If you’ve applied for countless jobs and rarely hear back, chances are you’ve encountered a phenomenon that has grown increasingly common: “ghost jobs.” 

Companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars annually for stadium naming rights, and for good reason. It’s an opportunity like none other for brands to become associated with lasting memories and big cultural moments, like games and concerts.

When generative AI was new, the issue of how it worked with copyright law was poorly understood. Over the previous two decades it was generally taken as a given that the mass indexing done by search engines like Google was a necessary part of being on the internet. Google wasn’t reproducing the content—just showing users a headline and a link—so it always functioned more like a distributor than a republisher.

SpaceX finally went public on Friday, marking one of the most profitable stock market debuts ever. The move stands to make Elon Musk, already the world’s wealthiest person, even wealthier, while turning many employees and early investors into millionaires and billionaires overnight.

Renewable energy groups are suing the U.S. military because they say national security reviews for new wind farms on private land have been effectively frozen for months. The groups say this logjam jeopardizes $47 billion in investments and thousands of jobs in 21 states.

President Donald Trump has frequently talked about his hatred of wind power and calls turbines ugly. Currently, about 10% of the electricity generated in the United States comes from wind farms, making it the nation’s largest source of renewable energy. Solar is the fastest-growing.

The lawsuit against the Pentagon and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was filed in U.S. District Court in Oregon by nine groups, including Renewable Northwest and the Advanced Power Alliance. They allege that a policy of inaction “poses an existential threat to the wind energy industry across the nation by effectively halting all new development activity.”

The Pentagon says it has to balance new sources of energy against military needs. A military office known as the siting clearinghouse, which checks energy projects for national security risks, is actively evaluating these projects — but it’s a complex process where different agencies have to work together, the Pentagon says. The Pentagon evaluates land-based wind energy projects during the Federal Aviation Administration review.

Late Thursday, the plaintiffs filed a motion asking the court to order the Pentagon to resume its ordinary review process for new wind energy projects. They included an economic analysis by global consulting firm Charles River Associates Inc.

When asked about the economic benefits at risk on Thursday, the department said it does not comment on open litigation.

Trump ordered a temporary halt to leasing and permitting for wind energy projects. However, a federal judge struck down that order blocking wind development. Trump is particularly hostile toward offshore wind, and the administration recently started buying back leases to stop offshore wind development.

The American Clean Power Association first raised the issue with the stalled national security reviews, sending a letter to the Pentagon in March to demand an explanation. CEO Jason Grumet said Thursday that the U.S. wind industry needs the government to carry out the normal review and permitting processes to keep the lights on for families and businesses.

Here are some key numbers that show the impact, as described in the economic analysis:

SpaceX is going public, and its shares could go to the moon. That doesn’t mean that all investors are starstruck, however. That’s because for many investors, SpaceX’s IPO, and its effects on the broader market, may be nearly unavoidable.

If you’re a pizza lover, you’ll want to be aware of a recent recall the US Food and Drug Administration has announced. The recall involves over 160,000 pounds of a popular frozen pizza product distributed to more than 20 states. The reason for the recall? Potential metal contamination. Here’s what you need to know.

World shares advanced on Friday, tracking big Wall Street gains, while oil prices sank more than 4% after U.S. President Donald Trump claimed there was a breakthrough in talks to end the Iran war.

High oil prices have added to inflationary pressures globally as the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for the world’s oil and gas transit, remained largely closed.

Expectations that an agreement between the U.S. and Iran may help reopen the strait sent oil prices tumbling.

Brent crude oil, the international standard, fell 4.5% to $86.31 per barrel. That was still much higher than the roughly $70 a barrel level it was at before the war began in late February.

Benchmark U.S. crude shed 4.3% to $83.90 a barrel.

In share trading, the future for the S&P 500 was 0.2% higher, while that for the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.4%.

Investors in the U.S. and elsewhere were awaiting the debut Friday on Wall Street of SpaceX, Elon Musk’s rocket company, which is set to become the largest IPO on record, raising around $75 billion.

