Workers say they're struggling with mobile ordersEven former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said in a May LinkedIn post that current Starbucks leadership should "reinvent the mobile ordering and payment platform."

Investment startup Intelligent Alpha is working on launching the Intelligent Omaha ETF , with the ticker AIWB, that relies on AI to emulate the Berkshire Hathaway CEO's investment philosophy and create a portfolio of 25-30 stocks that it thinks Buffett might buy.

An unlikely technology billionaire could come out on top in the battle of the world's richest a year from now. That briefly positioned Ellison as the richest person in the world behind Musk and ahead of Bezos. This could boost the ex-CEO's fortune by $27.8 billion to $203.9 billion, placing him less than $3 billion behind Ellison in stock value. That could mean a windfall for CEO Huang's stock fortune, lifting his stake by $27.2 billion to $128.7 billion. Musk's Tesla stake could decline nearly 11% to $89.6 billion from roughly $100.3 billion as of Thursday's close.

Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw testifies at a hearing before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on protecting public health and the environment in the wake of the Norfolk Southern train derailment and chemical release in East Palestine, Ohio in Washington, D.C., the United States, March 9, 2023.
