Elon Musk announced that xAI has acquired X in an all-stock deal, valuing xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion. Meanwhile, Block is laying off 931 employees as part of a restructuring, and 23andMe has filed for bankruptcy, with co-founder Anne Wojcicki planning to bid for the company. Additionally, a leaked database reveals China's advanced AI censorship capabilities, and Rivian's skunkworks project has spun out as a new company called Also, securing $105 million in funding.
Bank of America is warning customers that accounts not meeting requirements may be canceled, with dormant accounts potentially turned over to the state under escheat laws. Customers planning large payments via Zelle should be aware of daily and monthly limits of $3,000 and $20,000, respectively, to avoid missing financial obligations.
Asian shares showed mixed results, with Chinese markets declining after a rally on Wall Street driven by tariff hopes. The Nikkei 225 rose 0.3%, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 2.2%. U.S. futures dipped slightly, and oil prices remained stable as investors await key economic updates this week.
DNA testing company 23andMe has filed for bankruptcy as interest in its services declines. The firm, once a leader in genetic testing, is facing challenges in maintaining demand amid changing consumer preferences.
The video telemedicine market is projected to grow from $2.51 billion in 2023 to $5.67 billion by 2028, driven by the rise in chronic diseases and advancements in technology. Key players include Teladoc Health and Cisco Systems, with North America leading the market. Enhanced cybersecurity and personalized solutions are emerging trends shaping the industry's future.
23andMe reported a revenue decline to $44.1 million for the fiscal second quarter, down from $50 million last year, alongside a net loss of $59.1 million. The company plans to cut 40% of its workforce, discontinue its therapeutics business, and is exploring strategic options to maximize value. CEO Anne Wojcicki aims to refocus on the core consumer business while considering taking the company private.
23andMe faces potential bankruptcy, raising concerns over the fate of customer DNA data, particularly for Swiss users, where genetic data is generally well protected. Despite claims of data security, the company’s policies allow for data sale during acquisitions, and past breaches have compromised sensitive information. With a significant drop in value and management turmoil, the future of 23andMe and its handling of genetic data remains uncertain.
23andMe has appointed three new independent directors—Andre Fernandez, Jim Frankola, and Mark Jensen—following the abrupt resignation of all seven previous directors due to disagreements over the company's strategic direction. The new board members will serve on the audit and compensation committees, with Jensen as the lead independent director. The company has faced challenges since going public in 2021, including a significant drop in stock value, prompting discussions about taking the company private.
23andMe, once valued at $6 billion, has seen its worth plummet by 98% and is at risk of being delisted from Nasdaq after the resignation of all independent board members. The company, which aimed to innovate genetic testing and drug discovery, reported a $312 million net loss in 2023, compounded by privacy concerns following a data breach affecting nearly 7 million customers. CEO Anne Wojcicki's proposal to take the company private was rejected, and with a looming deadline to maintain its share price above $1, 23andMe faces significant challenges ahead.
