As Elon Musk's Rift With Donald Trump Deepens, Former Google Executive Says MAGA And Tech World Can't Thrive Without Each Other - Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL)

Elon Musk's deepening feud with Donald Trump over massive federal spending has sparked warnings from tech leaders like David Friedberg, who say MAGA and Silicon Valley are too interdependent to afford a lasting political split.
As Tesla Inc. TSLA CEO Elon Musk continues to slam Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," the All-In Podcast panelists, including David Friedberg and Chamath Palihapitiya, caution that escalating tensions between MAGA and Silicon Valley could destabilize both political and technological progress. What Happened: On the July 4 episode of the All-In Podcast, the panel dissected the growing rift between Musk and Trump, sparked by the Tesla CEO's criticism of the tax and spending package that adds $3.8 trillion to the deficit. Friedberg, who was one of the early Alphabet Inc. GOOG GOOGL executives, defended Musk's frustration, saying, "We are in a debt-death spiral and they [critics of the bill] are absolutely correct. So I don't think that Elon is off the reservation when he makes those comments." See Also: Elon Musk's Tesla Must Embrace LiDAR To Scale FSD, Says Ross Gerber He spoke about the importance of government efficiency reforms Musk once pushed through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), noting, "Elon's right with respect to the spending." Friedberg warned, however, that mutual dependence between MAGA and tech is crucial. "I don't think MAGA can exist successfully without tech alignment. I don't think tech can exist without MAGA." "I don't think that these two can exist in isolation and in conflict with one another," he stated. Chamath Palihapitiya downplayed the feud, suggesting the alliance would hold. "I think the reality is that when push comes to shove, I think that they agree on more things and they probably disagree." Why It's Important: On Saturday, Musk announced on X, "Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom." The tech mogul also criticized the big beautiful bill's fiscal consequences, arguing that the U.S. had become "a one-party system, not a democracy." Trump fired back on Truth Social, ridiculing the idea of a Musk-led third party, calling it a "train wreck." The President said that the system isn't built for third parties and they only bring "Disruption & Chaos." Musk was one of Trump's largest donors for the 2024 campaign and had headed DOGE before stepping down in May.

Neanderthals ran 'fat factory' 125,000 years ago, study finds | Fox News
Neanderthals living 125,000 years ago in what is now modern-day Germany may have extracted and eaten fat from animal bones through an organized food preparation process that scientists describe as a "fat factory." While excavating the site of a former lake landscape called Neumark-Nord, archaeologists discovered thousands of bones from at least 172 large mammals, along with flint artifacts. The bones, which date back to an interglacial period in which Neanderthals lived, were from animals like red deer and horses, according to a study published on July 2 in Science Advances. While many of the bones that contained less bone marrow were spread out across the archaeological site, researchers observed that many of the marrow-rich bones were located in clusters — sites they call "fat factories." RARE CHRISTIAN CROSS AMONG SPECTACULAR 1,000-YEAR-OLD VIKING TREASURES FOUND BY METAL DETECTORISTS Researchers believe our extinct ancestors used tools to smash the bones into small fragments and then boiled them for hours. The grease, which then floated to the surface of the water, could be skimmed off the top and eaten — providing a calorie-dense food source for the archaic people. VIKING-ERA BURIAL SITE WITH ELITE FAMILY TREASURES AND GIFTS DISCOVERED, PLUS AN 'UNUSUAL CASKET' Prior to this, evidence of the practice had only dated back to 28,000 years ago, according to the research. "Neanderthals were clearly managing resources with precision — planning hunts, transporting carcasses, and rendering fat in a task-specific area," Dr. Lutz Kindler, the study’s first author, said. "They understood both the nutritional value of fat and how to access it efficiently — most likely involving caching carcass parts at places in the landscape for later transport to and use at the grease rendering site. MYSTERIOUS 'DUMPED' BODIES OF WOMAN AND CHILD FOUND BY ARCHAEOLOGISTS IN PICTURESQUE TOWN Fat was a "life-sustaining" resource for Neanderthals, especially during the winter and spring seasons when carbohydrates were scarce. Their diets consisted largely of animal protein, and consuming lots of protein without other nutrients could lead to a sometimes deadly condition called protein poisoning, the research noted. "The sheer size and extraordinary preservation of the Neumark-Nord site complex gives us a unique chance to study how Neanderthals impacted their environment, both animal and plant life," Dr. Fulco Scherjon, data manager and computer scientist on the project, said. "That’s incredibly rare for a site this old—and it opens exciting new possibilities for future research." In recent years, scientists have also discovered that Neanderthals went diving for seashells that they could chip with stone hammers into thin and sharp cutting edges. Similarly, another study suggested Neanderthals may have buried their dead with flowers.

