ThePressCo. Season 1 Episode 50

This weekend’s watchlist is packed:

TikTok’s U.S. spinoff gets Trump’s stamp, but at a shockingly low $14B valuation. Who’s really winning here?
Elon Musk sues OpenAI and drags Apple into the fight.
Amazon agrees to a $2.5B FTC settlement over “dark patterns.”
Intel scrambles for survival, asking Apple and TSMC for backup.
Trump slaps new tariffs on drugs, furniture, and trucks—ripples ahead for pharma, consumers, and supply chains.
Boeing brings Palantir AI into missiles, satellites, and jets.
Plus: RFK’s chaos at HHS, Tylenol–autism fallout, and a possible government shutdown.

And because life is bigger than markets and politics, it’s Week 4 of football: rivalries, rhythm, and my Ohio State Buckeyes! Go BUCKS!
