Elon Musk spent $44 billion to buy Twitter, now known as X, and at least $130 million to help get Donald Trump elected president. Since Trump’s victory last week, Musk is about $70 billion richer on paper. For Musk, getting Trump back into the White House became another full-time job. After the election last week, Musk briefly joined Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, NBC News reported. Musk owns 411.06 million Tesla shares, as of the latest filings, and about 304 million performance-based options.

New York CNN —Trump Media & Technology Group is losing money, generating very little revenue and its main product Truth Social remains a relatively small player in social media. And yet Wall Street is valuing former President Donald Trump’s social media company at nearly $8 billion, a price tag that has tripled in the span of just five weeks. Since plunging to record lows on September 23, Trump Media’s share price has skyrocketed. Trump Media’s share price saw a sharp decline in July after President Joe Biden ended his reelection bid. “If this were called Joe’s Media Company, we wouldn’t even be talking about it and it wouldn’t have a value anywhere close to this.

AdvertisementTesla's earlier Robotaxi unveiling failed to impress investors, despite a surprise Robovan announcement and promises that unsupervised fully autonomous driving would be available in California and Texas next year. After the unveiling, Tesla's stock fell 10%. And the stock increase shows just how much analysts focus on the near-term and Tesla's automotive business, he said. The company also said in its earnings report that production on "more affordable models" remains on track for the first half of 2025. Musk also touted other aspects of Tesla's business, including its energy products and fully autonomous self-driving cars.

AdvertisementIf Elon Musk can fully deliver on his plans to make Tesla's Robotaxi the new go-to mode of transport, he could bring an end to the ride-hailing economy as we know it. "Tesla's vehicles, sensors, and software will all need to be approved in any market they hope to enter. "Until Tesla robotaxis are transporting 100,000 paying customers a week around major American cities like Waymo does, Tesla Robotaxi is nothing more than the latest work of fiction to come out of the Warner Bros. "We also believe TSLA could struggle to scale fleet operations without offering access to demand via Uber/Lyft." Uber is already preparing for a future of electric cars and autonomous vehicles without Tesla's involvement.

With Tesla's hotly anticipated robotaxi event hours away, investors will soon get a glance at what CEO Elon Musk has called the CyberCab. The event comes a week after Tesla reported third-quarter deliveries of 462,890, lifting the number to 1.35 million for the year so far. For all of last year, Tesla reported deliveries of 1.81 million. Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management told CNBC's "Fast Money" on Wednesday, that he'll be at the event and expects to test the robotaxi. Tesla was once seen as a pioneer in autonomous vehicle development, but has never managed to deliver or demonstrate robotaxi technology.

The event featured models of the robotaxi as well as a Robovan, a driverless vehicle designed to carry a larger group of people or items. TeslaBut the delay seemed to matter little to the in-person crowd waiting for the chance to ride in the 50 self-driving vehicles that were cruising around the studio lot. Tesla has long offered what it calls Full Self-Driving or FSD, currently priced at $8,000, as an option on its cars. Musk has insisted that the company’s data shows that FSD is already safer than cars driven by humans. ‘Overly optimistic’This is certainly not the first time that Musk has laid out ambitious time frames for his plans for self-driving cars.

Why the U.S. government is investigating Google

Google, the online search and digital ad goliath, is the first U.S. tech giant to land in federal court fighting antitrust concerns in decades. Google controls an estimated 88% of the market for general search online, according to the August opinion from Judge Mehta. And late in 2023, a jury delivered a guilty verdict against Google in a trial about business practices related to the Google Play app store. In September 2024, Epic filed an additional antitrust lawsuit against Google and Samsung, alleging that the company continued to use its monopoly power to unfairly harm competition. Watch the video above to see why the U.S. government is investigating Google.

New York CNN —Elon Musk and Tesla have pledged a game-changing moment in the company’s history Thursday night. For the last decade, the electric vehicle maker’s CEO has vowed that true self-driving cars from Tesla were right around the corner. And even if the technology is as advanced as Musk likes to claim, getting regulatory approval to operate could be difficult. Tesla and Musk have made promises many, many times before about autonomous vehicle capabilities and when true self-driving would be available. “Either you walk away from the event as a jaw dropping moment, or you walk away with a shrug of shoulders event.”

By 2027, Amazon is forecast to have almost $400 billion in cash, far outpacing its Big Tech rivals.

Meta debuted its Orion augmented reality glasses last week without a consumer release date. AR glasses are a substantial step toward a future that ditches the handheld smartphone for face computers. AdvertisementThe battle of the face computers is here, and Meta just launched a highly compelling salvo. Last Wednesday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled the company's latest innovation, Orion — augmented reality eyewear that weighs about 3.5 ounces. Snap's Spectacles are augmented reality glasses that run on the company's in-house OS.

New York CNN —The social media platform formerly known as Twitter is worth almost 80% less than two years ago when Elon Musk bought it, according to estimates from investment giant Fidelity. The new valuation from Fidelity implies that it believes X is now worth just $9.4 billion — a far cry from the $44 billion that Musk paid. Other investors could value X differently. Ives said that he believes Twitter was really worth around $30 billion when Musk bought it, and today it’s worth closer to $15 billion. “When Musk bought Twitter, investors didn’t realize we’d be taking off on AI as fast as we are,” Munster said.

But some tech analysts contend people are most interested in truly wearable tech, like Orion. Quest is limiting because of its bulk — and Orion AR glasses are an improvement, the analysts said. Some said they're persuaded that augmented-reality wearable glasses like Orion have more potential than mixed-reality headsets, like the bulky Quest. Meta's Quest, pictured in May, doesn't have as much potential as its new Orion glasses, some analysts say.
