Is OpenAI looking for a government bailout if things go wrong? Elon Musk gets a $1 trillion pay package to build an entirely new Tesla, and Amazon sues perplexity. That's coming up on a Big Technology Podcast Friday edition right after this. Welcome to Big Technology Podcast Friday edition where we break down the news. In our traditional, cool-headed and nuanced format, we have a great show for you, a big show for you today, because we're going to talk all about this big controversy over OpenAI potentially requesting a backstop of its debt from the federal government or not.

Some disputed reports on that, but we have a point of view. Elon Musk also won a $1 trillion pay deal that obviously goes in different steps, but is uh has finally been passed by Tesla's uh shareholders and Amazon has sued perplexity putting the bot internet into question. Joining us as always on Friday to do it is Ronjan Roy of Margins. Ronjon, good to see you. Who knew that the biggest socialism story of the week?
