Jared Isaacman and President Donald Trump have met in recent weeks and discussed reviving the fintech billionaire’s nomination to lead NASA, according to a person familiar with the matter.
A decision to reconsider the Elon Musk ally would mark a major reversal for Trump after the White House revoked the job offer in May citing Isaacman’s ties to Democratic politicians. That left NASA without a long-term leader as the space agency grapples with funding and job cuts and races to bring astronauts back to the moon.

Trump has met with Isaacman, a SpaceX astronaut and executive chairman of Shift4 Payments Inc. in person more than once in recent weeks to discuss his vision for leading the space agency, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the matter is confidential.
The person cautioned that Trump hasn’t made a final decision and could go in a different direction. The role of NASA administrator also requires confirmation by the US Senate.

Several participants at the Federal Reserve’s September policy meeting said it was important to continue monitoring money-market conditions and evaluate how close bank reserves are to their “ample” level, as the central bank continues to unwind its massive portfolio of securities.

The remarks come as prolonged funding pressures in US money markets, just as bank reserves held at the Fed are dwindling, are suggesting the central bank may be getting closer to ending its balance sheet runoff.

A few participants noted that the Standing Repo Facility — the Fed’s liquidity backstop — would help keep the federal funds rate within its target range and ensure that temporary pressures in money markets wouldn’t disrupt the ongoing balance-sheet reduction, according to the minutes of the Sept. 16-17 gathering released Wednesday.

Dell Technologies Inc. roughly doubled its growth estimates for sales and profit for the next two years, and said demand for artificial intelligence products will extend those higher projections at least through the 2030 fiscal year.
The company unveiled a “long-term financial framework” that calls for sales to rise at a rate of 7% to 9% annually for the next four years, while earnings per share, excluding some items, will increase 15% or more. The company in 2023 had estimated revenue growth of 3% to 4% and adjusted EPS of 8% or better. Dell is announcing the updated numbers, which apply through fiscal year 2030, at an investor event Tuesday in New York, Chief Operating Officer Jeff Clarke said in an interview ahead of the event.

Paramount Skydance Corp. acquired the online news site the Free Press and named founder Bari Weiss editor-in-chief of CBS News, a move likely to stir controversy inside and outside of the venerable news organization.

Weiss, 41, will report to Paramount Chief Executive Officer David Ellison and oversee the editorial direction of a news division whose programs include the prestigious 60 Minutes and CBS News Sunday Morning. Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, but other outlets have reported the acquisition values the Free Press at about $150 million.

“Bari is a proven champion of independent, principled journalism, and I am confident her entrepreneurial drive and editorial vision will invigorate CBS News,” Ellison said in a statement on Monday. “This move is part of Paramount’s bigger vision to modernize content and the way it connects – directly and passionately – to audiences around the world.”

To discuss how Weiss' selection could change CBS News, hosts Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec speak with Katie Fallow, Deputy Litigation Director for the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. landed a blockbuster deal with OpenAI to build artificial intelligence infrastructure, giving the chipmaker a chance to show it can mount a challenge to Nvidia Corp. in the AI computing industry.

AMD shares soared 24% to $203.71 after the agreement was announced Monday, adding $63.4 billion to the company’s market valuation. It’s now worth $330.6 billion, more than Coca-Cola Co., General Electric Co. or Chevron Corp.

OpenAI will deploy 6 gigawatts’ worth of AMD graphics processing units over multiple years, according to the pact, which is just over half the size of an agreement the AI startup recently reached with Nvidia. It also sets the stage for OpenAI to acquire a large stake in the chipmaker.

The deal represents a high-stakes test for AMD — one that could deliver tens of billions of dollars in new revenue and burnish its status as a serious contender in AI technology. There are also risks: It further ties AMD’s prosperity to an AI market that some worry is in a bubble.

A developer of residential towers in New York, Miami and Los Angeles has embarked on a new venture, with plans to spend more than $1 billion converting cruise ships into luxury condos on the seas.
Earlier this year, Russell Galbut, managing principal of developer Crescent Heights, struck a $230 million deal with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. for a long-term lease on his first ship. Galbut said he intends to upgrade the vessel, known as the Seven Seas Navigator, and sell berths to customers who’d want to live on the ship for extended periods of time.
Crescent Seas, the new entity created for the effort, will offer 210 units on the Navigator at prices ranging from $750,000 to $8 million. Galbut aims to have the ship ready for its initial voyage in late 2026, and details his unique business plan with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.
