I just published a new investigation into Donald Trump’s taxes.
A teaser: The president has stiffed a lot of people over the years. His next, and largest, victim will probably be the U.S. government.
Full story below.

Binance's $6.3B hack has reached Wall Street. The Fed and OCC are now checking U.S. banks for weak spots.
The attackers never broke the code. They used a fake job interview. Experts say banks face the same risk as they get ready to issue stablecoins on January 18.

1/ I'll explain exactly how this happened because I'm the person at Forbes who calculates these numbers.
This is going to take some unraveling, but here's a spoiler: The president's answer here is nonsense.

With this week's blue wave, Congress is set to become very hostile territory for Elon Musk.
But will lawmakers truly be able to rein him in when U.S. national security depends on SpaceX?

AI billionaires including OpenAI's Greg Brockman, Anthropic's Dario Amodei and VCs Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz poured nearly $150 million into the midterms. Most of the candidates they backed won, even as some of their biggest bets failed. @Forbes

So all the money Elon blew on the midterms didn't seem to do him much good. I break down his spending decisions and results, race-by-race:

Years ago, Vivek Ramaswamy bet on Trump’s comeback—and, like fellow Yale Law grad J.D. Vance, remade himself in Trump’s image.
Last night’s election results show the costs of that bargain.
My deep dive, with on-the-ground reporting from Ramaswamy's 2023 campaign.

I spoke with founders across Silicon Valley about their relationship with Anthropic. Across the board, founders agree Anthropic's models are among the best, but some say the company can be "difficult" to work with as it's less flexible on pricing.

1/ Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz’s fortunes have jumped thanks to smart investments in OpenAI, SpaceX and more. Now they’re spending $90M+ to elect AI-and-crypto-friendly politicians who’ll back policies that will make them even richer.

NEW: A week ago, Apollo Global Management's chief economist Torsten Slok warned that “productivity returns for firms on their AI investments are either arriving far slower than projected or failing to materialize at all.” For good measure, he added on Saturday that AI has delivered “zero financial payoff” to corporate America outside Big Tech, citing new data.
Forty-eight hours later, Apollo announced it was leading a $40 billion chip-financing commitment for SpaceX. And that wasn’t even the day’s largest AI investment news: Blackstone and a group of banks unveiled a $63 billion package for Anthropic to purchase chips from Broadcom.
The juxtaposition of Slok’s words against Apollo’s actions captures a growing tension on Wall Street: doubts about AI’s economic payoff are mounting, even as private-capital giants continue to commit tens of billions of dollars to the infrastructure powering the boom.
