3174651	无图 <p>香港文匯報訊（記者嚴鍇華）國際級電競賽事「BLAST Premier」將於今年11月首度來港舉行，總決賽由11月12日起、一連5天在亞洲國際博覽會館舉行，當中14日至16日的賽事設有現場觀眾。主辦方預料3天賽事可吸引3.3萬人次到場觀賽。合辦活動的中國香港電競總會形容，今次活動是香港電競史上最大規模的世界比賽，對香港電競發展意義非凡，相信活動能夠吸引不少遊客來港消費，促進香港旅遊業。</p> <p>由中國香港電競總會與BLAST共同主辦的「BLAST Premier Hong Kong Rivals 2025」，為「BLAST Premier 」系列2025年度的收官之戰，也是首個獲得香港特區政府「M」品牌認可的電競體育賽事。今次盛事為全球知名射擊遊戲《絕對武力2》（CS2）的電子競技比賽，屆時將有8支全球頂尖戰隊齊聚香港，當中不乏來自歐洲、北美、南美的選手，爭奪總值100萬美元獎金，賽事亦會以超過30種語言於全球逾100個地區轉播。</p> <p>吸歐洲內地電競愛好者觀賽消費</p> <p>主辦方BLAST首席商務官Leo Matlock表示，今次賽事將吸引歐洲、內地和香港的電競愛好者前來觀賽，預料每日將有逾1.1萬人次到場。他認為香港擁有專業設備舉行國際電競賽事，是個很好的比賽地方，直言若活動反應理想，希望未來繼續在香港舉行電競賽事。</p> <p>中國香港電競總會主席兼會長周啟康表示，以往在香港舉行的電競賽事大多為邀請賽，今次活動為正規的世界賽，也是本港電競史上規模最大的正規世界比賽，對香港電競發展有着非凡意義。他續說，過去香港曾舉辦不少大型電競賽事，故對業界充滿信心，認為有足夠經驗舉辦賽事。由於《絕對武力2》（CS2）在內地相當有名，他估計會吸引不少遊客來港旅遊刺激消費。</p> <p>中國香港電競總會創會會長楊全盛透露，主辦方曾考慮在其他城市舉行比賽，但由於香港特區政府近年積極推動盛事活動，加上香港有完善的基礎建設，交通及旅遊配套亦頗為方便，故成功爭取賽事落戶香港。他認為今次活動在籌備過程中會製造大量就業職位，有助推動電競產業鏈的發展，未來吸引更多大型國際賽事來港舉行。</p> <p> 讀文匯報PDF版面 </p> 國際級電競賽11月落戶港料吸3.3萬人次觀戰 - 香港 - 香港文匯網	查看 1021	《旗帜报》	2025-06-12 04:28:36 2025-06-12 09:41:49	word

3174648	无图 <p>中國社會科學院西亞非洲研究所、中國非洲研究院研究員賀文萍對香港文匯報表示，今次發布的《長沙宣言》主題就是「維護全球南方團結合作」，在特朗普發起的貿易戰背景下尤其重要。目前，美國利用關稅戰劍指全球，甚至連非洲這些發展本就滯後的國家也毫無商量地掄起「關稅大棒」，其對非洲最不發達國家實施的關稅普遍超過10%，其中對萊索托的關稅竟然高達50%。</p> <p>賀文萍指出，反觀中國，我們自去年12月1日起，對45個最不發達國家（含非洲33國）實施零關稅政策，與美國的貿易保護主義形成鮮明對比。自去年12月1日政策啟動至今年3月，中國自非洲最不發達國家進口額達214.2億美元，同比增長15.2%。</p> <p>此外，《長沙宣言》提到要深入落實「十大夥伴行動」，要通過商簽共同發展經濟夥伴關係協定等。賀文萍指出，與特朗普搞貿易戰不同，中國作為全球南方最大的發展中國家，始終向廣大的發展中國家敞開市場的大門，歡迎非洲的優質產品進入中國。</p> <p>今年中非經貿博覽會規模再創新高</p> <p>《長沙宣言》中還提到，當前單邊主義、保護主義、經濟霸凌亂象頻出，是中國和非洲在內的全球南方國家必須應對的迫切挑戰。賀文萍認為，未來更需要中非用團結、確定性和韌性，來面對世界上正在發生的不確定性。</p> <p>就在中非合作論壇成果落實協調人部長級會議的次日（12日），第四屆中非經貿博覽會啟幕。今年博覽會規模再創新高。截至6月5日，已有52個非洲國家、9個國際組織、27個國內省區市報名參會，參展參會企業達4,700餘家。</p> <p>賀文萍稱，該博覽會始於2019年，即便在疫情期間也未曾停擺，當時稱之為「永不落幕的博覽會」。她認為，這體現出中國高度重視非洲發展以及與中國之間的經貿合作。正如王毅外長所講，非洲是全球南方最集中的一個大陸，在去年的中非合作論壇峰會時也曾提到，中國要與非洲攜手推進現代化，而中非現代化的步伐，將引領全球南方現代化的實現。 ●香港文匯報記者朱燁北京報道</p> <p> 讀文匯報PDF版面 </p> 【專家解讀】中國敞開大門歡迎發展中國家優質產品 - 內地 - 香港文匯網	查看 954	《旗帜报》	2025-06-12 04:29:17 2025-06-12 09:41:49	word

