Elon Musk's health tech company Neuralink labeled itself a "small disadvantaged business" in a federal filing with the U.S. Small Business Administration, shortly before a financing round valued the company at $9 billion.

While Warner Bros. Discovery celebrates the success of DC Studios’ Superman, the true winners from this past weekend’s blockbuster may have more in common with Krypto. The Superdog who stole the movie has inspired an uptick in pet adoption interest. According to dog-training app Woofz, “Google searches for ‘adopt a dog near me’ jumped up 513%” in the days after the James Gunn-directed film’s opening weekend, while “‘rescue dog adoption near me’ hit 163% in increase.” And it makes sense, as Gunn
