Musk to finally break Trump ties? It could go down as soon as today, once we find out the president's plan on the Paris climate agreement. Also, SpaceX is launching stuff into space – if only it were me. That and more in The Daily Crunch for June 1, 2017.

1. Trump's Paris agreement position rallies tech companies

Trump says he'll reveal his plans regarding the Paris climate agreement today at 3 PM ET, and signs indicate he'll move to take the U.S. out of the international effort to counter greenhouse gas emissions and their resulting impact on the environment.

This has unified the tech industry (and industry in general), and resulted in phone calls from Apple CEO Tim Cook – and an ultimatum from Elon Musk, who until now has seen fit to remain close to the administration by serving on Trump advisory councils. Leaving Paris is a bridge too far, for Musk, apparently, where past contentious policies were not.

2. Meanwhile, in space...

The U.S. exiting the Paris agreement could accelerate Musk's motivation to make it to Mars, so today's SpaceX launch takes on greater significance. It's the first time SpaceX will attempt to use a Dragon it flew before in an active mission to resupply the ISS; reusable Dragon cargo capsules are a key ingredient for making Mars affordable.

3. Uber hemorrhaged cash trying to make UberPOOL viable

UberPOOL is a service that aims to make the economics of ride hailing better – but getting there is costing a lot of money, according to new documents published by BuzzFeed. These economics look terrible. Uber told us that all's well with POOL, however; it did not comment on the current economics.

4. Apple's Swift Playgrounds now works with hardware, too

Pretty cool – especially since the hardware support for Apple's coding education tool includes LEGO Mindstorms, Sphero's BB-8 bot, Parrot's drones and more.

5. Skype is trying to be cool

"Hey have you heard about Snapchat? What if we put that in Skype!" "You're a genius, Bill. Skype will be a huge hit with all of the cool teens now for sure." "It sure will, let's use neon gradients, too!" "Wow you're on fire today." "Thanks! I've been microdosing LSD."

6. Moto Z2 Play shows Motorola is all-in on mods

Motorola, kudos for sticking to something that's out of the ordinary. The Z2 Play, the successor to last year's Z Play, will get mods just like the first version. There's a bunch of new mods, even! I'm glad this continues to be a thing.

7. Plex just became your best live TV DVR service

Plex's subscription program is already worth it, but now you also get live TV viewing on a range of devices, and DVR capabilities for local and remote streaming. Super good.

How net neutrality began, Uber offloads its Otto problems and carpools, karaoke and otherwise, are expanding. All that and more in The Daily Crunch for May 31, 2017.

1. The FCC's net neutrality origin story

Sink your teeth into this weighty account of how the Federal Communications Commission came to create net neutrality, and why, as it's more at risk than ever before. It's a harrowing tale, and one with a happy ending – because it ends in 2016.

Devin's look at the history of net neutrality helps reframe why it's important, beyond as a talking point for left-leaning media types.

2. Uber finally cans Otto founder

Uber has had enough of Anthony Levandowski, the former Otto co-founder and onetime leader of its self-driving vehicle engineering team. The ride-hailing company fired Levandowski on Tuesday, noting that he'd been warned he should comply with ongoing court requests to disclose any evidence of theft of Waymo's self-driving tech secrets. The question now will be whether Levandowski also eventually faces criminal charges, too.

3. Waze broadens its Carpool offering

Meanwhile, carpooling as a category could be a more challenging proposition for Uber and others looking to make it a profitable venture, since Waze continues to grow its own, much more cost-effective carpooling service. Waze Carpool, which is more about genuinely connecting riders and passengers who happen to be going in the same direction, is opening up to all of California on June 6.

4. Nest's new home security camera is smarter and sharper

Do you like your smart cameras... smart? Then the Nest Cam IQ may be for you. It's Nest's new top of the line home security camera offering, and it has a 4K sensor on board that it uses to zoom and enhance when it spots bad folks prowling about your place. Onboard intelligence means it tracks faces in real-time, too, which is handy for busting baddies.

5. Apple Music's Carpool Karaoke show is out August 8

I still don't know what to think about this. I think it'll be bad, but I also really dislike James Corden so who knows. Still a weird direction. Apple is going Extremely Dad in most directions, however.

6. Amazon ends its home shopping show

Live Amazon shopping via TV is over now, and that's probably for the best. The QVC style show is cancelled, but Amazon's broader TV ambitions remain as strong as ever.

7. Intel's pocket PC is going to be a real thing

When this came out at CES it looked like a neat piece of hardware vaporware, but at Computex Intel announced hardware details and a long list of partners. Let's hope this becomes a shipping reality, with a rich ecosystem, because it's a cool concept.
