## Resource

In this episode of The Wealth Effect, we deconstruct a week defined by the collision of massive corporate scale and the friction of reality. We dive into the federal courthouse in Oakland as the Musk vs. OpenAI trial enters its second week, exposing the battle over whether a $100 billion "charity" was effectively stolen. We also analyze Meta’s tactical nightmare as China blocks its $2 billion acquisition of Manus, leaving Mark Zuckerberg’s "profit-fourth" strategy under a microscope.
