sparked fears among some billionaires about relocating,

argues that claims of mass exodus are often exaggerated
and historically unfounded. In fact, many billionaires
express a commitment to stay. focusing on their
responsibilities rather than fleeing. As California's
billionaire tax proposal moves forward, it faces
scrutiny and potential legal challenges. But

show. Let's talk science. Jupiter is not as huge
as we thought it was. The solar system's largest
planet is slightly less of a giant than scientists
once believed. Jupiter is 8 kilometers narrower
at its equator and 24 kilometers flatter at its
poles than previously estimated, according to
a new study. These new measurements overturn
almost 50 years of consensus about the size and
shape of Jupiter. Yochai Caspi, a professor at
