Elon Musk Accused of Insider Trading
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is facing allegations of insider trading, accused of selling $7.5 billion worth of Tesla shares in late 2022 before releasing disappointing sales data that sent the stock price plummeting to a two-year low. The lawsuit claims Musk knew the sales data would be poor and sold his shares to avoid losses, breaching his fiduciary duties to shareholders. Musk's legal troubles continue, with this case adding to his ongoing challenges.
Zoom CEO Discusses AI Integration
Zoom CEO Eric Yuan discussed the integration of AI into the company's products, including meeting summaries and digital avatars. He emphasized the need for customized AI models and the importance of embracing change in the AI era. Yuan also touched on the challenges of balancing innovation with quarterly pressures and the need for a bold vision.