New evidence suggests Neanderthals were rendering fat nearly 100,000 years before other early humans
**
The hunting and gathering activities of early humans required a high-calorie diet consisting of a variety of macronutrients—protein, carbohydrates, and fat. While hunting big-game animals—like deer, horses and animals in the bovine family—provided a large supply of calories all at once, much of these calories came in the form of protein. However, human and Neanderthal bodies have a limit on the amount of protein intake that the liver can handle.

Elon Musk And Bill Gates Rarely Agree—But They Do On Alcohol - Heineken (OTC:HEINY)
Benzinga
Two of the world's richest have similar opinions on when it's appropriate to consumer alcohol.
Bill Gates and Elon Musk are two of the richest men in the world and at times enemies who don't agree on much. When it comes to thoughts on drinking, the two may have more in common than they know. What Happened: A social media thread in 2023 by entrepreneur and investor Marc Andreessen caught the attention of Elon Musk. The thread called for the elimination of alcohol consumption. Here's what Musk had to say about alcohol and how Bill Gates factors into the sector. Andreessen shared in the Twitter thread that he stopped drinking alcohol six months earlier. "I feel much better, and I'm mad as hell about it. I never really drank through my 20s and 30s, but grew to really enjoy whiskey through my 40s, coincident with ‘Mad Men,' and roughly a thousand academic studies that proved that alcohol is actually good for you," Andreessen tweeted. Andreessen said his quote of "The perfect day is 10 hours of caffeine followed by 4 hours of alcohol" has been widely used and might still be true. "In recent years, it's become clear that most or all — probably all — of the scientific studies on the benefits of alcohol are fake, the scientists unwitting or witting victims of selection effects." Andreessen said he feels better since giving up alcohol and has gotten better sleep. Musk replied to the tweet with his own thoughts on alcohol. "Once you acknowledge that alcohol is poison, it's fine to drink a little. The trade is a small amount of health for an even smaller amount of fun, but that's not crazy to do once in a while with friends," Musk said. Musk called alcohol "a legacy drug" in his tweet. In a 2018 "ask me anything" on Reddit, Bill Gates said he wasn't much of a beer drinker. "I am not a big beer drinker. When I end up at something like a baseball game I drink light beer to get with the vibe of all the other beer drinkers. Sorry to disappoint real beer drinkers," Gates said at the time. Gates comments were in the news at the time with the billionaire investing in Heineken N.V. HEINY, one of the largest global brewers. Comments from both Musk and Gates suggest they only choose to drink when they are with friends or at social events, with the key being in moderation. You may not be a billionaire like Bill Gates or Elon Musk, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention. The Impact of Beer: Gates investment in Heineken drew mixed reactions due to his comments on beer and a study funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation that showed there are no benefits and only risks for young adults drinking alcohol. In 2022, a study of people under the age of 40 showed that drinking even two teaspoons of wine per day or two and a half tablespoons of beer per day could risk future health. The study was published in the Lancet medical journal, as reported by Fortune. Another research report published by the New York Times showed similar results that any amount of alcohol consumption can be harmful to health. The study found that alcohol damages DNA and can prevent the body from repairing the damage. This can lead to long-term health problems such as cancer. Other harmful items can include high blood pressure, coronary artery disease and liver disease. This article was previously published by Benzinga and has been updated.

| | ChatGPT users' privacy threatened by mass surveillance
Jul 6, 2025
**The New York Times wants your private ChatGPT history — even the parts you’ve deleted **
The Hill
Today it’s ChatGPT. Tomorrow it could be your cleared browser history or your location data. The precedent is terrifying.
