Quick Glance: Measures Against TikTok: Biden Sets Deadline for Sale

President Biden has signed legislation requiring ByteDance to fully divest from TikTok within a year or potentially face a nationwide ban.

This action poses a significant challenge to the future of the video-streaming app in the U.S. and escalates the technological conflict between America and China.

TikTok plans to take legal action against the Biden administration, citing concerns that the law could impede the free speech of millions of Americans.

This requirement was incorporated into a bill providing foreign aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, mandating ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok within 12 months under the threat of closure.

Quick Glance: India's Modi Attacks Pro-Muslim Rivals in Election Shift

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist party have begun attacking opposition rivals, claiming they favor minority Muslims, in an effort to energize their hardline base after the start of general elections last week.

Modi referred to Muslims as 'infiltrators' who have 'more children', linking it to an alleged election plan by the main opposition Congress party to redistribute Hindu wealth among Muslims, a claim denied by the Congress.

Modi's government has faced accusations of discrimination against India's 200 million Muslims, but has denied them, emphasizing its work for the welfare of all citizens.

Modi initially focused on development, welfare, and national pride in his campaign, but shifted focus back to core voters after the first phase, addressing issues of joblessness and rural distress.

Quick Glance: Vodafone’s Survival in India Secured by Record Fundraising

Vodafone's Indian business raised $2.2 billion through an equity issue to avoid collapsing under a debt burden.

Investors like GQG Partners and Fidelity participated in India's largest ever follow-on share sale.

The 2018 merger failed to turn the business around, but with government support and new equity, a potential rescue is on the horizon.

Despite planning to raise about Rs450 billion in equity and debt, doubts persist over whether this will be sufficient to secure the company's future.

Quick Glance: Archer Aviation Plans to Start Electric Air Taxi Trials in India Next Year

Archer Aviation, backed by Stellantis and Boeing, aims to begin trials of its electric air taxi in India next year, ahead of a planned commercial launch in 2026.

The company is working with India's aviation watchdog to get the necessary regulatory approvals for trials in the country.

Archer and InterGlobe will, in a joint venture, own and operate 200 of the 'Midnight' aircraft, providing services in India's capital New Delhi, and Mumbai and Bengaluru cities.

The electric aircraft can carry four passengers and a pilot for up to 100 miles, covering the same distance in 7 minutes that would take 60-90 minutes by car in New Delhi.

Musk's decision to delay the trip coincides with Tesla's earnings release on April 23, where Musk and investors will address the company's tumultuous start to 2024.

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Quick Glance: Elon Musk Postpones India Trip, Sources Say

Tesla's CEO Elon Musk has postponed a planned trip to India where he was to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and announce plans to enter the South Asian market, according to three people familiar with the matter.

Musk was expected to announce an investment of $2 billion to $3 billion, mainly to build a factory in India, following the government's policy of lowering high tariffs on imported cars if companies invest locally.

His planned Sunday arrival was set to follow two days after the start of India's national elections, where Modi is projected to secure a rare third term.

Reasons for the trip postponement were not immediately disclosed, and neither Tesla nor Modi's office responded promptly to requests for comments.
