Who’s in the running? Former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Rumble, Kevin O’Leary and former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick. Microsoft and Oracle supposedly said no in the past. I’m surprised Elon Musk isn’t on this list.
🌐 Need for speed: The FCC says the new required broadband standard is 100Mbps for downloads and 20Mbps for uploads. That’s a big jump from the old 25Mbps for downloads and 3Mbps for uploads.

🔥 Chew on this: TikTok’s CEO, Shou Chew, wants you to “make your voice heard” against the looming Communist China app ban. He says creators and small businesses could lose billions. Don’t worry about Americans’ data going straight to Communist China. Putz. There’s absolutely no question this constitutes lobbying Congress on behalf of a foreign government.
⛳ Lawn disorder: A University of Michigan study reveals men who love golfing and gardening might have an increased risk for Lou Gehrig’s disease, or ALS — the same paralyzing disease Stephen Hawking had.
