Welcome to Markets Desk, your midday read on the stories moving capital and conversation.
The Musk versus OpenAI trial is shaping up as one of the most consequential courtroom battles in tech history, and the man defending Sam Altman and the company is William Savitt of Wachtell, Lipton. Savitt, a co-chair of the firm's executive committee, brings an unconventional background to a high-stakes case β former cab driver, rock guitarist β but his record in corporate litigation speaks for itself. How this trial resolves could determine whether OpenAI's hybrid nonprofit structure survives legal scrutiny.
Shifting to markets, Nvidia bulls are doubling down on the thesis that the chipmaker will outpace Alphabet and Amazon combined over the next three years.

With data center buildouts accelerating globally, Nvidia's pricing power and market position remain formidable advantages that neither advertising nor cloud revenue can easily match.
And in a story that sits at the intersection of geopolitics and risk, Russia is hosting a high-level CSTO meeting in Moscow on May twenty-sixth. The Collective Security Treaty Organization is under visible internal strain, and how Moscow manages those fractures will matter to investors watching Eastern European exposure and energy corridor stability heading into summer.
