OpenAI has completed a deal to help employees sell shares in the company at a $500 billion valuation, propelling the ChatGPT owner past Elon Musk’s SpaceX to become the world’s largest startup. The share sale boosts the US company’s price tag well past its previous $300 billion level.

The US government shutdown has entered its second day, with the Trump administration raising the stakes by halting $18 billion in infrastructure funding and signaling a willingness to fire thousands of federal workers.