3174640	无图 <p>香港文匯報訊（記者孫曉旭）中美就貿易爭端達成框架性協議，市場對此看法謹慎樂觀。其中瑞銀財富管理亞太區投資總監辦公室（CIO）發表報告，該行預期貿易方面風險仍將持續存在，但市場將越來越習慣這種高風險的談判氛圍。該行亦預測，美國對中國的整體關稅今年底或升至約15%，高於年初的2.5%，但若加計現有特別關稅措施，實際有效稅率將穩定在30%至40%區間。</p> <p>美國短期難找到稀土供應替代</p> <p>該行認為，從更廣泛來看，美國最近幾周已明確表示希望加快協議達成速度，對於投資者而言，雙方再次努力穩定美中關係、避免在非關稅議題上的持續升級，這無疑是一個積極信號，該行亦認為白宮已釋出可在科技管制上妥協的訊號。</p> <p>該行提到，在中美元首早前通話不久後，中國當局據稱已解決影響稀土出口的「出口管制積壓」問題，並向關鍵美國企業提供許可證，據報一些歐洲公司在歐盟游說後獲得出口許可，這表明中國願意戰略性地運用其在關鍵礦產上的主導地位，適時施壓或緩解壓力。該行亦認為中國必須權衡不要過度刺激貿易夥伴加速建立替代的稀土供應鏈，美國雖然正努力尋找多元化稀土供應來源，但要在中國以外地區建立產能將耗時多年，且成本高昂、難度大。</p> <p>儘管貿易政策波動可能持續影響市場，但該行認為投資者對相關消息的反應已趨於理性，市場對相關消息的敏感度已有所降低。該行料中美會談可能聚焦於出口管制議題，預計美國將放鬆部分技術限制，特別是晶片設計軟件（EDA）的出口管制，而低端AI晶片的限制也可能放寬，但高端AI晶片仍將維持嚴格管控。中國稀土政策方面，該行預期中國將逐步放寬近期的稀土出口限制，但新的集中化供應控制與追蹤系統可能擴大實施，並可能根據需要定期收緊以重新掌握主動權。</p> <p>該行建議投資者利用短期波動，逐步布局股市或平衡型投資組合。亞洲股市方面，該行偏好中國台灣與印度股市及內地科技股。倘中國持續嚴格控制稀土出口，本土電動車製造商及其供應鏈或受益。</p> <p> 讀文匯報PDF版面 </p> 瑞銀：中美努力穩定關係股市逢低布局 - 財經 - 香港文匯網	查看 945	《旗帜报》	2025-06-12 04:44:06 2025-06-12 09:41:49	word

3174635	无图 <p>So, which Californians got 6.5% raises last year?</p><p>One of my recent columns detailed federal employment statistics that showed the average weekly wage statewide jumped by $114 to $1,872 in 2024’s fourth quarter compared with 12 months earlier. By the way, that was the fifth-largest pay hike among the states and topped the nation’s 5% rise to $1,507.</p><p>Some of my readers wondered who’s getting these big pay hikes.</p><p>First, remember that an economic yardstick usually tells you the typical outcome. That’s useful for watching widespread business patterns across industries or geographies.</p><p>Your unique personal experience, however, is likely different than what any index might show. And this wage yardstick, built as an average, can have some dramatic swings.</p><p>Still, when my trusty spreadsheet looked into the 29 large California counties that were tracked by these federal job stats, geographic clues emerged about who was getting the bigger pay hikes.</p><p>Eight counties had weekly wage increases last year above or just near the 6.5% statewide average. This group, primarily located around the Bay Area, was compared with the eight counties with the most disappointing pay patterns, a more geographically diverse group.