Read previewNews that Elon Musk met with Donald Trump on Sunday raised the obvious question: Is Trump, who needs money, going to get some from one of the world's richest men? Absolutely not, says Elon Musk on Wednesday:That settles that. Just to be super clear, I am not donating money to either candidate for US President This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. In 2022, Elon Musk said he was acquiring Twitter shares as a "passive" investor — and then bought the whole company. Or maybe Musk thinks he's crafted a clever tweet about "not donating money to either candidate for US President," and what he really means is he is "not donating RIGHT NOW."

☆ A phone call between Trump and conservative tech billionaire Peter Thiel reportedly turned 'pretty contentious'
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-25 | by ( Haley Tenore | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Tech investor Peter Thiel had a heated phone call in recent months with Donald Trump, Puck reported. Thiel's public support for Trump wavered in recent years, and apparently, Trump noticed. Apparently, Trump was "fuming" because the former president had supported Thiel-backed candidates like J.D. Thiel even left Facebook's board of directors to give his full attention to supporting Republican candidates, including mentees J.D. A year later, however, Peter Thiel took a step back from politics and no longer planned to support candidates in 2024.

Regeneron’s drug Eylea is used to treat retinal diseases. Leonard Schleifer , the longtime Regeneron boss, likes to point out that, unlike many giant drug companies gaming the healthcare system with all kinds of gimmicks, his biotech focuses on true innovation. The Tarrytown, N.Y.-based company has certainly developed therapies that have made a difference for patients suffering from difficult-to-treat illnesses. More recently, it was catapulted into the national spotlight during the pandemic thanks to its monoclonal antibody infusion for Covid-19.

☆ The house that helped secure Sam Bankman-Fried's $250 million bail package reportedly sits on land his parents leased from Stanford
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-31 | by ( Sindhu Sundar | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Sam Bankman-Fried's parents lease the land for their home from Stanford, the LA Times reports. They'd put up the $4 million home as collateral for the former FTX CEO's $250 million bail release. Bail terms are about flight-risk rather than if collateral can cover the full amount, legal experts said. The revelation once again prompts questions about how and why courts set bail terms, which are meant to ensure that a defendant doesn't flee while awaiting trial. Prosecutors are now also arguing that Bankman-Fried's bail restrictions must go further, and impose limits on whom he communicates with and how.

Sam Bankman-Fried's lawyer said the ex-crypto mogul and his parents had been subjected to harassment and threats. This includes a recent "security incident" at his parents' Bay Area home, the lawyer said. "Recently, the Bankman-Frieds had a security incident at their home when a black car drove into the metal barricade set up outside their home," Everdell wrote. "This incident underscores the risk to the Bankman-Frieds' privacy and security," he said. In a filing from January 3, attorney Mark Cohen had said that Bankman-Fried's parents "have become the target of intense media scrutiny, harassment, and threats."

Musk tweeted Wednesday FTX would still be ok if SBF was as good at leadership as at 'bribing media'. He was responding to a tweet which questioned whether SBF will continue to fund certain media outlets. Musk has been hitting out at the media after reports surfaced SBF may still own a stake in Twitter — which Musk robustly denied. He seemed to be referring to FTX investing in media outlets during the three years that Bankman-Fried, or SBF, was CEO. SBF/FTX do not own shares in Twitter," Musk tweeted Wednesday.
