Twitter’s Atwitter & Meta’s A-Moving 4/28/22

Ford is cutting 580 U.S. salaried and contract employees as it restructures to focus on EVs. The automaker also reported a net loss of $3.1 billion in the first quarter, largely due the loss in value of a 12% stake in electric vehicle start-up Rivian Automotive. Facebook parent Meta surged 15% after the company reported better-than-expected profit in the first quarter. Rich Greenfield, LightShed Partners co-founder, breaks down how the platform is evolving, and how Mark Zuckerberg’s attitude has shifted. Archegos founder Bill Hwang is free on bail after being formally charged over accusations of a massive stock market fraud. Elon Musk’s bid for Twitter remains contentious, particularly among employees; Alan Guarino, Korn Ferry vice chairman, Tsedal Neeley, Harvard Business School professor, and CNBC’s Jon Fortt discuss Elon Musk’s recent tweet criticizing Twitter’s top lawyer, and whether Musk’s leadership style will drive current Twitter employees away. As a reminder, you can watch Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholders meeting on April 30 on CNBC.com! The Omaha, Nebraska, event gives shareholders a chance to hear Buffett and Munger discuss investing and their economic and life outlooks.
