HOW ELON MUSK RESCUED X FROM THE BRINK

Late last month, Elon Musk announced that he was merging X with xAI in a deal that valued the newly combined company at more than $100 billion. This article reveals the string of events that helped Musk announce the deal before Trump's tariffs effectively closed the market for deals. The deal moves Musk closer to his longtime goal of turning X into an 'everything app'. The combined company will initially focus on more tightly embedding xAI's Grok chatbot into X, making it more central to the app experience.

COULD JAVASCRIPT HAVE SYNCHRONOUS `AWAIT`?

Synchronous `await` is technically possible in JavaScript and it could remove the need for duplicated synchronous and asynchronous versions of features. However, there are two drawbacks: performance degradation due to the need for every function call to be resumable and concurrency issues requiring mutexes to prevent interruptions in event handlers. While synchronous `await` has nicer usability, the downsides make it impractical.

HOW TRUMP'S TIKTOK NEGOTIATIONS WERE UPENDED BY CHINA AND TARIFFS

The Trump administration believed it had a plan to save TikTok last Wednesday, but the Chinese government would not let the deal proceed due to new tariffs on Chinese imports. President Trump extended the deadline for a TikTok deal into mid-June in response. ByteDance was reportedly comfortable with the new suggested plan, but even before the tariff announcement, there was no guarantee that China would approve of any deal. The talks about TikTok are likely to become even more complicated as the trade war between the two countries escalates.
