Microsoft's $40 Billion AI Fund and a Bizarre Aqua Hire Deal

Microsoft aqua hires the team of inflection AI, including CEO Mustafa, in a peculiar deal that leaves the shell of the company intact. The deal, possibly structured to avoid antitrust issues, secures talent and IP without acquiring the company outright.
