Lyft CEO David Risher took responsibility for the major error that appeared in the company's fourth-quarter earnings release late Tuesday, telling CNBC's "Squawk Box" that it's "super frustrating" for everyone on the team. It is an extra zero that slipped into a press release." Lyft reported $1.22 billion in revenue for the quarter, an increase of 4% from $1.175 billion a year earlier. In a note titled, "Lyft: We all make mistakes," analysts at MoffettNathanson raised their rating on the shares to neutral from sell. "Typos aside, we too are guilty of a mistake," the analysts wrote, citing their downgrade on the stock in October.

OpenAI's tender offer, which would allow employees to sell shares in the start-up to outside investors, remains on track despite the leadership tumult and board shuffle, two people familiar with the matter told CNBC. The round and previously reported valuation were jeopardized by Sam Altman's temporary ouster earlier in November, but his return cleared the way for the tender offer to proceed. The extension of the tender offer comes after a rollercoaster couple of weeks for the company. OpenAI's other major backers include Founders Fund, Sequoia Capital and, following the completion of the tender offer, Thrive Capital. Founders Fund will not participate in the tender offer either, a person familiar with the firm said.

This report is from today's CNBC Daily Open, our new, international markets newsletter. CNBC Daily Open brings investors up to speed on everything they need to know, no matter where they are. And yes, the astounding number of new jobs added in May suggests that the labor market is still robust, which might add to inflationary pressures. Average hourly earnings were 10 basis points lower than forecast on an annual basis — but still higher than the historical average. That impressive showing doesn't bring the Russell to par with the S&P's gain year to date, but in the past week, the Russell rose 3.3% while the S&P added 1.8%.

Alameda's success spurred the launch of crypto exchange FTX in the spring of 2019. A Twitter fight with the CEO of rival exchange Binance pulled the mask off the scheme. Alameda, FTX and a host of subsidiaries Bankman-Fried founded have filed for bankruptcy protection in Delaware. On Nov. 2, CoinDesk reported a leaked balance sheet showing that a significant amount of Alameda's assets were held in FTX's illiquid FTT token. On Nov. 6, according to Bankman-Fried, the exchange had roughly $5 billion of withdrawals, "the largest by a huge margin."
