The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is suing Apple for religious discrimination and retaliation.

The WSJ notices that the AI industry has an “underpants gnomes” theory of profit.

Current AI spending means the industry needs $2 trillion in annual revenue by 2030, according to estimates from Bain & Co. That’s “more than five times the size of the entire global subscription software market,” write Eliot Brown and Robbie Whelan. But there’s a plan: 1. Build data centers. 2. ???? 3. Profit.

He’s already handing out free passes on chip tariffs and security concerns if chipmakers make him look good or pay a possibly illegal export tax. Now, he apparently wants chipmakers to “manufacture the same number of semiconductors in the U.S. as their customers import from overseas producers.” WSJ reports:

Under the new system, if a company pledged to build one million chips in the U.S., it would essentially be credited with that amount over time so the company and its customers could import until its plant was completed without paying tariffs, the people said.
