the agency who has faced retaliation for sounding the alarm on fraud risks years ago. Faye shares her unfiltered take on the recent revelations of DHS handing out bonuses to staff overseeing fraud-riddled programs even as massive waste, improper payments, and red flags piled up. She explains why she believes some of these bonuses went to people who shouldn't have received them and what it says about priorities at the agency.From whistleblower retaliation to taxpayer dollars vanishing into questionable awards, this episode pulls back the curtain on how Minnesota's largest agency has handled (or mishandled) oversight during a time of record fraud losses.
