In an aerial view, brand new Tesla cars sit parked in a lot at the Tesla Fremont Factory on April 24, 2024 in Fremont, California. Faced with weakening demand for Tesla EVs and increased competition, the company has been slashing headcount since at least January. Previous filings revealed that Tesla would cut more than 6,300 jobs across California, Austin, Texas and Buffalo, New York. The WARN filing shows that to be the case, with many cut from the team at Tesla's Hanover Street location in Palo Alto. Read the latest WARN filing in California here:

☆ Over half of Gen Z and millennials are living paycheck to paycheck — and college is one of the first things they're cutting from their budgets
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-15 | by ( Ayelet Sheffey | Juliana Kaplan | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Younger workers are foregoing higher education as costs continue to remain top of mind — and the value of a college education isn't what it used to be. On Wednesday, Deloitte released a survey on Gen Z and millennial attitudes toward the world and their financial conditions. That comes as over half of Gen Z and millennials are living paycheck to paycheck, per the report — a continued trend among younger workers. For both Gen Z and millennials, the cost of living is their top concern, with Gen Z also concerned about potential unemployment. Still, younger adults' perceptions toward higher education seem to skew away from overall attitudes toward a postsecondary degree or credential.

☆ TikTok sued the U.S. government to block a ban. Here’s what happens now
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-08 | by ( Ashley Capoot | In | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

Former President Donald Trump attempted to ban the platform through an executive order in 2020, laying out the path to a potential ban. Prior to the passage of the law, TikTok spent more than $2 billion on an initiative called "Project Texas" to better protect U.S. user data from foreign influence. It's also different from past attempts to ban TikTok since the bill has bipartisan support, which can influence the courts, Hans said. Regardless of what happens in the circuit court, Hans said there's a real possibility the case ends up getting elevated to the U.S. Supreme Court. WATCH: Here's what to know about TikTok lawsuit

☆ Exxon CEO says dispute with Chevron over Hess Guyana oil assets could drag into 2025

Darren Woods, chairman and chief executive officer of Exxon Mobil Corp, speaks during the 2024 CERAWeek by S&P Global conference in Houston, Texas, US, on Monday, March 18, 2024. Exxon CEO Darren Woods said Monday that the dispute with Chevron over Hess Corporation 's oil assets in Guyana likely will not be resolved until 2025. "This is an important arbitration obviously not only for Exxon Mobil but for Chevron and Hess," Woods said. Exxon is claiming a right of first refusal on Hess' assets in Guyana under a joint operating agreement that governs a consortium that is developing the South American nation's prolific oil resources. The CEO has repeatedly expressed confidence that Exxon will prevail in the dispute, saying the company wrote the agreement that governs the consortium.

Shari Redstone, chair of Paramount Global, attends the Allen & Co. Media and Technology Conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, on Tuesday, July 11, 2023. The consortium has been waiting for word from Paramount's special committee on whether the panel will recommend its bid to acquire the company to Redstone. Spokespeople for Skydance, Redstone's National Amusements and Paramount's special committee declined to comment on Friday. Previously, Redstone rejected an offer by Apollo in favor of exclusive talks with Skydance. Redstone has preferred a deal that would keep Paramount together, as Skydance's offer would, CNBC previously reported.

☆ Shari Redstone is playing M&A war games with removal of Paramount CEO Bob Bakish
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-29 | by ( Alex Sherman | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

The decision to remove Bakish as CEO comes as Paramount Global closes in on a merger agreement with Skydance Media. A number of large common shareholders, including Gamco Investors, Ariel Investments, Matrix and Aspen Sky Trust have publicly criticized the deal, arguing it destroys value for common shareholders. Paramount Global shares jumped about 5% in premarket trading Monday. Typically, Paramount Global shareholders, such as Gabelli, would compare an offer to the standalone company's prospects — hence his comments about not seeing a sale at all. But by removing Bakish, Redstone and the Paramount Global board are now throwing the status quo into chaos.

☆ Paramount stock slumps on reports that Skydance merger would require company to raise new equity
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-04 | by ( Micah Washington | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Paramount Global 's stock slumped 8% on Thursday after CNBC's David Faber reported the company would need to raise as much as $3 billion in new equity if it were to merge with David Ellison's Skydance Media, according to sources familiar with the deal. This deal comes as media mogul Shari Redstone, the controlling shareholder of Paramount, is said to be in exclusive talks with Ellison on selling her stake to him, according to Bloomberg. Faber said Ellison and his partners would likely step up to provide a good amount of that equity, but it would be dilutive. Redstone is looking to sell Paramount, as the company has been in talks with Warner Bros Discovery on its acquisition. The MTV and CBS parent company has a market capitalization of nearly $10 billion and about $13 billion of net debt.

In his first public comments since Disney fired him as CEO in November 2022, Bob Chapek told CNBC he sees no reason for Disney-owned ESPN to add minority partners. The company hasn't yet announced a deal to sell a stake in ESPN. Disney owns 80% of ESPN and Hearst owns the other 20%, a structure that's been in place since 1996. Bringing on a technology or telecommunications company such as Verizon or Apple could give ESPN broader distribution options by reaching larger customer bases. That is something, as Bob [Iger] has said, that we are very much open to, but this is about partnership and accelerating the launch or the adoption of ESPN flagship."

For the last six years, Finland has been ranked the happiest country in the world. I've lived here most of my life, and as a psychologist and happiness researcher, I'm often asked: what exactly makes people in Finland so satisfied with their lives? However, research has shown that those most desperately seeking happiness tend to be less happy. 'Who has happiness should hide it'In Finland, we tend to believe that if you've found happiness, you shouldn't show it. 'The pessimist will never be disappointed'This is an old Finnish saying without any clear origin.
