Elon Musk Wants to Buy Twitter After All, We’ll Tell You What Could Change at the Company


Listen Later

Elon Musk has done an about-face and offered to close his deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion.  If both parties agree, they can avert a trial set for later in the month.  Should the deal go through, many expect a lot of changes in the company such as layoffs, lighter content moderation, and adding more functionality.  Musk has said he wants to build a “super app” with offerings similar to WeChat.  Jeremy Owens, SF Bureau Chief and tech editor at MarketWatch, joins us for what to know.

 

Next, as high inflation continues to batter Americans, the effects are starting to weigh more and more.  A recent report said that 60% of Americans are now living paycheck to paycheck and even high-income earners are feeling the strain.  Of those earning more than six figures, 45% of them are in the same boat.  At the same time people are feeling a recession fatigue and finding it hard to stay disciplined.  Jessica Dickler, personal finance reporter at CNBC, joins us for more.

 

Finally, a new survey from Morning Consult is identifying the brands that Gen Z loves the most.  They are crazy for tech and junk food!  YouTube, Google and Netflix are among their favorite corporate brands and then there is M&Ms, Doritos, and KitKat.  Jennifer Kingson, chief correspondent at Axios, joins us for Gen Z’s favorites as they mature into more spending power.
