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.

All of these trends are weighing on confidence.” “Tesla is reducing its salaried workforce roughly 10% over the next three months or so.

“Elon and I planned to get pregnant again as swiftly as possible. We see each other all the time. We live in separate houses. The news of Musk and Grimes’ daughter came as something of a surprise, as it had been confirmed by Musk himself in December 2021 that they had broken up. The daughter of Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and the founder of SpaceX, has officially filed to have her name changed, removing Musk from her name as she does not wish to be related to her biological father “in any way, shape or form”. There has been no explanation on the rift between Musk and his daughter, however, a month prior to the petition being filed in court, the Tesla and SpaceX chief declared his support for the Republican party, which has repeatedly endorsed a number of legislations that infringe on the rights of transgender individuals across the US.

Elon Musk's daughter comes out as trans and disowns her dad (Dazed)

Vivian Jenna Wilson says she does not 'wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form'

It’s likely Wilson – who is trans – is also seeking to cut ties with her father given his support for the Republican Party, which continues to support legislation to limit transgender rights in states across the US. The petition for a name change and new birth certificate to reflect his daughter’s new gender identity was filed with the Los Angeles County Superior Court in Santa Monica. Elon Musk is probably pretty high up on the list of men you would not want as your father, so it’s unsurprising that Musk’s 18-year-old daughter has applied to legally change her name to Vivian Jenna Wilson because she no longer wants to “live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form”.

She was given the name Xavier Musk at birth, but now wants her name to be Vivian Jenna Wilson. The last name was her mom Justine Musk's maiden name.

Elon was married to Vivian’s mom Justine between 2000 and 2008. The organization's president, Alphonso David, added in a separate statement: “Elon Musk’s tweet mocking pronouns is exactly the opposite of what inclusive leadership looks like today. 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 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.

“Elon Musk's cult of personality seems to be wearing off” – analysts (Verdict)

Tesla founder Elon Musk has accumulated a devoted following on his march to becoming the richest man in the world. However, the cult of personality around ...

The latest firings, combined with Musk dubbing ESG a ‘scam’ in the past, casts doubt on whether the company’s governance will prove a sticking point for its aspirations SpaceX’s quest to Mars feels very distant, but neglecting ESG issues at home will undoubtedly bring SpaceX’s aspirations crashing down to Earth” Indeed, the SpaceX employees’ letter is only the latest in a growing parade of setbacks for the PayPal co-founder. Then, of course, there’s that time he used his online presence to suggest he’d take Tesla private at $420 – a reference to the weed-smoking culture. The Musk cult of personality took a thumping last week on the back of SpaceX firing five employees. If SpaceX continues to disregard the ‘social’ component of ESG, the negative publicity could permanently damage its brand.” Tesla founder Elon Musk has accumulated a devoted following on his march to becoming the richest man in the world.

Elon Musk the Twitter celebrity is not the same as Musk the SpaceX ... (Vox)

Some of the CEO's biggest recent critics are his own employees.

As Musk becomes increasingly divisive on Twitter, a communications platform that he intends to own, how can his employees continue to separate the two personas — social media celebrity and CEO — and do their work without PR distractions? A video of internal Slack messages of employees reacting critically to Musk during the meeting was also leaked on Twitter, with no names redacted. The SpaceX employee letter and its fallout further reveal the dissonance between Elon Musk the genius innovator and Elon Musk the manager. SpaceX has not yet responded to a question on whether Musk was directly involved in firing the employees, but Musk has a reported history of firing critics; in the book Power Play: Tesla, Elon Musk, and the Bet of the Century, author Tim Higgins reports several instances of Musk firing his employees in moments of anger, including people who disagreed with him. That’s the question some of Musk’s employees seem to be grappling with now. The SpaceX letter, and the subsequent firing of the employees involved with it, shows there’s a growing tension between how Musk presents himself as an individual — albeit a very public individual — and how his employees feel represented, or misrepresented, by their CEO. Bloomberg reporter and Musk biographer Ashlee Vance quoted a SpaceX engineer in his book Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future who said that “the treatment of staff was not good for long stretches of this era.” The employee recalled some engineers “being blamed for things they hadn’t done” and fired. “Elon’s behavior in the public sphere is a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment for us, particularly in recent weeks,” the letter reads. “Tesla has created a toxic workplace culture grounded in racist and sexist abuse and discrimination against its own employees,” Chau said in the suit. The letter focused on Musk’s behavior on Twitter, where he has been increasingly vocal about US politics and his criticisms of the Democratic Party, which he says has swerved too far to the left. The firings followed a Verge report on Thursday about the letter, which represents the first time such a document from employees to Musk has surfaced, and marks one of the most public concerted actions to date against Musk from employees of one of his companies. And more people, including his own employees, have begun raising questions about the increasingly blurry line between his Twitter persona and his role as the leader of several major companies.
