About this episode
A Delaware judge has invalidated Tesla CEO Elon Musk's $56 billion pay package, citing the board's failure to prove its fairness and lack of evidence regarding negotiations. Thousands have been laid off across the tech industry, including at Microsoft, Alphabet, eBay, and PayPal. Alex Kantrowitz, founder of Big Technology, considers AI’s impact on the workforce. Starbucks lowered its same store sales forecasts and reported a growth in iced drinks, in its latest quarter. CFO Rachel Ruggeri outlines the company's first quarter, its 2024 outlook, and consumer appetite, abroad and at home. Plus, Nikki Haley is still fundraising from billionaires, and Universal Music Group will pull its music–like that of Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo–off of TikTok.
