Musk wants 25% voting control at Tesla for pursuing his AI Goal

Elon Musk recently made a big statement about his desire to increase his stake in Tesla from his current 13% to 25%, which would effectively give him voting control in Tesla’s boardroom. Musk said that this would help in pursing ambitious AI goals. The tech billionaire warned that he would rather build the AI products outside of Tesla if he doesn’t get the 25% control. Achieving 25% voting control would likely require acquiring additional shares, potentially facing resistance from other shareholders. If this situation doesn’t get resolved amicably then could cause a fresh tension between Musk and Tesla’s existing investors.

Uber to Shut Down its Alcohol Delivery Service

Uber is shutting down its Alcohol Delivery Service app, Drizly, from March 31, 2024. From this date, Drizly won’t operate as a standalone app but will be integrated into Uber Eats, which would allow Uber Eats users to order alcohol alongside food and other items. This latest decision also involves shutting down Uber’s grocery shopping app, Cornershop. Similar to Drizly, its features will be folded into Uber Eats for a unified delivery experience.  Overall, this move seems to be a part of Uber’s cost-cutting strategy and also to give a more streamlined and comprehensive experience to its UberEat customers.
