Uber’s drive for ‘super app’ status

Trading in the world’s second-largest IPO of 2024 begins on Tuesday, but retail investors have given a lukewarm reception to Hyundai Motor India’s listing. A coalition of oil-producing African countries is seeking $5bn to fund projects on the continent, and Boeing’s largest labour union will vote on Wednesday whether to end a costly strike. Uber has explored a possible bid for Expedia, in what would be the company’s largest acquisition. Plus, Elon Musk pledges to pay $1mn per day to random registered voters who sign his petition.
