You're tuned in to Tech Beat, and here's what's moving in tech today.

In a pairing that would have seemed unthinkable not long ago, Anthropic has struck a deal to use computing resources from Elon Musk's xAI, routed through SpaceX infrastructure. The company says the arrangement is already paying off, with Claude Code rate limits doubling and orbital data centers potentially on the horizon.

That Musk connection carries some irony, because in a San Francisco courtroom this week, the story of how Musk left OpenAI is being told in unusually public detail. Former CTO Mira Murati testified under oath that CEO Sam Altman lied to her about safety review requirements for a new AI model, saying she reached a point where she simply could not trust his word.

And on a quieter but genuinely unsettling note, UK fraud prevention organization Cifas reports that roughly one in eight employees has either sold company login credentials or knows someone who has. That thirteen percent figure suggests insider threat is less an edge case and more a persistent, normalized risk hiding inside ordinary workplaces.

Those are your top stories for today. Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
