Trump Launches Discount Drug Website

Trump Launches Website to Lower Drug Costs; "March for Billionaires" Planned in San Francisco

In a week of diverse news, former President Donald Trump launched a new government website aimed at reducing prescription drug costs for Americans, while a "March for Billionaires" is being planned in San Francisco to protest a proposed wealth tax. These events, along with developments in the tech and financial sectors, have captured public attention.

TrumpRx.gov, announced on Thursday, features over 40 medications from five pharmaceutical companies that reached pricing agreements with the administration: AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, EMD Serono, Novo Nordisk, and Pfizer. "You're going to save a fortune," Trump said, according to Euronews. "This is also so good for overall healthcare." The website promises "the world's lowest prices."

Simultaneously, the tech world is grappling with a proposed wealth tax in California, leading to the planned "March for Billionaires" in San Francisco. A website advertising the event, which is scheduled for this coming Saturday, appeared online. The event's tagline states, "Vilifying billionaires is popular. Losing them is expensive." Initially met with skepticism, the event's organizer confirmed its occurrence.

In other tech news, HBO's financial thriller "Industry" is currently showcasing a storyline centered on a fraudulent fintech company called Tender. The show follows Harper Stern, who is investigating the company. "Fake users drive fake revenue drives fake cash," Sweetpea tells Harper, according to TechCrunch. The series highlights the prevalence of tech fraud.

Additionally, WordPress launched a new Claude connector, allowing site owners to share back-end data with Anthropic's chatbot system. Users can control what data they share and revoke access. Claude is given read-only access, preventing alterations within the users' CMS.

Finally, emails released last week revealed that a close advisor to Prince Andrew pitched Jeffrey Epstein on investing in EV startups like Lucid Motors. David Stern, a businessman, saw an opportunity to break a funding logjam for Lucid Motors by bringing in Epstein. Stern wrote to Epstein, "Ford will likely be lead in 400m Series D in Lucid."
