On May 1, according to The Wall Street Journal, Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg provided new details about the company's aggressive AI plans during an all-hands meeting on Thursday, responding to the market's negative reaction to its first-quarter performance. Zuckerberg attributed the 8% drop in Meta's stock price to investor concerns over an expected increase in capital expenditures and the company's forecast of slowed growth for the second quarter. He noted that after the U.S. went to war with Iran at the end of February, Meta's advertising business experienced a 'trajectory change.' He stated, 'If oil prices go up, consumers will spend more on oil and gasoline, and spending on discretionary non-essential items will decrease, and advertising typically targets those types of products.' Zuckerberg linked the company's layoff plans for next month to the need to invest more in data centers and other AI infrastructure. He explained, 'The company basically has two cost centers. One is computing and infrastructure, and the other is personnel. If we invest more in one area to serve our community, it means we have less capital to allocate to the other area. So this means we do need to moderately reduce the size of the company.'

On May 1, U.S. President Trump stated at a White House press conference that recent military actions by the U.S. have 'destroyed' Iran's nuclear capabilities and significantly weakened its overall military strength. He claimed that Iran's navy and air force are 'almost non-existent,' approximately 82% of drone factories have been weakened, missile factories are nearly 90% damaged, and most missile systems have been destroyed. Trump noted that the U.S. has completed key strike missions in a short period and emphasized that without action, Iran 'could obtain nuclear weapons,' which is 'absolutely unacceptable.' He mentioned that current negotiations with Iran are stalled, but Iran is 'very eager to reach an agreement.' Trump stated that the details of the negotiations are known only to a select few senior officials in the U.S. He added that under economic sanctions and military pressure, Iran's economy is facing severe difficulties, with a significant drop in oil revenues. He emphasized that the U.S. goal is to compel Iran to abandon its nuclear weapons development while pushing for a resolution through negotiations as soon as possible.

On May 1, former President Trump stated on social media: "Anyone running for president or vice president should be required to take a cognitive ability test before officially entering the race! Only then will we not be astonished that people like Barack 'Hussein' Obama or 'Sleepy Joe' Biden could actually get elected. Our country will become better as a result! During my ("three terms!") presidency, I took this test three times and passed with a perfect score each time — according to doctors, this is an unprecedented achievement, and even a single perfect score has rarely been matched before."