</p><p>Those big-raise counties averaged 12.6% wage jumps in the past year, nearly five times greater than the 2.6% increases where pay hikes were slimmest. Looking at a map, you can guess that Silicon Valley’s mercurial compensation habits are part of this divided paycheck performance.</p> <p> </p>Size matters<p>The big-raise counties also are larger job markets, with 3.7 million workers vs. 2.3 million where raises were less generous. But curiously, job counts dropped in the big-raise counties, off 0.2% in the year, while increasing 0.8% in the bottom eight.</p><p>The technology industry’s recent travails, again, are a likely factor behind this divergence. As Silicon Valley trimmed its collective payrolls, tech bosses are still willing to pay up for key talent. Elsewhere in the state, bosses focused on adding more “affordable” staff.</p><p>Why? Consider the salary chasm on its own.</p><p>The big-raise counties’ average weekly wage is $3,000 vs. $1,345 for low-raise spots. Highly compensated workers were clearly the raise winners.</p><p>And another hint was which type of boss was more generous – those who operate larger businesses. Big-raise counties averaged 12 workers per employment establishment compared with 9.5 jobs in shops where raises were less robust.</p><p>So, the wage stats strongly suggest that late 2024’s most significant raises went to the well-paid folks who remain employed at larger workplaces located in or near the Bay Area.</p><p>And in an era with pesky inflation headaches, California’s varied wage gains – especially, the bigger raises for the bigger paychecks – are one of the forces nudging up economic anxieties statewide.</p>The winners<p>Here are the eight counties with the biggest raises in average weekly wages in the 12 months ending in 2024’s fourth quarter, ranked by pay increases …</p><p>Santa Clara: 15% rise in a year – No. 1 nationally of 363 U.S. markets tracked – to $4,236 a week.

