Donald Trump, the former US president, is present at UFC 290, further solidifying his reputation as the fight president.

Trump has made previous appearances at UFC events, including UFC 264 and UFC 287. He has even provided fight commentary, taking the microphone during Vitor Belfort’s dominant victory over Evander Holyfield.

Tonight, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Trump is attending as a spectator. As the pay-per-view portion of UFC 290 began, cameras captured Trump being escorted to his VIP seats by Dana White himself.

It is expected that he will enjoy the upcoming championship bouts featuring Yair Rodriguez and Brandon Moreno.

It seems that Trump is having a great time so far. At one point, Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier temporarily stepped away from their commentary duties to converse with Trump when he approached them.

There were already speculations that Donald Trump might show up at UFC 290, and video footage from SteveWillDoIt, a close friend of Dana White and a popular YouTube influencer, confirmed that Trump was indeed in Vegas spending time with White.

However, it should be noted that Trump’s attendance at the event is not merely for show. Dana White has verified that Trump is a passionate fan who frequently calls him to discuss recent fights.

“So this guy calls me twice a month and will talk to me for an hour about fights that have happened since we last talked,” White said back in April. “And he knows everybody. He knows what they did and who they fought last. He’s a huge fight fan. Loves this stuff.”

Investors are buzzing as SpaceX gears up for a potential IPO, aiming to raise more than $25 billion, possibly as soon as June. The offering could value the company at over $1 trillion, fueling Musk’s ambitious plans for Mars and beyond.

Despite the high-risk nature of space ventures, demand from retail investors is expected to be strong. Experts predict this IPO could become historic, with the company’s market value potentially soaring past $2 trillion once it launches.

Musk’s unconventional management style hasn’t slowed investor enthusiasm, even amidst regulatory hurdles. The funds raised could also support groundbreaking innovations, including energy-efficient space data centers.

Disney invests $1 billion in OpenAI for AI-generated videos featuring iconic characters, enhancing fan interactions and launching in 2026.

Disney is taking AI to the next level, investing $1 billion in OpenAI to create a licensing deal that allows users to generate videos featuring more than 200 characters from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar. This partnership could redefine how fans interact with their favorite characters.

The deal will let users stream short AI-generated videos directly on Disney+, and ChatGPT will also produce images of Disney’s licensed characters. However, the agreement excludes talent likenesses or voices, keeping human performances separate.

Set to launch in 2026, the collaboration also gives Disney warrants to purchase additional OpenAI equity and use AI tools for product development, opening doors to new creative opportunities.
