Quick Glance: Elon Musk and Tesla: Influence of CEO's divisive behavior on company's challenges
  • The wealthiest individual globally freely voices his opinions, often sparking debate.

  • Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, has attacked U.S. election integrity, embraced White-supremacist propaganda, and accused President Joe Biden of treason.

  • Experts suggest that Musk's conduct may deter potential customers, but larger issues impact his company. With growing competition in the electric vehicle market, his polarizing personality could lead to more significant long-term damage.

  • While Musk may be damaging Tesla’s image with some consumers, the primary focus remains on the product and its dependability. Many consumers do not base their purchasing decisions on the political views of the company's leader.

Quick Glance: The Sports Bra Announces Franchising Plans with Investment from Reddit Co-Founder Alexis Ohanian
  • The Sports Bra, a now-iconic Portland destination that made history as the first women’s sports bar in the world, has announced plans to franchise and expand into other cities.

  • Investment from Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian - the husband of tennis legend Serena Williams - will fund the effort in partnership with Ohanian’s 776 Foundation. All returns from the investment will be invested back into girls’ and women’s sports via the foundation, the Sports Bra wrote in a post on Instagram.

  • Owner Jenny Nguyen opened The Sports Bra in Portland in 2022, and the business thrived in a city and state that has consistently showcased strong support for women’s sports.

  • But the growing hype around women’s sports is not unique to Portland. The popularity of women’s professional sports has seen a significant national uptick thanks, in part, to the emerging stardom of athletes like Sophia Smith, Caitlin Clark and others.