Its demise follows the Chapter 11 filing last week of Solar Mosaic LLC, one of the biggest lenders in the rooftop solar market.</p>Related Articles California"s energy reform bills pursue "affordability" California"s energy reform bills pursue "affordability" Groups head to California Supreme Court, seeking to upend solar rules Seven ways Trump’s tax and spending bill could affect Californians Walters: Democratic gubernatorial candidates avoid attacking state oil industry <p>And it’s not just home solar firms running into trouble: Since January, businesses have canceled or delayed more than $14 billion in clean energy and electric vehicle investments, according to a recent analysis by E2, a non-partisan group that advocates for renewables and policies to protect the environment.</p><p>Clean energy’s financing struggles arrive at a critical time for the US power industry. Utilities are rushing to meet growing demand from data centers running artificial intelligence applications. Advocates for solar, wind and batteries say those resources are faster — and cheaper — to deploy compared with traditional generation sources. But the Trump administration’s support for fossil fuels is putting renewables’ grip on the market at risk.</p><p>The outlook for the residential solar industry is especially bleak. US House Republicans have advanced a bill that would end federal tax credits for solar panels offered in former President Joe Biden’s landmark climate law. Losing those incentives – which are now being debated in the US Senate – would decimate the home solar market and are already freezing investments, analysts and executives have said.</p><p>The ripping away of tax credits in the House bill “will eliminate at least half of the market for residential solar energy,” Roth Capital Partners analyst Phil Shen wrote in a research note.</p><p>The troubles for Sunnova, one of the country’s largest home-solar firms, started before Trump came into office. The company took on a pile of corporate debt, much of it convertible to shares, that it wasn’t able to pay off after sales softened. Efforts to cut costs and streamline the business fell short. And the possible end of federal support made potential investors skittish about the company’s prospects.</p> <p> </p><p>The rooftop solar sector “has a long history of companies getting into financing trouble,” said Joe Osha, an analyst at Guggenheim Securities. “This whole business model is predicated on this ability to raise capital, put stuff on people’s roofs and create a stream of cash flow to satisfy third-party capital providers and leave something left for the company.”</p><p>Sunnova’s corporate borrowing came at a time when the outlook for solar was rosier. In 2023, the company also got a $3 billion partial loan guarantee from the Biden administration to support solar loans to disadvantaged homeowners. Most of that loan was canceled before Sunnova filed.</p><p>But sluggish sales and delayed payments to its dealers eroded confidence in the company. In March, Sunnova’s founder and Chief Executive Officer John Berger stepped down after the company warned that it may not be able to remain in business. Prior to the bankruptcy filing, the shares had plunged more than 90% since the start of the year, leaving it with a market cap of $27.5 million.</p><p>“They got tripped up on leverage,” said Julien Dumoulin-Smith, an analyst for Jefferies LLC. “And it’s a volatile business.”</p><p>The bankruptcy filings for Sunnova and Solar Mosaic were just the latest from rooftop companies with national scope. Last year, one of the most prominent names in solar, SunPower Corp., filed for Chapter 11.</p><p>Years before, SolarCity was bought by Tesla Inc. after amassing a large amount of debt.</p><p>Sunnova’s strategy of chasing growth over cash generation hit turbulence when interest rates rose and California, the biggest home solar market, slashed subsidies two years ago, Osha said.</p><p>More stories like this are available on bloomberg.com</p><p>©2025 Bloomberg L.P.</p> <p>Originally Published: <time>June 10, 2025 at 7:47 AM PDT</time></p> Solar bankruptcies show US clean energy industry is teetering on the brink – Silicon Valley	查看 4575	硅谷新闻网	2025-06-10 08:16:11 2025-06-12 09:38:20	word

He was 74.</p><p>In a Facebook post, his family said the cause was pancreatic cancer.</p>Related Articles Apple’s macOS Tahoe to be final operating system to work on Intel Macs The biggest updates Apple just announced for the iPhone, Apple Watch and other major products Apple heads into annual showcase reeling from AI missteps, tech upheaval and Trump’s trade war Apple to launch iOS 26, macOS 26 in major rebrand tied tosoftware redesigns Apple to debut dedicated gaming app within days of Switch 2’s arrival <p>Atkinson programmed QuickDraw, a foundational software layer used for both the Lisa and Macintosh computers. Composed of a library of small programs, it made it possible to display shapes, text and images on the screen efficiently.</p><p>The QuickDraw programs were embedded in the computers’ hardware, providing a distinctive graphical user interface that presented a simulated “desktop,” displaying icons of folders, files and application programs.