Ahead of the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum at The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, President Trump received Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at The White House for a meeting and a star-studded dinner with dozens of business leaders including Tim Cook and Elon Musk. Nvidia’s third quarter earnings are looming over markets this week, particularly after the company’s investment in Anthropic, alongside Microsoft. Chief economics commentator for The Wall Street Journal Greg Ip compares today’s AI revolution to the dotcom bubble of the 1990s. He argues that the energy is different nowadays: it’s “joyless” instead of optimistic, and the public is now more suspicious of innovation. Plus, Tom Freston co-founded MTV and served as CEO of both MTV and Viacom. The veteran media executive discusses his new memoir “Unplugged” and MTV’s legacy in music and storytelling.