Millions of Americans share private details with ChatGPT. Some ask medical questions or share painful relationship problems. Others even use ChatGPT as a makeshift therapist, sharing their deepest mental health struggles. Users trust ChatGPT with these confessions because OpenAI promised them that the company would permanently delete their data upon request. But last week, in a Manhattan courtroom, a federal judge ruled that OpenAI must preserve nearly every exchange its users have ever had with ChatGPT — even conversations the users had deleted. As it stands now, billions of user chats will be preserved as evidence in The New York Times’s copyright lawsuit against OpenAI. Soon, lawyers for the Times will start combing through private ChatGPT conversations, shattering the privacy expectations of over 70 million ChatGPT users who never imagined their deleted conversations could be retained for a corporate lawsuit. In January, The New York Times demanded — and a federal magistrate judge granted — an order forcing OpenAI to preserve “all output log data that would otherwise be deleted” while the litigation was pending. In other words, thanks to the Times, ChatGPT was ordered to keep all user data indefinitely — even conversations that users specifically deleted. Privacy within ChatGPT is no longer an option for all but a handful of enterprise users. Last week, U.S. District Judge Sidney Stein upheld this order. His reasoning? It was a “permissible inference” that some ChatGPT users were deleting their chats out of fear of being caught infringing the Times’s copyrights. Stein also said that the preservation order didn’t force OpenAI to violate its privacy policy, which states that chats may be preserved “to comply with legal obligations.” This is more than a discovery dispute. It’s a mass privacy violation dressed up as routine litigation. And its implications are staggering. If courts accept that any plaintiff can freeze millions of uninvolved users’ data, where does it end? Could Apple preserve every photo taken with an iPhone over one copyright lawsuit? Could Google save a log of every American’s searches over a single business dispute? The Times is opening Pandora’s box, threatening to normalize mass surveillance as another routine tool of litigation. And the chilling effects may be severe; when people realize their AI conversations can be exploited in lawsuits that they’re not part of, they’ll self-censor — or abandon these tools entirely. Worst of all, the people most affected by this decision — the users — were given no notice, no voice, and no chance to object. When one user tried to intervene and stop this order, the magistrate judge dismissed him as not “timely,” apparently expecting 70 million Americans to refresh court dockets daily and maintain litigation calendars like full-time paralegals. And last Thursday, Stein heard only from advocates for OpenAI and the Times, not from advocates for ordinary people who use ChatGPT. Affected users should have been allowed to intervene before their privacy became collateral damage. The justification for the unprecedented preservation order was paper-thin. The Times argued that people who delete their ChatGPT conversations are more likely to have committed copyright infringement. And as Stein put it in the hearing, it’s simple “logic” that “[i]f you think you're doing something wrong, you're going to want that to be deleted.” This fundamentally misapprehends how people use generative AI. The idea that users are systematically stealing the Times’s intellectual property through ChatGPT, then cleverly covering their tracks, ignores the thousand legitimate reasons people delete chats. Users share intimate details about their lives with ChatGPT; of course they clear their conversations. This precedent is terrifying. Now, Americans’ private data could be frozen when a corporate plaintiff simply claims — without proof — that Americans’ deleted content might add marginal value to their case. Today it’s ChatGPT. Tomorrow it could be your cleared browser history or your location data. All they need to do is argue that Americans who delete things must have something to hide. We hope the Times will back away from its stunning position. This is the newspaper that won a Pulitzer for exposing domestic wiretapping in the Bush era. The paper that built its brand in part by exposing mass surveillance. Yet here it is, demanding the biggest surveillance database in recorded history — a database that the National Security Agency could only dream of — all to win a copyright case. Now, in the next step of this litigation, the Times’s lawyers will start sifting through users’ private chats — all without users’ knowledge or consent. To be clear, the question of whether OpenAI infringed the Times’s copyrights is for the courts to decide. But the resolution of that dispute should not cost 70 million Americans their privacy. What the Times calls “evidence,” millions of Americans call “secrets.” Maybe you have asked ChatGPT how to handle crippling debt. Maybe you have confessed why you can’t sleep at night. Maybe you’ve typed thoughts you’ve never said out loud. Delete should mean delete. The New York Times knows better — it just doesn’t care. Jay Edelson has been recognized by Forbes as one of America's top 200 lawyers and by Fortune as one of the most creative people in business. His privacy cases have recovered over $1.5 billion for consumers nationwide.|

Trump: Musk's America Party 'ridiculous,' third parties have 'never worked' | Fox News
