Quick Glance: Elon Musk's Clash with Brazil's Supreme Court
- Serial entrepreneur Elon Musk has been publicly criticizing Alexandre de Moraes, one of Brazil's Supreme Court judges, for the past week.

- Mr. Moraes then initiated an inquiry against Mr. Musk for obstruction of justice, leading Mr. Musk to claim that censorship in Brazil is worse than in any other country where the platform operates.
- The row highlights the power of Brazil's Supreme Court and the debate on regulating social media without harming freedom of speech, which is a crucial battleground in Brazil.

- Despite Musk's claims of advocating for free speech, the implementation of these principles on the platform has been inconsistent under his direction, especially concerning government requests to deactivate accounts.

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
- A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.
- The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

- The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Quick Glance: PayPal: Potential of an Underestimated Growth Tale
- Investors in PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL) have experienced a roller coaster ride over the past two months following PayPal's relatively weak guidance at its fourth-quarter earnings call in early February 2024.
- CEO Alex Chriss highlighted that he has 'overhauled the majority of the leadership team.' Such significant changes at the top management level could introduce execution risks as the competitive landscape intensifies.
- Nevertheless, it's clear that the market has lost confidence in PayPal's ability to execute as PYPL is still almost 80% below its all-time highs.
- PayPal provided a forecast for adjusted earnings per share for 2024 that is expected to be 'in line' with the $5.1 metric achieved in 2023. However, the management of PayPal emphasized their confidence in the substantial undervaluation of PYPL and plans to repurchase shares worth at least $5 billion for 2024.
