TechCrunch reports that the high-profile upheaval,
combined with Microsoft's major 49% stake in
OpenAI, has garnered the attention of regulators.
At the close of 2023, the Competition and Markets Authority launched an investigation aimed
at deciding if OpenAI and Microsoft are in a , "relevant merger situation.".
Last fall, Germany's Federal Cartel Office
(FCO) concluded that the business arrangement
was not "currently" subject to merger control.
If Microsoft were to increase its
influence on OpenAI in the future,
it would have to be re-examined
whether a notification obligation

Iran has launched a missile strike on Be’er Sheva, directly targeting what it claims is a Microsoft office embedded in Israel’s top cyber-military infrastructure. The attack follows a prior strike on Soroka Hospital, as Tehran escalates pressure on what it calls “aggression-supporting” entities. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claim the targeted site is part of an IDF-linked intelligence and AI network. Israeli officials report no fatalities, but the impact on tech and defense collaborations could be massive. Who really works inside this cyber zone? What are the implications of Iran striking private tech targets?

Assassinations, Jihad Attacks On U.S. Officials – Including Trump, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth And Their Families - Elon Musk And His Companies, U.S. Military, Microsoft, And Targeting Jews In America And Europe: 'There Are No Red Lines.' Al-Awlaki urged Muslims to revive the "tradition of assassinations," describing it as the "greatest form of Jihad today." He said the targets should be the "leaders of apostasy," whom he labeled "Jewish Arabs," specifically naming the leaders of Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf states.
He appealed directly to military personnel in Arab countries, calling on them to take action. He said Arab pilots should strike "the Jews," U.S. military bases in the region, and American aircraft carriers. At the very least, he said, they should attack the palaces of Arab leaders, describing these as the "initial steps" that must be taken.
Al-Awlaki claimed there are 4.5 million Muslims in the United States and said that they should carry out acts of retaliation without hesitation, stating: "Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans." Speaking over images of Manhattan skyscrapers, he said that the list of targets should be "effective," and declared: "There are no red lines."

As Trump pledges 10 Patriot missiles to Kyiv, the EU is preparing a massive €100 billion support plan for Ukraine, potentially the largest in the war. Framed as the final phase against Putin’s forces, the package—slated to begin in 2028—would blend grants and soft loans tied to reforms. Proposed under the EU’s next seven-year budget, it signals long-term Western backing. Moscow decries the move as NATO-driven escalation, warning it exposes the EU’s dependency on U.S. strategy.
