French President Emmanuel Macron & Live Nation’s ‘Monopoly’ 5/23/24

The Department of Justice has sued Live Nation, the parent of Ticketmaster. Attorney General Merrick Garland alleged that the company “relies on unlawful, anticompetitive conduct to exercise its monopolistic control over the live events industry in the United States at the cost of fans, artists, smaller promoters, and venue operators.” Tim Wu, former Special Assistant to the President for Technology and Competition Policy, considers the DOJ’s potential actions moving forward. In Paris, Andrew Ross Sorkin sat down with French President Emmanuel Macron for an exclusive, extended interview. The discussion spans Federal Reserve and European Central Bank policy, as well as the Israel-Hamas War and funding to rebuild Gaza. Plus, Nvidia’s revenue more than tripled in its latest quarter.
