    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    When Mark Zuckerberg exercised a huge batch of Facebook stock options in 2012 and 2013, the company counted billions of dollars of that payout as wages for research. That helped Facebook, now Meta (NASDAQ:META), claim about $355 million in federal tax credits, according to U.S. Tax Court filings.

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    When Apple sued OpenAI on July 10 for allegedly stealing its hardware secrets, it handed Elon Musk a fresh reason to go after Sam Altman — and this time the two billionaires' feud is playing out over companies that everyday investors can now actually own. Musk, an OpenAI co-founder-turned-rival who runs the newly public SpaceX and its xAI unit, pounced almost immediately.
