The Summit About Who Controls AI, Robots, and Oil for the Next Decade | BOOM ROOM Roundup

The global power map is being redrawn in Beijing.In Episode 18, Sasha and Melo break down Trump’s high-stakes arrival in China alongside Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, and Larry Fink.Plus, we cover the explosive updates from the Musk vs. Altman trial, where Sam Altman alleges Elon wanted 90% of OpenAI and a hereditary line of control.Trump arrived in Beijing this week with 17 corporate executives for a two-day summit with Xi Jinping. The guest list told you everything about American anxiety: Elon Musk for Tesla's rare earth magnet problem, Jensen Huang to negotiate whether China can buy his own chips, Tim Cook for Apple's supply chain, Larry Fink for capital flows. China arrived having weaponized rare earth export restrictions twice in 2025 to make Trump back down. The CFR published an analysis this week saying Xi is in the driver's seat.The same week Iran proposed Hormuz transit tariffs denominated entirely in Chinese yuan. India paid for Iranian oil in yuan for the first time in seven years. China's CIPS payment network processed $214 billion in March. The petrodollar is under direct attack and the timing relative to the Beijing summit was not accidental.Sam Altman testified in Oakland that Musk wanted total control of OpenAI and said it should pass to his children when he died. Musk was not in court. He was in Beijing.Anthropic launched a $1.5 billion venture with Goldman Sachs and Blackstone to embed Claude directly inside mid-sized businesses replacing traditional consulting firms. China controls more than 90% of the rare earth magnets inside every Western humanoid robot. Tesla Optimus production is already delayed because of it.
