Alex Wong/Getty Images News Elon Musk's lead attorney apologized to the jury for the Tesla ( TSLA ) CEO's absence for the closing arguments of his lawsuit against OpenAI co-founders Greg Brockman and Sam Altman, asserting that Musk still deeply cares about the case. “This is something he is passionate about,” Musk's lead counsel, Steven Molo, told the jury Thursday, according to CNBC . The case is being heard by a federal court in Oakland, Calif. Musk is currently in Beijing at a summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping that is expected to focus on trade issues between the countries. Musk is attending the event alongside several of the nation's most influential CEOs, including Apple's Tim Cook, Nvidia's Jensen Huang, Boeing's Kelly Ortberg, and Goldman Sachs's David Solomon. The judge had instructed Musk to make himself available to the court on short notice in case he was needed for any additional testimony. It was unclear if the court had granted Musk permission to leave the country for the trip, CNBC said. Both Altman and Brockman were in attendance for the trial's closing arguments on Thursday, CNBC noted. The Tesla and SpaceX ( SPACE ) CEO is suing OpenAI, Brockman, Altman, and OpenAI investor Microsoft ( MSFT ) for over $130B, claiming they misled him to believe OpenAI would remain a non-profit entity, dedicated to developing AI for the benefit of humanity, when he provided $38M in startup funding. The company was later converted into a for-profit entity, which Musk maintains was done so the defendants could enrich themselves. In addition to damages, Musk is also asking the court to remove Altman as CEO and Brockman as president of OpenAI and convert the company back to a non-profit entity. The defendants have countered that Musk was aware the company had been looking for ways to create a for-profit arm and walked away from the company's board after failing to gain full control of the project. They've also asserted that Musk ...

JHVEPhoto Shares of UnitedHealth ( UNH ) snapped a six-session winning streak on Thursday, closing down 0.59% at $ 398.8, with stock up 9.6% over the past seven sessions. The health insurer has climbed roughly 21% year to date, outperforming the broader SPX, which has gained about 8.75% over the same period. Seeking Alpha views UnitedHealth undervalued despite the recent rally, saying the company is well-positioned for long-term outperformance. The company posted solid double-beat quarterly results in April. UnitedHealth reported first-quarter revenue of $111.7B, up 2% from a year earlier and above estimates, while adjusted earnings per share of $7.23 beat expectations by $0.63. The company also raised its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS outlook to more than $18.25 from prior guidance of above $17.75. Optimists point to margin expansion from premium repricing, AI-driven cost savings, and plan restructuring. UnitedHealth’s medical care ratio improved to 83.9% from expectations of 85.5%, while management committed $1.5B toward AI investments to improve claims processing and administrative efficiency. While skeptics remain cautious about elevated medical loss ratios and reimbursement uncertainty, the company exited unprofitable Medicare Advantage markets and lost about 1M members. On Wall Street , 22 analysts are Buy and above, five analysts have given the stock a Hold recommendation, and only one recommended Strong Sell. Seeking Alpha analysts rate the stock Buy.

The Trump administration pledged $1.8 billion for the United Nations’ humanitarian arm and suggested more funds could be on the way, even as the White House withholds money to pressure the global organization over its priorities. US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz announced the commitment on Thursday to the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, known as OCHA, on top of $2 billion the US pledged in December. “These funds are for victims of natural disasters, for tsunamis, for earthquakes, for famine — people who are truly in critical need,” Waltz told reporters. He said OCHA has shown “clear commitment to reform” and was successful in deploying past contributions. Contributions to the agency are separate from mandatory payments to the broader UN. While the US is meant to fund 22% of the UN’s regular budget, the Trump administration has paid a fraction of what it owes — and has accrued roughly $2 billion in outstanding dues. On Thursday, Waltz said the amount owed by the US could be whittled down with “an additional, substantial tranche towards our regular budget” that was “coming soon.” The State Department’s Jeremy Lewin, the director of foreign assistance, said in a briefing the US “will exceed our assessed amount this year in UN regular budget contributions.” Read More: US Pledges $2 Billion to UN Humanitarian Affairs Amid Overhaul The Trump administration — which dismantled the US Agency for International Development and criticized the UN for focusing on issues such as gender — has praised OCHA for being a more efficient arm of the world body amid a broader effort to restructure US foreign aid spending. Waltz said the funds announced in December and on Thursday “will result in more cents on every dollar actually getting to people in need.” UN spokesperson Farhan Haq saying in a statement the money will “allow humanitarians to reach millions of people in the most urgent crises with lifesaving support.”

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick testifies during a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies hearing on February 10, 2026 in Washington, DC. Lutnick is facing bipartisan calls for his resignation after revelations that came to light in the latest release of Epstein files. Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images News | Getty Images House Democrats on Thursday demanded Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick 's resignation, alleging he publicly lied about his relationship with notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and refused to "come clean" during a subsequent closed-door interview . "The facts are clear: you lied to the American people and attempted to conceal your relationship with Jeffrey Epstein in your public statements," the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform's Democratic minority said in a letter to Lutnick . "Your lack of candor demonstrates that you are unfit to perform the duties required of you as secretary of Commerce, and you must step down immediately," read the letter signed by all 21 of the panel's Democratic members. Lutnick claimed in an interview last year that, following a visit to Epstein's Manhattan mansion shortly after he moved next door to him in 2005, he had "decided that I will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again." "So I was never in the room with him, socially, for business or even philanthropy," Lutnick said in that interview. "If that guy was there, I wasn't going, because he's gross." But after the Department of Justice's release of Epstein-related files showed continued ties between the two men years later, Lutnick admitted in a Senate hearing that he and his family had lunch on the disgraced financier's private island in 2012. Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to a state-level charge of soliciting a minor for prostitution, which required him to register as a sex offender. He died in a New York City jail in 2019 while facing federal sex-trafficking charges. ...
