From Bloomberg Markets and Finance.

Meta Platforms will double capital spending to as much as $135 billion this year, an all-in bet on artificial intelligence as the US tech giants battle it out for supremacy in the next wave of technological advancements.
Tesla will spend $20 billion this year on pursuits including AI, self-driving vehicles and robotics – almost double Wall Street estimates — and plow another $2 billion into Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk’s xAI startup. Musk also said Tesla needs to build its own semiconductor factory.

Today’s guests: Kim Crawford, JPMorgan Asset Management, Global Rates Portfolio Manager; Giulia Pellegrini, Allianz Global Investors, Emerging Markets Portfolio Manager; Tiina Lee, Citi, UK CEO; Liam Fox, Former UK International Trade Minister and Former UK Defence Minister.
