Read previewPeter Thiel, the right-wing tech billionaire who's known for his contrarian views, is making another unusual prediction: The 2024 election won't be close. But he also argued that the last two presidential elections may have been historical aberrations in terms of how close they were. You know, most presidential elections aren't," Theil said. He went on to claim that if the election is indeed close, Harris and Democrats will "cheat" via ballot harvesting and election rule changes. When pressed on how he would change US elections, Thiel said he'd prefer to see just one day of voting, "practically no" absentee ballots, and stronger voter ID laws.

Elon Musk said OpenAI has become a "maximum-profit," closed-source firm "effectively controlled by Microsoft." The billionaire said this is not what he "intended" when he co-founded the company in 2015. Musk wrote in response: "OpenAI was created as an open source (which is why I named it "Open" AI), non-profit company to serve as a counterweight to Google, but now it has become a closed source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft. The company announced a partnership with Microsoft the same year and welcomed a $1 billion investment from the tech giant. Speaking at the 2023 World Government Summit in Dubai this week Musk said "we need to regulate AI Safety."
