Last month more than one in five job posts on LinkedIn were for remote (8.4%) or hybrid (13.5%) work, according to new data shared with Sherwood by LinkedIn as part of their ongoing State of the Labor Market reports. That percentage has been relatively stable since November 2023 (flexible jobs peaked at one in four jobs from October 2022-March 2023). Meanwhile, remote postings received 42% of all applications, with hybrid picking up 19.5% of interested applicants.
Tesla is converting its recent $2 billion investment in Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, into a small ownership stake in SpaceX — just months before the rocket maker’s highly anticipated IPO.
Here’s what happened: Tesla announced its xAI investment in late January, after a shareholder proposal to invest fell short last year. Several days later, xAI merged with SpaceX. All three companies are headed by Musk.
Now, regulatory filings with the Federal Trade Commission show Tesla converting that investment into a small stake in SpaceX, formalizing the financial link between the companies ahead of the rocket maker’s IPO. SpaceX is expected to go public this year at a valuation some speculate could top $1.75 trillion, potentially making it the biggest company to ever go public. (The current record holder, Saudi Aramco, went public at a more than $1.7 trillion valuation in 2020.)
While the size of Tesla’s stake wasn’t available, Bloomberg reports that the investment would equate to ownership of less than 1%.
While SpaceX and Tesla have engaged in related-party transactions over the years, Tesla had not previously disclosed an equity investment in SpaceX.