</p><p>Atkinson is credited with inventing many of the key aspects of graphical computing, such as “pull-down” menus, and popularizing the “double-click” gesture, which allows users to open files, folders and applications by clicking a mouse button twice in succession, an innovation invented by Tim Mott at Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center in California.</p><p>Before the Macintosh was introduced in January 1984, most personal computers were text-oriented; graphics were not yet an integrated function of the machines. And computer mice pointing devices were not widely available; software programs were instead controlled by typing arcane commands.</p><p>The QuickDraw library had originally been designed for Apple’s Lisa computer, which was introduced in January 1983. Intended for business users, the Lisa predated many of the Macintosh’s easy-to-use features, but priced at $10,000 (almost $33,000 in today’s money), it was a commercial failure.</p><p>A year later, however, QuickDraw paved the way for the Macintosh graphical interface. It was based on an approach to computing that had been pioneered during the 1970s at the Palo Alto facility by a group led by computer scientist Alan Kay. Kay was trying to create a computer system that he described as a Dynabook, a portable educational computer that would become a guiding light for Silicon Valley computer designers for decades.</p> <p> </p><p>Xerox kept the project secret, but Dynabook nevertheless ultimately informed the design of the Lisa and the Macintosh. In an unusual agreement, Xerox gave Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and a small group of Apple engineers, including Atkinson, a private demonstration of Kay’s project in 1979.</p><p><p><img srcset="https://www.siliconvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/SJM-L-OBATKINSON-05-0610.jpg?w=620 620w,https://www.siliconvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/SJM-L-OBATKINSON-05-0610.jpg?w=780 780w,https://www.siliconvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/SJM-L-OBATKINSON-05-0610.jpg?w=810 810w,https://www.siliconvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/SJM-L-OBATKINSON-05-0610.jpg?w=1280 1280w,https://www.siliconvalley.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/SJM-L-OBATKINSON-05-0610.jpg?w=1860 1860w"><p>Bill Atkinson’s PhotoCard APP, showcases his two talents by combining great software design and stunning imagery.

As a result, the Apple engineers had to make assumptions about the Xerox technology, leading them to make fundamental technical advances and design new capabilities.</p><p>In “Insanely Great,” a book about the development of the Macintosh, Steven Levy wrote of Atkinson, “He had set out to reinvent the wheel; actually he wound up inventing it.”</p><p>Atkinson’s programming feats were renowned in Silicon Valley.</p><p>“Looking at his code was like looking at the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel,” recalled Steve Perlman, who as a young Apple hardware engineer took advantage of Atkinson’s software to design the first color Macintosh. “His code was remarkable. It is what made the Macintosh possible.”</p><p>In an early Apple commercial for the Macintosh, Atkinson described himself “as a cross between an artist and an inventor.”</p><p>He was also the author of two of the most significant early programs written for the Macintosh. One of them, MacPaint, was a digital drawing program that came with the original Macintosh. It made it possible for a user to create and manipulate images on the screen, controlling everything down to the level of the individual display pixel.</p><p>Ordinary users without specialized skills could now create drawings, illustrations and designs directly on a computer screen. The program introduced the concept of a “tool palette,” a set of clickable icons to select simulated paintbrushes, pens and pencils.</p><p>MacPaint had a significant impact in helping to transform computers from business and hobbyist systems into consumer products that could be marketed as tools to enable individual creativity.</p><p>After the introduction of the Macintosh, while under the influence of a modest dose of LSD, Atkinson conceived of a program that would weave text, images and video seamlessly in a simple-to-use database. That experience would lead to Apple’s HyperCard software, a forerunner of the World Wide Web.</p><p>The program, first conceived independently by computer pioneers Ted Nelson and Douglas C. Engelbart, was intended to allow nonprogrammers to easily compile information that would be interconnected by digital links known as hypertext.</p><p>After a visit with Engelbart while he was designing his system, Atkinson added command-key shortcuts to offer users more computing power after they learned to use pull-down menus.</p><p>In 1985, while sitting on a park bench near his home in Los Gatos, California, Atkinson peered up at the stars in the night sky and then looked at the streetlights that surrounded him. He decided that the various lights were like pools of knowledge separated by great distances and remaining unconnected.