Amid widespread opposition to Paramount’s $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros., multiple US states are reportedly working together to fight the merger. According to a report, California and New York are among states preparing a lawsuit to block the deal.

The deal has faced scrutiny since it was announced back in February, when Paramount officially beat out Netflix in its attempt to buy Warner Bros. following multiple bids. California Attorney General Rob Bonta in particular has voiced concerns about the potential consequences, saying in a statement at the time, “Further consolidation in markets that are central to American economic life does not serve our economy, consumers, or competition well. In fact, consolidation of markets has led to increased unaffordability, a loss of good-paying job opportunities, and fewer choices for consumers.” Bonta added that the deal “must receive a full and robust review,” and said the state is “committed to fighting market consolidation that we find unlawful.”

We don’t know yet what other states are involved in the lawsuit alongside California and New York. But according to ‘ source, the suit is expected to be filed within the coming weeks.

Google has just signed a $30 billion AI deal with SpaceX, which owns Elon Musk’s xAI. According to a SpaceX filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, it will receive$920 million a month from Google in exchange for computing power from xAI’s data centers, starting inOctober this year untilJune 2029.

The agreement will give Google access to 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs, as well as CPUs and memory. SpaceX wrote that if it fails to deliver access to that number of GPUS bySeptember this year, Google could either terminate their deal immediately or accept the number of GPUs provided at a reduced payment rate after a one-month grace period.

Since Google has its own global network of data centers and continues to build more, you may be wondering why it has to pay SpaceX for more computing power. Well, a Google Cloud spokesperson told CNBC and The New York Times that this is but “a short-term, timely agreement” to ensure that the company has “bridge cacity to meeting the surging demand” for Gemini Enterprise, its AI subscription for large businesses.

Google isn’t its only competitor in the AI space that SpaceX is selling computing power to. The Musk-owned company also has a contract with Anthropic, giving the latter access to xAI’s Colossus 1 data center. According to the documents SpaceX filed for its Initial Public Offering, Anthropic will pay it $1.25 billion a month through May 2029. SpaceX is expected to go public on June 12 and to raise enough money to make it the biggest IPO in history.
