A federal judge has ruled that Elon Musk must sit for a deposition to answer questions about his role in dismantling USAID, rejecting his legal team's attempt to avoid questioning under the apex doctrine. Musk Deposition Ordered By Federal Judge On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang issued an eight-page order requiring Musk, along with former acting USAID director Peter Marocco and State Department official Jeremy Lewin, to be deposed, reported Business Insider. Musk's attorneys had argued that as a high-ranking official, he could skip a deposition under the apex doctrine, but the judge disagreed. USAID Staff Cuts Under Scrutiny Chuang noted that it was unclear whether Musk and the others were "properly deemed to be high-ranking government officials" during the period when USAID was dismantled. He added that they failed to provide evidence explaining why the agency's headquarters and website were shut down. The lawsuit, filed by anonymous current and former USAID employees, challenges the decisions made by Musk and DOGE officials, the initiative responsible for the cuts. Other defendants include Secretary of State Marco Rubio, State Department official Kenneth Jackson, and DOGE administrator Amy Gleason. Musk’s Legal, Ukraine Starlink Controversies Altman defended the nonprofit structure and reminded Musk he had once suggested Tesla take over OpenAI. Musk later shared a summary of Ilya Sutskever's October 2025 deposition, alleging Altman created executive divisions and failed to dismiss key researchers, highlighting preexisting leadership rifts. At the same time, USAID faced criticism for failing to monitor 5,175 Starlink terminals sent to Ukraine. An internal report found nearly half ended up in Russian-controlled areas. The agency accepted higher misuse risks due to wartime conditions but failed to fully mitigate them. USAID partnered with SpaceX to deliver 1,508 purchased and 3,667 donated terminals, though the report did not examine whether they were u...

STORY: World stocks dropped again on Thursday (February 5) as they struggled to shake off a tech rout. Asian markets slumped, although European bourses saw a relatively level start. The region's tech stocks bounced roughly 2% following a 7% fall over the last two sessions. Investors have grown concerned about the rising costs of the AI boom for tech companies. Google-parent Alphabet shocked markets Wednesday with a capex spending plan of as much as $185 billion this year. That was 55% more than analysts expected. The update sent its shares down over 6% for a while. It also followed a 17% plunge in chipmaker AMD's stock to continue a massive tech selloff. It's wiped out almost $850 billion of market value this month. Investors will look out for further earnings from tech giant Amazon later Thursday While Europe also gets ready for a busy day of central bank meetings. Both the European Central Bank and Bank of England are expected to hold their rates steady. Elsewhere, precious metals also dived on Thursday to end two days of gains after last week's huge declines. Silver endured a 14% crash in the metals markets before scaling back somewhat. Gold was also down around 1.5%.

By Mike Dolan Feb 5 - What matters in U.S. and global markets today By Mike Dolan, Editor-At-Large, Finance and Markets Tech sector anxiety spread well beyond the battered software sector overnight, with chipmakers and mega-caps drawn into the slipstream of the latest bruising selloff. Advanced Micro Device’s 17% plunge took centre stage along with a 12% drop in Palantir shares. Alphabet's astonishing plan to double its capex spending this year - more than 50% above what analysts had expected - led to steep early losses that, while eventually pared back, still left the Google-parent in the red ahead of Thursday's open. I’ll get into that and more below. But first, check out my latest column on why the Federal Reserve may soon find it impossible to justify further rate cuts. And listen to the latest episode of the Morning Bid daily podcast. Subscribe to hear Reuters journalists discuss the biggest news in markets and finance seven days a week. SELLING BEGETS SELLING The week's full tableau suggests investors no longer see AI development and disruption as automatically positive for broad index investors. The technology’s threat to existing businesses has wiped almost $1 trillion off the value of the software sector in just one week. And when anxiety is high, selling sometimes begets selling. Heavy losses for AMD and Wall Street chipmaker indexes yesterday ripped through Asia markets overnight, and even South Korea's high-flying Kospi recoiled almost 4%. This wild volatility extended beyond equity markets, with bitcoin lunging close to $70,000 for the first time since the 2024 U.S. election, leaving it down more than 40% from last October's peaks. Precious metals also continued to swing violently, with silver falling up to 17% at one point overnight and still down 10% on the day. The mood in the equities market seems a little calmer heading into Thursday's bell, however, with Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures flat so far today. Investors will get Amazon's earnings after...

