Elon Musk Pledges Round-the-Clock Work After X Outage

Elon Musk's social media platform, X, encountered a major disruption on Saturday, May 24, 2025, with the outage impacting over 25,800 users at its height. This incident primarily affected users in the United States, but several other countries were also influenced, as reported by Reuters.

In reaction to this outage, Musk took to X to announce his return to a '24/7' work schedule. He is redirecting his efforts toward not only restoring X but also advancing his other ventures including xAI, Tesla, and the anticipated Starship launch. He underlined the critical importance of these technologies in his commitment.

Previously this year, in March 2025, Musk attributed various issues with X to a 'massive cyberattack.' This event was characterized as being orchestrated by either an expansive, coordinated group or possibly a nation-state, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Musk’s redoubled dedication comes amidst scrutiny from investors over his political involvement and its connection to reduced Tesla sales. In response, he has assured a decrease in political activities to focus more on his businesses, as covered by Reuters.

Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Makes Bold Bet on Amazon

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman, through Pershing Square Capital Management, has recently made waves with a major investment in Amazon. The hedge fund acquired Amazon shares last month, seizing the opportunity presented by a dip in stock prices influenced by tariff concerns. This strategic move indicates Ackman's anticipation of Amazon's continued earnings growth despite potential tariff impacts, as reported by Reuters. To capitalize on this opportunity, Pershing Square adjusted its portfolio by selling its stake in Canadian Pacific, a decision Ackman labeled 'with regret.' Additionally, the firm expanded its holdings in companies like Hertz and Uber, while scaling back positions in Chipotle, Hilton, and Universal Music Group. They also converted Nike shares into call options as part of their broader investment strategy. Ackman expressed strong confidence in Amazon's leadership under CEO Andrew Jassy, betting on his ability to expand profit margins and revenue alike. This strategic shift reflects Pershing Square's adaptive approach to changing market dynamics, as highlighted by the recent moves to balance their investment portfolio.

Netflix Targets $1 Trillion Valuation by 2030

Netflix has announced a bold goal to achieve a $1 trillion market capitalization by the year 2030. This ambitious target involves significant growth in both revenue and subscriber numbers, making it a noteworthy development in the streaming industry. To reach this goal, Netflix plans to nearly double its annual revenue from $39 billion in 2024 to $80 billion by 2030. Moreover, the company aims to triple its operating income from $10 billion to $30 billion over the same period. An essential part of Netflix's strategy includes expanding its subscriber base from 301.6 million in 2024 to around 410 million by 2030, focusing particularly on international markets such as India and Brazil. In addition to these revenue and subscriber growth targets, Netflix looks to increase its global ad sales significantly—from approximately $2.12 billion in 2024 to $9 billion by 2030, according to analysis from sharesmagazine.co.uk. For Netflix to reach its market cap goal of $1 trillion, the company needs to add $585 billion in valuation over the coming years, which translates to a compound annual growth rate of about 20%. This rate is notably higher than the historical average of the S&P 500's growth. Achieving this milestone would position Netflix among the elite ranking of trillion-dollar companies alongside tech giants like Apple and Microsoft.
