🗞️ News

$300B Net Worth

Elon Musk's net worth has surpassed $300 billion for the first time in nearly three years. This surge follows optimism surrounding President-elect Donald Trump's administration which is expected to favor Musk's businesses. Tesla's stock jumped 28% this week, contributing significantly to Musk's wealth increase of $50 billion.

Musk is reportedly set to lead a new Department of Government Efficiency under Trump aimed at cutting regulations and government spending. His close ties with Trump could enhance opportunities for Tesla and SpaceX amid a favorable political climate.

Salesforce Hiring Plans

Salesforce plans to hire over 1,000 employees to enhance sales for its new generative AI product Agentforce. CEO Marc Benioff noted the strong momentum since Agentforce's launch two weeks ago, with positive feedback from clients. This AI layer allows businesses to create autonomous agents for tasks like customer support and sales development. Salesforce aims to leverage these agents to improve efficiency and customer experiences.

The company is also investing $50 million in AI training initiatives to address skill gaps within its workforce.

Trump 2.0

Donald Trump has begun shaping his second administration by announcing key appointments, including Congresswoman Elise Stefanik as UN ambassador and Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff for policy. His focus appears to be on hard-line immigration policies and a strong stance against China, with figures like Mike Waltz and Marco Rubio likely to play significant roles in national security.

Trump is also leveraging the influence of Elon Musk, who will help streamline government operations. The president-elect's strategy indicates a preference for executive actions over legislative collaboration as he prioritizes loyalty among his appointees.

That’s it for now!
