An hour in the Oval Office with President Trump.

On Intel, AI, Boeing, Iran—and what happens to his style of one to one dealmaking when he's gone: "Can't answer that question. I don't know. It's not going to happen again."

Amazon tops this year’s Fortune 500, the first No. 1 seat-change in 13 years. It did so by vaulting over bitter rival Walmart.

[Alyson Shontell @ajs]

The Fortune 500, in its 72nd year, just dropped. For the first time in over a decade, it has a new No. 1!

The companies generated a combined $21.0 trillion in revenue and $2.1 trillion in profits last year. They employ 30.5 million people. I’ll be on CNBC this afternoon with the (awesome) @KellyCNBC to unpack it. https://t.co/x8GiPIiJse

The fact that he has never worked in broadcast news is I bet the point! Excited to see what Nick can do with fresh perspective.

I had a blast with you this morning, Kate! Thanks for having me on to shine a light on these powerful executives -- who all just happen to be women! @_emmahinchliffe did an incredible job on the ranking.

[Kate Bolduan @KateBolduan]

Fortune’s Most Powerful Women list is out. And @FortuneMagazine EOC joined me to discuss. @FortuneMPW @ajs

Congratulations to @Citi CEO Jane Fraser on her ranking as #1 on @FortuneMPW! Her 5 year turnaround of the bank — a tall task her predecessors struggled with — is achieving impressive results https://t.co/IOmIJ4udFG

[FORTUNE @FortuneMagazine]

Fortune Editor-in-Chief @ajs spent an hour in the Oval Office with President Trump.

They discussed tariffs, Intel, AI, Boeing, Iran—and the question every CEO eventually has to answer: who's next? https://t.co/zIDmgJYtHH

[Michael Bodley @michael_bodley]

“By this person’s math, there could be as much as $1 trillion in capital chasing $30 billion to $50 billion in available shares. 

Cue the chaos.”

So excited to work with you, Sebastian! A big welcome to Fortune

🚨 Have not posted on here in awhile! Logging on to share some exciting personal news:

I’m joining @FortuneMagazine soon as tech correspondent. I’ll still be based in the SF area, keeping a close eye on the industry's biggest players and most defining trends.

Naturally, a major focus of my coverage will continue to be artificial intelligence and the massive infrastructure behind it. If you work at Amazon, Microsoft or any of the leading companies driving this space, I'd love to chat. You can reach me securely on Signal at seb.39. (I'll share my Fortune email address once it's up and running).

I’m deeply grateful for my seven years at The Wall Street Journal, where I was fortunate to write about Amazon, Microsoft, AI, cloud computing and other topics. I’m thankful to all of my wonderful former colleagues there, as well as the many sources that helped shape my stories.

You can follow me here, as well as LinkedIn and Bluesky @sebasaherrera.bsky.social. Let’s keep the conversation going at Fortune!

Fortune interview with President Trump says he seems resigned to the fact that he may have to wait for more cuts.

“You can’t really look at the figures until the war is over,” Trump concedes.

Bro. Excluding Fortune is just sour grapes :)

Time. Life. Sports Illustrated.

Henry Luce's publications were some of the largest of the 20th century. Time was the first weekly news magazine in the United States. It served to summarize the week's news for the busy reader. Life magazine pioneered photojournalism, while Sports Illustrated brought sports to a premiere publication.

His impact on journalism, publications and readers across the country wrote him into the #Forbes250 list honoring historic innovators.
