Fueled by AI Hype, Google Becomes Fourth Company to Pass $3 Trillion Market Cap

On Monday, Google’s parent company, Alphabet, became the fourth company to reach a market value of $3 trillion, and every member of this exclusive club has something in common. All it took was a rather small 4% rise in shares for the tech giant to hit the coveted stock market benchmark. Rather unsurprisingly, the three previous winners of that title—Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple—are all titans of the tech industry that have been riding the wave of investor interest in AI, as well. Alphabet stoc

Tesla Proposes a Trillion-Dollar Bet That It's More Than Just Cars

For a while now, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has seemed awfully distracted. His past few years in non-Tesla activities include: buying and renaming Twitter; going all in on President Donald Trump’s election campaign and then an obscure Wisconsin Supreme Court race; a lot of babymaking, plus attendant drama; and months spent standing up the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. Meanwhile, Tesla sales have slid as the electric-car maker faces fierce competition from Chinese manufacturers and rej

Tesla Announces Plans to Give Elon Musk $1 Trillion

Tesla's board has proposed an unprecedented pay package for its CEO Elon Musk: around $1 trillion worth of shares, Bloomberg reports. It's a major escalation in the firm's increasingly desperate attempts to encourage its highly divisive leader to stick around and stay attentive.

Tesla’s board is asking shareholders to sign off on a massive, unprecedented pay package that could turn its CEO, Elon Musk, who is already the world’s richest man, into the first trillionaire. If the plan is approved, Musk would need to reach several performance benchmarks over the next 10 years to get the full payout. The board said in a securities filing on Friday that the pay package’s primary goal is to retain “Mr. Musk to lead Tesla through its next phase of transformational growth.” In

Tesla proposes new pay package for Elon Musk worth up to $1T

Tesla has proposed a new 10-year compensation plan for CEO Elon Musk that could be worth as much as $1 trillion even as the EV maker’s car business stumbles and it sets its sights on humanoid robotics and AI. The company has tied the compensation to a number of benchmarks, one of which involves increasing Tesla’s overall valuation from around $1 trillion to more than $8 trillion. The plan would grant Musk more than 423 million additional shares in the company, boosting his level of control to a

US national debt reaches a record $37T, the Treasury Department reports

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government’s gross national debt has surpassed $37 trillion, a record number that highlights the accelerating debt on America’s balance sheet and increased cost pressures on taxpayers.
