CNN heard from five young influencers about how the proposed TikTok ban might impact content creators and their vote in the upcoming election. edition.cnn.com/2024/04/23/tech/congress-tiktok-ban-what-next/index.html
Quick Glance: Potential Buyers for TikTok Revealed
  • The clock is ticking for TikTok to find a new owner. President Joe Biden signed a law that could ban TikTok in the US unless ByteDance sells the app. Possible buyers range from tech companies to retailers and investment bankers.

  • Established tech giants like Meta or Google are unlikely buyers due to antitrust hurdles. Large companies with deep pockets face regulatory skepticism, although they could have the resources to purchase TikTok.

  • Microsoft, which has shown interest in TikTok in the past, may have another opportunity after successfully navigating antitrust scrutiny with the Activision Blizzard deal. Oracle and former US government officials like Steven Mnuchin are also potential buyers.

  • Mnuchin has announced assembling a team of investors to acquire TikTok. His offer, however, might exclude TikTok's algorithm, sparking controversial discussions. Other potential buyers like Kevin O'Leary are also considering acquiring TikTok, with O'Leary suggesting an initial bid between $20 and $30 billion.

Is Elon Musk's robotaxi dream plunging Tesla into chaos and jeopardizing its vision of a cheap EV? @EdLudlow reports www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-04-21/tesla-tsla-cybertruck-recall-is-latest-setback-to-stock-s-rough-2024
Quick Glance: Tesla Cybertruck Recall and Stock Decline 2024
  • Elon Musk's underlings at Tesla Inc. are accustomed to chaos, but this year has been particularly turbulent. The stock price has plummeted, there has been confusion around product decisions and price cuts. Tesla's position in the Chinese EV market is under threat, and a meeting with India's Prime Minister for a planned investment announcement was abruptly called off.

  • Tesla is expected to report a significant drop in operating profit and its first revenue decline in four years. Musk has ordered massive layoffs and is staking the company's future on a self-driving vehicle concept called the robotaxi. Many employees are unsettled by the changes the CEO wants to implement.

  • Musk has been discussing the concept of an autonomous taxi service for at least eight years, but Tesla has not yet built the infrastructure required for it. The focus is now on the robotaxi instead of a cheaper mass-market vehicle that many investors deem crucial. Key managers have left the company, and analysts are concerned about Tesla's strategy.

  • Musk has announced that more than 10% of the workforce will be laid off. Transitioning to the robotaxi service is risky, as regulation at the state and local level can be challenging. Nevertheless, Musk is betting on Tesla making robotaxis a reality by promoting FSD and cutting prices. Some of the Tesla layoffs were poorly organized and perceived as humiliating.
