The Morning After: Tech’s biggest winners of 2025

Here is a 170-word summary of the key points from the news article: The tech industry saw massive gains in 2025, with the 10 richest US billionaires (mostly tech leaders) increasing their wealth by $698 billion. Some have used this money to support political causes, like Elon Musk's $300 million in donations to President Trump and Republican allies. Advancements in AI have led to a proliferation of AI-generated video content. Meta, Google, and OpenAI have all released tools that make it easier than ever to create AI videos, with OpenAI's Sora app downloaded a million times in just days and Google's Veo generating over 40 million videos in weeks. Meanwhile, Paramount is making a hostile $108 billion takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, challenging Netflix's previous $82.7 billion deal. Whoever acquires WBD would face antitrust scrutiny, as a combined Netflix and HBO would control 33% of the US streaming market. The article also notes the departure of Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada from Bandai Namco after a 30-year career.