Amazon 's cloud leadership — and likely the next move in the stock — hinges on whether growth on that side of the business continues to reaccelerate. Custom AI chips are key to that effort. Investors widely view shares of Amazon, which also dominates in e-commerce, as driven primarily by the fortunes of its Amazon Web Services cloud unit, which generates a majority of the company's operating income. That makes AWS performance the single most important factor for Amazon's market value, which remains nearly $2.54 trillion despite being the worst Magificent Seven last year. And, AWS will be what Wall Street focuses on Thursday evening when Amazon reports its fourth quarter 2025 results and looks ahead to what to expect this year. A large part of Amazon's strategy to further ramp up AWS growth is its own artificial intelligence custom Trainium chips. Launched in late 2020, the latest version, Trainium3, was unveiled back in December at the AWS Re:Invent cloud conference. The Trainiums are designed in-house instead of relying solely on third parties. Amazon is not alone. Last week, Microsoft announced its next-generation custom AI chip, the Maia 200, roughly two years after the first iteration. Google has custom AI chips, called tensor processing units, which are getting a lot of attention since the November launch of Gemini 3 as the AI model to beat. Gemini 3 was trained by TPUs, which were co-designed by Broadcom . By building its own chips, Amazon, like its cloud competitors, aims to deliver on two key advantages when running AI workloads: lower computing costs for customers and lower electricity use for data centers. Both matter more than ever because AI models are getting larger and data centers are consuming record levels of electricity. According to AWS vice president David Brown, price performance, or how much compute a customer gets for every dollar spent, is now the key metric customers care about. "If they can find a chip and a processor that allows them to ge...

Q1 2026 Guidance The following outlook does not reflect the impact of the pending SPX FLOW acquisition, which was announced on December 5, 2025, and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026. We expect revenue growth of roughly 11%, up 5% on an organic basis; operating margin of approximately 18%, and adjusted operating margin greater than 18%, up approximately 100 bps; EPS of $1.67 to $1.71, and adjusted EPS of $1.68 to $1.72 vs. consensus of $1.6 1 . Starting in fiscal 2026, and following the expected close of the SPX FLOW acquisition, ITT will revise adjusted operating income and adjusted income from continuing operations to exclude acquisition-related intangible amortization expense in addition to previously excluded special items. This change reflects ITT’s ongoing portfolio transformation and is intended to provide a clearer view of core operating earnings while enhancing comparability with peers. Under the new definitions, fiscal 2025 adjusted operating income would increase by $47.3 million and adjusted EPS would increase by $0.46. More on ITT ITT Inc.

Just because you're allowed to do it doesn't make it a good idea. There's a reason it pays to save for retirement in an IRA. These accounts give you a couple of helpful tax breaks in the course of building a nest egg. First, contributions to a traditional IRA get to go in on a pre-tax basis. That allows you to shield some income from taxes. Also, investment gains in an IRA are tax-deferred, so you don't pay taxes until you're ready to take withdrawals. But there are some drawbacks to saving for retirement in a traditional IRA. First, you'll eventually be forced to take required minimum distributions. Secondly, you'll have to leave your balance alone until age 59 and 1/2 or otherwise risk a 10% early withdrawal penalty. There's an exception to that rule, though, for first-time homebuyers. In that case, you can take up to $10,000 out of your IRA at any age, and you won't be charged an unwanted penalty. But just because this option exists doesn't mean you should exercise it. The problem with using an IRA to buy a home Given today's home prices, it's easy to see why you may want to tap your IRA to come up with your down payment. But while taking a $10,000 IRA withdrawal might seem like an innocent enough move, it could end up backfiring in a serious way. First, if you're struggling to save for a home, to the point where you need your IRA to fund your down payment, you risk becoming a homeowner at a time when you don't have adequate emergency savings. That could put you at risk of debt if things break and you need to make repairs. Also, any money you remove from your IRA ahead of retirement is money you won't have available in retirement. And remember, when you take an early withdrawal, you lose out on the opportunity to grow that sum into more money. Let's say you have $50,000 in your IRA, and you take out $10,000 to buy a home. You might think, "Well, I'm leaving most of my retirement savings intact." But if your IRA delivers an 8% yearly return, which is a bit below t...