</p><p>“I thought if we could encourage sharing of ideas between different areas of knowledge, perhaps more of the bigger picture would emerge, and eventually more wisdom might develop,” he wrote in Mondo 2000, a Silicon Valley magazine published in the 1980s and ’90s. “Sort of a trickle-up theory of information leading to knowledge leading to wisdom.”</p><p>William Dana Atkinson was born March 17, 1951, in Ottumwa, Iowa, the third of seven children of John Atkinson, an anesthesiologist, and Ethel Dana Atkinson, an obstetrician. He grew up in Los Gatos.</p><p>At age 10, after Bill was given a subscription to Arizona Highways magazine, he began cutting out nature photographs and placing them on his bedroom wall. That led to a lifetime passion for nature photography and eventually a second career as a commercial and artistic photographer. A 2004 book, “Within the Stone,” presented his close-up photographs of stones that had been cut and polished.</p><p>Atkinson was studying for a doctorate in neurobiology at the University of Washington when Jobs persuaded him to become the 51st employee at Apple. He decided to leave school after Jobs told him, “Think how fun it is to surf on the front edge of a wave, and how not-fun to dog paddle on the tail edge of the same wave.”</p><p>During the early 1980s, when Jobs was leading a small group of young software and hardware designers to create the Macintosh computer, he and Atkinson were virtually inseparable. But when Jobs was forced out of Apple in 1985, leading him to create a new computer company called Next, Atkinson declined to leave with him, citing his commitment to the HyperCard project.</p><p>Jobs did not take rejection easily, and their relationship chilled for a number of years.</p><p>Atkinson worked on HyperCard as a contractor and stipulated that the product initially be distributed with the Macintosh at no extra cost.</p><p>In the late 1980s, the computer industry was awash with interest in building lighter, more portable machines. In 1989, Atkinson, along with Andy Hertzfeld, another former Macintosh developer, and Marc Porat, a Stanford University-educated economist who had recently joined Apple, persuaded Apple’s CEO at the time, John Sculley, to help fund a startup that they named General Magic. The company developed a handheld computer in competition with the Newton, an internal Apple project.</p><p>Both projects would eventually fail commercially, but they are widely viewed as the forerunners of Apple’s wildly successful iPhone and iPad products, introduced after Jobs returned to Apple.</p><p>Atkinson left General Magic in 1996 and worked independently on a number of projects, including one for Numenta, an early artificial intelligence company.</p><p>He was married three times. He is survived by his wife, Jingwen Cai, two daughters, a stepson, a stepdaughter, two brothers and four sisters.</p><p>Atkinson almost did not survive to see the introduction of the Macintosh. On his way to work one morning, he was in a crash in which the top of his sports car was sheared off. He was taken unconscious to a hospital. A police officer at the scene said Atkinson had been lucky not to have been decapitated.</p><p>Jobs raced to the hospital, where he found Atkinson alert. “Is everything OK?” he asked, according to an account by Hertzfeld. “We were pretty worried about you.”</p><p>Even in a hospital bed, though, Atkinson’s mind was on software, specifically a key aspect in the design of the QuickDraw system.</p><p>“Don’t worry, Steve,” he said, “I still remember how to do regions.”</p><p>This article originally appeared in The New York Times.</p> <p>Originally Published: <time>June 10, 2025 at 11:00 AM PDT</time></p> Bill Atkinson dies at 74; Apple pioneer made computers easier to use – Silicon Valley	查看 18081	硅谷新闻网	2025-06-10 11:36:31 2025-06-12 09:38:20	word

In the last block before Market Street, the complaint says, a Waymo car pulled to the curb, adjacent to the bike lane. A backseat passenger on the driver’s side “suddenly and without warning opened the rear door” into the cyclist’s path.</p><p>As the cyclist attempted to take evasive action, a second Waymo car, also attempting to pull to the curb, crossed into the bike lane, “eliminating plaintiff’s opportunity to safely maneuver,” the complaint says.</p><p>The bike hit the first car’s open door, ejecting the cyclist, and she was thrown into the passenger side of the second car. She suffered “serious” injuries and was taken to a hospital by ambulance, the complaint says.</p><p>The passengers of the first Waymo car left the scene without providing aid, she alleged.</p><p>The complaint notes that Waymo says its cars have a “Safe Exit” feature, which is supposed to notify disembarking passengers when cyclists or pedestrians are near the car. That system, it says, apparently “failed to function as intended.”</p><p>The bicyclist is alleging that Waymo was negligent and committed intentional battery (with malice, in light of its “willful and conscious disregard for the safety of others”) and intentional affliction of emotional distress.