In early European trading, Germany’s DAX picked up 1.8% to 24,654.78, while the CAC 40 in Paris rose 1.9% to 8,356.38. Britain’s FTSE 100 added 1.2% to 10,428.98, despite official data that showed its economy contracted by 0.1% in April.

Asian markets logged bigger gains.

South Korea’s Kospi jumped 4.6% to 8,123.62, narrowing losses from earlier this month from sell-offs of shares related to artificial intelligence. The Kospi has nearly doubled over the past six months, with a record closing high of 8,801.49 on June 2.

Samsung Electronics, South Korea’s most valuable company, advanced 7.9%. Computer chipmaker SK Hynix rose 2.3%.

Tokyo’s Nikkei’s 225 gained 2.8% to 66,020.04, also led by gains for technology stocks. SoftBank Group, a multinational investment holding company with a strong AI focus, was up 1.5%. Chip equipment maker Tokyo Electron jumped 7.3%.

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng gained 1.7% to 24,658.91 and the Shanghai Composite index rose 1.1% to 4,031.51.

In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 closed 2% higher at 8,804.00.

Taiwan’s Taiex gained 2.4%, while India’s Sensex advanced 1.4%.

The renewed investor optimism came after Trump said Thursday he had called off military strikes against Iran. He asserted that the U.S. had made “a great settlement of the war with Iran,” adding that an extension of the shaky ceasefire between the two sides could be finalized in “the next few days.” Few details were offered.

Global markets retreated earlier in the week as tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalated.

“Trump has said many times before that a deal is very close, only for hostilities to resume,” ING commodities analysts Warren Patterson and Ewa Manthey wrote in a note on Friday. “However, there does appear to be more positive noise around the deal this time.”

“(But) we would be cautious about assuming that the extension of the ceasefire is a done deal,” they added. “Even if it is, it could be fragile.”

On Thursday, Wall Street’s benchmark S&P 500 surged 1.8% to 7,394.30, back to where it was in early May. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 1.9% to 50,848.75, and the technology-heavy Nasdaq composite climbed 2.5% to 25,809.66.

Prices of AI and other tech stocks have been volatile the past week in part due to renewed worries that massive investments and soaring share prices are creating a bubble liable to burst. On Thursday, U.S. chipmaker Marvell Technology climbed 11.1%, but technology company Oracle lost 8.5% on worries over its high spending, despite strong-than-expected quarterly results.

In other dealings early Friday, the U.S. dollar rose to 160.04 Japanese yen from 159.93 yen. The euro was trading at $1.1580, up from $1.1578.

Recently, Anthropic quietly admitted something that should have been the biggest tech story of the year.

Taylor Swift became the youngest woman ever inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame Thursday night at age 36.

“It was instinctual. No one taught me how to do it,” she said of songwriting through a raspy voice she attributed to screaming along to the night’s performances and Wednesday night’s historic NBA game between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs.

She told the room about her family uprooting their lives to move her from Pennsylvania to Nashville, Tennessee, as a tween.

“I will never be able to express my gratitude,” the singer-songwriter said while holding back tears — crediting their sacrifice for her career.

She offered young songwriters advice: “You really have to prioritize what you love, down to your very core. Because you’ll need that.”

Steven Spielberg introduced Swift with a surprise speech about the power of songwriting. “There is something undeniable about how songs imprint on our souls,” he said, before changing his focus to Swift. “Somehow Taylor knows us all too well.”

Swift started her speech by acknowledging Spielberg. “Because of examples like Steven’s, I trusted my imagination,” she said.

The Gen Z singer Sombr launched Swift’s segment by performing “Cardigan” and “Dear John” in front of her.

Swift has brought new eyes to this year’s ceremony and undeniably shaped contemporary pop music trends with her songwriting. Swift is the youngest woman inducted, but Stevie Wonder, who started his recording career at 13, was the youngest ever inducted, it was announced on stage.

It was a notable moment in an evening full of them, where Swift, Kiss’ Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, Christopher “Tricky” Stewart, Alanis Morissette, Kenny Loggins and more were honored.
