Anthony Ha, recently appointed as TechCrunch’s weekend editor, has made great strides during his young career in technology journalism. He is the former technology reporter for Adweek. There, he honed his skills writing about the intersection of the tech world and public policy. On top of that, he served as senior editor at VentureBeat—rounding out a deep resume of expertise from all angles.
Ha’s path to achieving that dream began at the Hollister Free Lance, where he cut his teeth as a local government reporter. This formative experience proved the ideal launching pad for him as a news reporter. It also provided him with an appreciation for how important local issues can be. Later, he became vice president of content and programming with a venture capital firm. During his tenure in that position, he developed a unique perspective on the interplay between technology and investment.
Elon Musk has done it again by combining SpaceX and xAI respectively. If approved, this merger will bring about one of the largest changes to the aerospace and artificial intelligence industry. This merger intends to take advantage of synergies the two companies, bringing additional firepower and talent under one roof and allowing them to reach more people. Everyone involved—from industry to academia to policymakers—hopes that this merger will produce a generation of new, cutting-edge technology.
Sam Altman, the former president of Y Combinator and another protagonist of the tech utopia, goes on to pour his investments into verticals. His strategic investments complement Musk’s vision and contribute to the evolving narrative of technology’s impact on society.
