Elon Musk is feuding with Brazil’s powerful Supreme Court: The court has become the de facto regulator of social media in the country

economist.com/the-americas/2024/04/14/elon-musk-is-feuding-with-brazils-powerful-supreme-court

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.

The dispute revolves around X, a social media company owned by Mr. Musk, which announced on April 6th that a Brazilian court had ordered it to block a set of 'popular' accounts or face hefty fines.

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.

Tesla cuts prices around the world as sales decline in a chaotic week: Global vehicle deliveries fall for first time in four years amid growing competition ...

Quick Glance: Tesla cuts prices in US, China and Germany as competition intensifies

Tesla has announced aggressive price cuts in China and Germany, shortly after reducing prices in the United States, as the world’s largest maker of electric vehicles (EV) faces declining sales and growing competition in major markets.

The prices of four models were slashed in China by 14,000 yuan ($1,932), while in Germany, the price of the Model 3 rear-wheel drive was lowered by 2,000 euros ($2,132). Earlier cuts were made in the US, with prices of three models reduced, while prices for the Model 3 and Cybertruck remained unchanged.

The price cuts come during a tough time for Tesla, with a significant stock plunge and a drop in quarterly deliveries. Elon Musk postponed his planned India trip due to company obligations. In China, Tesla's price cuts escalate an existing price war in a highly competitive sector influenced by other manufacturers like BYD offering more affordable options.

The price wars in China began in 2022 and continue with over 30 car makers announcing further price reductions, impacting the entire auto industry's profit margins. Competitors like BYD and XPeng are also offering subsidies and lowering prices to attract buyers in the EV market, posing challenges to Tesla's market dominance.

Quick Glance: Tesla aims to potentially launch its humanoid robot Optimus next year, Elon Musk suggests

Elon Musk hinted at the possibility of Tesla introducing its humanoid robot Optimus to the market next year. The company plans to deploy the robot in its own factory by the year's end.

Not long ago, Tesla revealed “Optimus Gen 2”, a new iteration of its humanoid robot designed to assume repetitive human tasks.

Tesla's confidence in achieving this stems from its utilization of AI technologies in the self-driving vehicle sector and its proficiency in battery and electric motor innovations. The notion that its vehicles are essentially robots on wheels was posited.

Envisioning a future where households incorporate a Tesla Optimus robot that assumes various manufacturing and service roles, the CEO's perspective is clear.

ft.com/content/3b13e0c2-78f7-473e-924c-923649832f25

Quick Glance: Tesla Cybertruck Recall and Stock Decline 2024

Elon Musk's underlings at Tesla Inc. are accustomed to chaos, but this year has been particularly turbulent. The stock price has plummeted, there has been confusion around product decisions and price cuts. Tesla's position in the Chinese EV market is under threat, and a meeting with India's Prime Minister for a planned investment announcement was abruptly called off.

Tesla is expected to report a significant drop in operating profit and its first revenue decline in four years. Musk has ordered massive layoffs and is staking the company's future on a self-driving vehicle concept called the robotaxi. Many employees are unsettled by the changes the CEO wants to implement.

Musk has been discussing the concept of an autonomous taxi service for at least eight years, but Tesla has not yet built the infrastructure required for it. The focus is now on the robotaxi instead of a cheaper mass-market vehicle that many investors deem crucial. Key managers have left the company, and analysts are concerned about Tesla's strategy.

Musk has announced that more than 10% of the workforce will be laid off. Transitioning to the robotaxi service is risky, as regulation at the state and local level can be challenging. Nevertheless, Musk is betting on Tesla making robotaxis a reality by promoting FSD and cutting prices. Some of the Tesla layoffs were poorly organized and perceived as humiliating.

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: Musk criticizes Australian court 'censorship' of terror posts

Elon Musk lashed out at Australia's prime minister after a court ordered his social media company X to take down footage of an alleged terrorist attack in Sydney.

X was directed to temporarily hide posts showing video of the incident where a teenager was charged with terrorism for knifing an Assyrian priest and others.

Musk questioned whether the Prime Minister should have jurisdiction over the entire internet and emphasized the importance of free speech.

The incident sets up a new conflict between major internet platforms and countries and nonprofits seeking more oversight of the content hosted on them.

Musk was expected to announce an investment of $2 billion to $3 billion, mainly to build a factory in India, following the government's policy of lowering high tariffs on imported cars if companies invest locally.

His planned Sunday arrival was set to follow two days after the start of India's national elections, where Modi is projected to secure a rare third term.

Reasons for the trip postponement were not immediately disclosed, and neither Tesla nor Modi's office responded promptly to requests for comments.

Quick Glance: Tesla Shares Plummet Below $150, Erasing Year's Gains

Tesla's stock tumbled below $150 per share, erasing all gains made in the past year, reflecting falling sales and deep discounts to attract buyers.

Shares of Tesla have fallen by 12.4% this week and over 39% this year, accompanied by a global staff reduction of 10% amounting to around 14,000 jobs.

Tesla's stock hit an all-time high in November 2021 but sales plummeted last quarter due to increased competition and failed price cuts to bolster demand.

Anticipated lower first-quarter earnings for Tesla raise concerns about potential catalysts to reverse the stock decline amidst uncertainties surrounding the release of a new affordable electric vehicle and strategic shifts within the company.
