The split, in one line
Coverage splits between valuation metrics (FT's $420bn vs. WSJ/Reuters/PBS's $66.8bn equity) and strategic drivers—FT emphasizes deal structure, while WSJ/Reuters highlight regulatory hurdles, Reuters/PBS stress AI-driven energy demand, and NYT frames it through consumer cost pressures and data center power needs.
