Quick Glance: Trump Accused of Trying to 'Corrupt' 2016 Election in Hush-Money Trial

  • The defense argued that Trump was 'innocent' and attacked the integrity of the former Trump confidant who is now the government's star witness.

  • The opening statements provided the 12-person jury and the public with a roadmap to understand the allegations in the case and Trump's expected defenses.

  • Prosecutors emphasized the gravity of the case by framing it as about election interference and sought to address criticism that the case lacks the grievous allegations present in Trump's other three cases.

Quick Glance: Trump on Verge of $1 Billion Win with Truth Social
  • Former President Donald Trump is on the verge of scoring a major financial bonanza, at least on paper. If Trump Media & Technology Group's share price doesn't dramatically drop before Tuesday's closing bell, Trump is set to receive another 36 million shares as the owner of Truth Social.

  • Even though Trump Media is losing money and Truth Social is very tiny, the new shares Trump is poised to receive would be valued at about $1.3 billion at current prices. Trump's net worth has been fluctuating significantly since his social media company went public last month.

  • While Trump Media's share price has been halved since peaking on March 27, it still trades comfortably above levels that would trigger specific performance provisions in the merger agreement.

  • Trump Media can issue additional shares to pre-merger shareholders like the former president if the dollar volume-weighted average price equals or exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30-day period starting on March 25.

Quick Glance: Zach Wilson Trade Notes: Jets Deal QB to Broncos before 2024 NFL Draft
  • Nearly three years have passed since the New York Jets selected quarterback Zach Wilson as the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and are now officially trading the heavily criticized signal-caller to the Denver Broncos.

  • At the age of 24, Wilson has been available since the beginning of the 2024 offseason, with the team's general manager, Joe Douglas, openly stating the intention to relocate the former first-round pick.

  • In urgent need of quarterback reinforcements, the Broncos made significant roster moves by releasing veteran starter Russell Wilson before free agency and entering the draft with Jarrett Stidham leading the depth chart.

  • By signing journeyman Tyrod Taylor as Aaron Rodgers' primary backup earlier this offseason, the Jets effectively indicated the conclusion of Zach Wilson's tenure with the team.

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.
