Elon Musk’s xAI Plans, $5 McDonald’s Meals, & SeatGeek CEO 05/28/24

The McDonald’s $5 value meal is coming in June, aimed at relieving inflation-weary consumers. But franchisees are also inflation-weary; Scott Rodrick, a franchisee in California, discusses the pressures at his restaurants and the difficulty of offering value in a high-cost environment. The Department of Justice has filed an antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation, aiming to split up the parent company and Ticketmaster, its subsidiary. CEO of competitor SeatGeek Jack Groetzinger discusses competition for ticketing and best experiences for fans. The Tesla shareholder vote on Elon Musk’s pay deal is coming soon, but it’s only one of multiple weekend headlines on the tech billionaire. Musk’s startup xAI has notched another $6B in funding, pushing the company’s valuation to $24B. Musk is also reportedly planning an xAI supercomputer. Plus, China has created a nearly $48B fund to back Chinese chip companies, CNBC’s Eunice Yoon reports.