3174627	无图 <p>By William Selway, Bloomberg</p><p>Elon Musk, who served as a close adviser and confidant to President Donald Trump until a bitter public falling out last week in a series of social-media posts, issued his strongest sign of contrition yet over how he handled the rupture.</p><p>“I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week,” he said on his social-media platform, X. “They went too far.”</p>Related Articles Tesla suffers No. 1 used-car price drop, by this math Tesla hit with a pair of downgrades amid fallout from Trump feud Bay Area hit hard by federal job cuts ‘PayPal Mafia’: How power trio of Musk, Thiel and Sacks rode Silicon Valley startup success into Trump White House Trump says Elon Musk could face ‘serious consequences’ if he backs Democratic candidates <p>The dispute — which was triggered by Musk’s opposition to the tax-cut bill Trump is pushing through Congress — posed a threat to Musk’s wealth when the president raised the prospect of retaliating by cutting off his government contracts. That would have battered SpaceX, his rocket company, and Tesla Inc.’s stock price tumbled last Thursday, before recovering most of the loss.</p><p>Tesla shares rose nearly 2% in premarket US trading on Wednesday after Musk’s post. The stock was already rising in after-hours trading after Musk set June 22 as the tentative launch date for his long-awaited robot-taxi service. They had slid more than 19% so far this year as investors weighed up the damage from his previous embrace of Trump, which turned off car buyers across Europe and other markets, as well as the subsequent risks caused by his messy falling-out with the president.</p><p>Musk, the world’s richest man, had been the first to stand down from what had been an escalating spat, responding to advice from those online to de-escalate after it rapidly veered out of control. He had riled Trump by claiming credit for his election victory, endorsing his impeachment and even suggesting the president was implicated in the sex crimes of Jeffrey Epstein.</p><p>It remains unclear whether Musk’s expressions of regret will do much to repair his relationship with Trump, who is known for carrying grudges and has been using the power of the federal government to lash out at those who have crossed him. That would seem to pose particular peril for Musk, given that SpaceX relies heavily on federal contracts and his businesses are subject to federal regulatory oversight.</p><p>Trump has signaled little willingness to mend fences with Musk but told reporters that he felt they had once had a good relationship and “I wish him well.” The president said in an NBC News interview Saturday that he had no interest in repairing the relationship.</p> <p> </p><p>The scale of the blow-up had already cast significant doubt on whether the two will ever resume the close friendship they had during the first several months of Trump’s second term, when Musk was a nearly ubiquitous presence in the White House’s inner circle.</p><p>Until he stepped down, ahead of the spat, Musk had led the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, which sought to slash spending, shutter agencies and cut the federal workforce. The department had aimed to generate $1 trillion of savings for the government but fell far short of that goal, producing just $180 billion by its own unverified accounting.</p><p>Even that would be erased by Trump’s tax bill, which would add $2.4 trillion to the government’s budget deficits over the next decade, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. That caused Musk to previously lobby against its passage, calling it a “disgusting abomination.”</p><p>–With assistance from Eric Pfanner and Shelly Banjo.</p><p>More stories like this are available on bloomberg.com</p><p>©2025 Bloomberg L.P.</p> <p>Originally Published: <time>June 11, 2025 at 7:49 AM PDT</time></p> Elon Musk says he regrets social media posts lashing out at President Trump – Silicon Valley	查看 3993	硅谷新闻网	2025-06-11 07:52:28 2025-06-12 09:38:20	word
