Musk’s XAI Deal Offers an Unexpected Win for X Investors Mar 31, 2025

Show notes

Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.
Bloomberg News Technology Reporter Kurt Wagner discusses Elon Musk acquiring the social network formerly known as Twitter for the second time in three years.
Musk, the world’s richest person, on March 28 used his artificial intelligence startup, xAI, to purchase his social media platform in an all-stock deal that values X at $33 billion, not including debt. The new joint entity, which will be called XAI Holdings, has a value of more than $100 billion, again excluding debt, Bloomberg News reported.
The deal was a surprise, but not necessarily shocking: The two businesses have worked together closely since xAI’s founding in 2023, including on data licensing and product distribution for xAI’s chatbot, Grok. They also share many of the same investors, and in some cases, employees even share office space in Palo Alto, California.
The transaction valued xAI at $80 billion, Musk said — a jump from a valuation of about $50 billion in November, the last time the company raised money from investors. The $33 billion equity value of X in the deal is about the same as its valuation in a recently closed funding round, and also close to Musk’s take-private price in 2022, which also counted $12 billion in debt.
Chris Brigati, Chief Investment Officer at SWBC, talks about avoiding panic-trading in volatile markets. Jacqui Canney, Chief People & AI Enablement Officer at ServiceNow, explains why today’s leaders need to be building an AI-first workforce.

Bloomberg News News IPO Reporter Ryan Gould and Bloomberg News Equities Reporter Bailey Lipschultz break down CoreWeave shares slipping on Friday in its market debut after the cloud-computing provider raised $1.5 billion in a downsized initial public offering.
The company’s stock opened at $39 each on Friday, below the $40 per share initial public offering. The cloud-computing provider sold 37.5 million shares at $40 apiece, down from an initial plan of 49 million shares at $47 to $55 each that might have raised as much as $2.7 billion.
Nvidia Corp., an existing investor in CoreWeave, anchored the share sale with an order of about $250 million, a person with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg, asking not to be identified because the information was private. Representatives for Nvidia declined to comment.

Trump’s Auto Tariffs, Threats on Allies Intensify Trade War Mar 27, 2025

Show notes

Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.
Bloomberg News News Senior Reporter Jennifer Dlouhy discusses President Trump signing a proclamation to implement a 25% tariff on auto imports and pledged harsher punishment on the EU and Canada if they join forces against the US, expanding a trade war and triggering threats of retaliation.
“What we’re going to be doing is a 25% tariff on all cars that are not made in the United States,” Trump said at the White House on Wednesday as he pushed ahead with a program seeking to bring more manufacturing jobs to the US.
Hours later, Trump suggested further tariffs would be imposed on the European Union and Canada if they worked together “to do economic harm” to the US. The reaction in currency markets including the euro and Canadian dollar was muted, and the S&P 500 fluctuated to start the day Thursday.
Bloomberg Economics US Economist Stuart Paul explains what Trump’s auto tariffs could mean for GDP and inflation. Katie Hubbard, EVP of Capital Markets for Walton Global, shares her thoughts on US housing data. Austin Walker, CEO of A.
