What did King Charles emphasize in his speech to Congress?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. The United Kingdom's King Charles acknowledged times of great uncertainty while addressing Congress today. His visits intended to emphasize that the bond between the UK and US can withstand political turmoil. NPR's Lauren Frayer reports.
The king is typically apolitical, but he gave a very political speech to Congress today. I mean, my phone has been blowing up with British friends cheering on their king for taking Trump to task, seemingly, on topic after topic. Here's part of what he said.
With a spirit of 1776 in our minds, we can perhaps agree that we do not always agree.
You know, while Trump has talked about Christian values, the king emphasized interfaith values and diversity. He also talked about the rise of fascism in the 1930s. He talked about the checks on executive power. Here's a little more.
America's words carry weight and meaning, as they have since independence. The actions of this great nation matter even more.
NPR's Lauren Frayer reporting. Elon Musk took the stand today in his lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman. Musk argues that the AI company has effectively abandoned its not-for-profit founding principles.
The case hinges on whether OpenAI's founding mission of creating AI as a nonprofit for the benefit of humanity has been lost. Musk helped found the company a decade ago, but he left in 2018 amid disagreements with Altman and others about who would run a for-profit arm of the company that would be set up to raise money. Musk testified about his role early on.
He says he recruited a key AI researcher and used his contacts at Microsoft and Nvidia to get access to computing power. And he says he wasn't opposed to setting up a for-profit entity, but he wanted control of it. In an opening statement, OpenAI's lead lawyer said the other founders were not okay with one person having control. Musk left, launched a competitor, XAI, and then sued.
The trial is set to run for several more weeks. John Rewich, NPR News, Oakland, California.
