| | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | 🎥 The Daily Wire is launching a new documentary on transgender ideology. The conservative media company The Daily Wire announced that it will release a new documentary, streaming on X on January 10, about the rise of transgender ideology and the dangers it poses, specifically to children. The Daily Wire collaborated with Turning Point USA on the film, which is titled Identity Crisis. | 🎙️ Khloe Kardashian is launching a new podcast exclusively on X. Khloe Kardashian is launching her first podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land, exclusively on Elon Musk's platform X, where it will debut in a few weeks. The video podcast is part of X's Originals initiative, where the platform is attempting to expand further into the podcast and media sphere by offering exclusive early access while letting creators retain content ownership. | 🤖 Altman and Musk feud over OpenAI's future. Former allies and business partners Sam Altman and Elon Musk are locked in a high-profile battle over the future of OpenAI, which they co-founded in 2015 as a nonprofit. Musk opposes OpenAI's shift to a for-profit model and has sued the company — worth over $150 billion — several times. Despite Altman believing Musk is a "bully," he has joined other tech CEOs like Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos in donating $1 million to President-elect Trump's inaugural fund. | 🏨 Trump eyes a return to the DC luxury hotel scene. President-elect Donald Trump is considering reclaiming the struggling Waldorf-Astoria in Washington, DC, and rebranding it as the Trump International Hotel. The landmark property, once a hub for GOP insiders during Trump's presidency, has seen visitor numbers plummet since the Trump Organization sold its lease in 2022. While no formal move has been made, sources suggest the Trump Organization is exploring options to either buy back the lease or strike a licensing deal. |
