Elon Musk warns of supply constraints; Doha gas deals at Qatar Forum (Business Standard)

Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk told the Qatar Economic Forum that supply constraints are the biggest brake on the electric-car maker's growth.

TotalEnergies SE of France and Italy’s Eni SpA have also bought stakes, while Shell Plc and Exxon Mobil Corp. are among the others making bids. “At peak, these two discoveries could bring $5.6 billion to a very small economy, doubling the GDP by 2040,” Comalie said, without giving details on when fields could start production or how much oil will be pumped. “We’re getting very close,” as measures of consumer confidence, retail sales, manufacturing activity and housing are all slowing down sharply while inflation is high, he said on Bloomberg TV. Exxon Mobil Corp. said global oil markets may remain tight for another three to five years largely because of a lack of investment since the pandemic began. Jobs cuts at the electric-car maker will lead to a 3.5% reduction in headcount, he said. State-run QatarEnergy is scheduled to announce another deal on Tuesday, and Al-Kaabi said Exxon Mobil will get a stake.

Elon Musk Says U.S. Recession Is 'Inevitable,' More Likely In The ... (Forbes)

Tesla CEO and billionaire Elon Musk said the U.S. economy will likely face a recession in the near term in an interview with Bloomberg on Tuesday, ...

Besides Musk, several other top business leaders in the U.S. have flagged concerns about an upcoming recession in the U.S. Speaking two days before the Fed’s rate hike, Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman placed the odds of a recession at “50-50” up from an earlier prediction of 30%. Gorman, however, said that a “deep or long recession” was unlikely. The billionaire, however, remained non-committal about supporting Donald Trump’s candidacy, stating he was “undecided at this point.” The survey in question was conducted in May, several weeks before the Federal Reserve’s steep hike in interest rates, which heightened concerns about a downturn. Dimon said his bank is preparing for “bad outcomes.” Similarly, Wells Fargo CEO Charles Scharf in May said it will be “hard to avoid some kind of recession” but he did not expect it to be a deep recession. The measure was undertaken after data from the Labor Department showed that consumer prices in the U.S. were at a 40-year high with annual inflation surging to 8.6% in May. Previously, in an internal email to Tesla executives, Musk said he had a “super bad feeling” about the economy as he called for layoffs in the company.

A recession in the near term is "more likely than not," he said. The company has also faced allegations of racism against Black workers. "Anything that relates to Tesla gets big headlines, whether it is a bicycle accident or something much more serious." Salaried workers account for about two-thirds of Tesla employees, he added. A report earlier this month from Reuters said Musk wanted to cut 10% of jobs, citing an internal email penned by the Tesla CEO. In the memo, Musk reportedly said he has a "super bad feeling" about the economy.

Elon was married to Vivian’s mom Justine between 2000 and 2008.

It’s also decidedly out of step with the best practices we advise companies. “I cannot support hate. But five months later, in December 2020, the billionaire shared a cartoon of a soldier smearing blood on his face while wearing a hat with the slogan: “I love to oppress.” The cartoon had the caption: “When you put he/ him in ur bio.” In July of that year, Elon posted: “Pronouns suck” to his social media page, but deleted it after his on-again off-again girlfriend Grimes confronted him.

Twitter's huge move on $63bn Musk deal (NEWS.com.au)

Twitter has made a big decision that puts more pressure on Elon Musk to complete his mega deal, but the Tesla founder is still casting doubt on the plan.

“There are still a few unresolved matters,” Mr Musk said by video link. He said that if the deal went ahead his role would be to “drive the product”, saying this is what he did at Tesla and SpaceX. “So I think generally the approach of Twitter should be to let people say what they want within the balance of the law but then limit who sees that based on any given Twitter user preferences.” “So I think these are the three things that need to resolved” to make the transaction happen. “So we are still awaiting resolution on that matter and that is a very significant matter,” the Tesla car and SpaceX exploration chief said. That would be great deal for Twitter investors but not so good for Mr Musk who would end up overpaying for the company.

Elon Musk And The Super Alluring Dream For A 'Super App' (Forbes)

Musk wants Twitter to be more like Chinese platform WeChat, a common but unfulfilled dream among Silicon Valley moguls.

Which is telling about how Dorsey must’ve viewed the chances of a super app succeeding in the U.S. I think a super app would run into antitrust and anticompetition obstacles in the United States.” If Musk did pull off what the rest of Silicon Valley hasn’t been able to and gets his super app, it would be a big commercial operation. Largely, the U.S. companies have struggled to tie in the payments part of WeChat’s ecosystem to their own. WeChat takes in revenue through ads and collects a portion of the money that flows through its app. And Instagram has made great hay out of its expanded shopping tools, including the ability to check out directly through its app. And when I went to work in Beijing from 2016 to 2018, that was when I really got to know the system pretty well.” It is a commercial triumph, but it must exist hand in hand with China’s censors. Its business is long-undersized compared to the platform’s presence in culture and politics. Only remember the TikTok part of Trump’s efforts? Those apps and others developed by WeChat, like the PayPal-esque WeChat Pay, connect every facet of life in China through QR codes: hailing a cab, buying groceries, booking a doctor’s visit, purchasing insurance. (At the meeting, he also discussed the possibility of alien life.) But his thinking about WeChat isn’t, though it is not especially novel.

Twitter Board Again Urges Shareholders To OK Elon Musk Takeover ... (Deadline)

Twitter's board of directors urged shareholders to approve Elon Musk's $44 billion takeover. But Musk says "unresolved" issues remain.

In addition to the financial aspects of the Twitter deal, Musk fielded questions about what stance he would take on the nature of content that would be allowed on the platform. “There’s this big difference between freedom of speech and freedom of reach, in that one can in the United States go to the middle of Times Square and yell pretty much anything you want. “That is an appealing system to use.” Eventually, he said, the goal would be to get “80% of North America and half the world” onto Twitter, which would be a steep increase from the current level of 229 million daily active users. In an SEC filing this morning, Twitter warned shareholders that if the deal does not go through, “the price of our common stock may decline significantly.” The balance of the funding will come via a yet-to-be-finalized set of bank loans. “That’s probably not most users’ experience,” he said at the Qatar event, in which he took part virtually.

Why Elon Musk Still Isn't Ready to Wrap Up Twitter Deal (Vanity Fair)

As Twitter's board endorses his $44 billion bid, the billionaire Tesla chief says there are “a few unresolved matters” holding up the works.

Rounding out the three issues that “need to be resolved” before the Twitter buyout can be completed is the question of whether the debt financing for the deal will “come together,” Musk said at the forum. “I think I am undecided at this point on that election,” Musk said. Earlier this month, a Twitter spokesperson said that the company is cooperating with Musk’s data requests and plans to “close the transaction and enforce the merger agreement at the agreed price and terms.” Still, the company is currently trading at $38.63, a far cry from Musk’s $54.20-per-share offer price and a sign of continued market skepticism toward the deal’s viability. “As to whether there is a recession in the near term, I think that is more likely than not. During a remote Q&A at Bloomberg’s Qatar Economic Forum on Tuesday, Musk asserted that “there are still a few unresolved matters” in regard to the deal going through, including whether Twitter’s shareholders will approve it.