President Donald Trump slammed former first buddy Elon Musk for starting a third political party, saying such parties have "never worked" while also calling the move "ridiculous." Trump spoke with reporters before boarding Air Force 1 in Bedminster, New Jersey, when he was asked about Musk’s move to start a third party. "I think it’s ridiculous to start a third party," Trump said from the tarmac. "We have a tremendous success with the Republican Party. The Democrats have lost their way, but it’s always been a two-party system, and I think starting a third party just adds to confusion. "It really seems to have been developed for two parties," the president continued. "Third parties have never worked. So, he can have fun with it, but I think it’s ridiculous." ELON MUSK LAUNCHES ‘AMERICA PARTY’ AFTER TRUMP SIGNS HISTORIC SPENDING BILL: 'WASTE & GRAFT' Musk announced the launching of a new political party called the "America Party" on his social media platform X on Saturday. The entrepreneur called the formation of the party a direct response to a corrupt political establishment that no longer represents the American people. The announcement followed a viral July 4 poll on X, where Musk asked whether voters wanted independence from what he called the "two-party (some would say uniparty) system." ELON MUSK SAYS US IS RULED BY 'PORKY PIG PARTY' AS TRUMP DEFENDS HIS VISION AGAINST FORMER ALLY'S CRITICISM Over 1.2 million votes were cast, with 65.4% saying "yes." "By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it," Musk posted Saturday. "When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom." A short time after his gaggle with reporters, Trump turned to Truth Social to express concerns over Musk, while giving insight into what may have led to the two parting ways. "I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely ‘off the rails,’ essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks. He even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States - The System seems not designed for them," the president said. "The one thing Third Parties are good for is the creation of Complete and Total DISRUPTION & CHAOS, and we have enough of that with the Radical Left Democrats, who have lost their confidence and their minds! "Republicans, on the other hand, are a smooth running ‘machine,’ that just passed the biggest Bill of its kind in the History of our Country," Trump continued. "It is a Great Bill but, unfortunately for Elon, it eliminates the ridiculous Electric Vehicle (EV) Mandate, which would have forced everyone to buy an Electric Car in a short period of time." WOULD DONALD TRUMP HAVE WON THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WITHOUT ELON MUSK'S HELP? Trump said he has been "strongly opposed" to an EV mandate from the very beginning, and the new bill allows consumers to buy whatever type of vehicle they want, whether it is electric, gas, or hybrid-powered. "I have campaigned on this for two years and, quite honestly, when Elon gave me his total and unquestioned Endorsement, I asked him whether or not he knew that I was going to terminate the EV Mandate - It was in every speech I made, and in every conversation I had," Trump said. "He said he had no problems with that - I was very surprised!" Trump also said Musk asked a close friend of his to run NASA, but the president took issue with it when he found out that friend was a "blue blooded Democrat" who never contributed to a Republican. "I also thought it inappropriate that a very close friend of Elon, who was in the Space Business, run NASA, when NASA is such a big part of Elon’s corporate life," he said. "My Number One charge is to protect the American Public!" Musk chose to establish a new political party after expressing grave concerns with the president's "Big, Beautiful Bill," which was signed into law on Friday at the White House. The sweeping $3.3 trillion legislation includes tax cuts, infrastructure spending and stimulus measures and has drawn criticism from fiscal conservatives and libertarians. Though Musk did not reference the bill directly in his America Party posts, the timing suggests rising friction between the billionaire and the president. Musk has previously warned that unchecked spending by both parties threatens the long-term health of the economy. TRUMP NOT INTERESTED IN TALKING TO MUSK: 'ELON'S TOTALLY LOST IT' The new party, according to Musk’s posts, will target a few key seats in Congress. The goal is to create a swing bloc powerful enough to hold the balance of power and block what Musk sees as the worst excesses of both Republicans and Democrats. Third parties have traditionally had a difficult time gaining ground in American politics as the system is built for two dominant parties. With the Electoral College, winner-take-all elections and strict ballot access laws, outsiders cannot meaningfully compete. Even when a third-party candidate catches fire, it rarely lasts beyond a single election cycle. One of the biggest third-party efforts in recent history was Ross Perot’s 1992 run. He earned nearly 19% of the popular vote as an independent but didn’t win a single Electoral College vote. It was the closest a third-party candidate got to the White House after President Teddy Roosevelt's famed Bull Moose Party run in 1912 against his onetime protégé, William Howard Taft. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Others, like Ralph Nader, have tried with the Green Party, and Gary Johnson with the Libertarian Party, but no third-party candidate has come close to winning the presidency.
