Elon Musk, despite amassing a record-breaking $852 billion net worth, recently stated that "money can't buy happiness," sparking debate among the ultra-wealthy. Meanwhile, in Minneapolis, a fourth-grader's education is impacted by his family's fears of immigration authorities, and rapper Bad Bunny's performance at the Super Bowl halftime show is drawing attention to his ties to a Puerto Rican independence movement. Additionally, AI is poised to reshape clinical trials, and a study highlights the impact of public housing on low-income children's future earnings.
Musk's comment, made on X, formerly Twitter, garnered over 96 million views and prompted responses from other wealthy individuals. Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman offered advice, suggesting Musk focus on philanthropy and perspective, according to Fortune.
In Minneapolis, a 10-year-old boy named Giancarlo continues to attend school, but his family's fear of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents has significantly altered their daily lives. His mother, fearing being targeted by authorities, avoids taking her younger son to daycare and prays for her children's safety. The family's story reflects the anxieties felt by many immigrant families in the area, as reported by Fortune.
The world of medicine is also undergoing transformation. AI is poised to revolutionize clinical trials, which can take years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars, according to Ben Liu, CEO of Formation Bio, an AI company in the biotech space, as reported by Time. Liu noted that the biggest hurdle in bringing new medicine to patients is the running of clinical trials.
The impact of public housing on low-income children's future earnings is also being studied. A housing development built using HOPE VI funds in Cincinnati is one example of how better-designed public housing can positively influence outcomes, according to Vox.
Finally, rapper Bad Bunny's upcoming Super Bowl halftime performance is drawing attention to his activism and ties to a nascent Puerto Rican independence movement. As reported by Vox, Bad Bunny is the first solo male Latin American artist to headline the Super Bowl halftime show. His activism is central to his music, and his performance comes just a week after receiving the Grammys highest honor.
