Tesla won its fight over a record-breaking pay package for Chief Executive Elon Musk that was approved by shareholders in 2018, ending the yearslong legal battle over his compensation that grew in value to total $139 billion. In an opinion issued Friday, the Delaware Supreme Court said the lower court’s ruling would have deprived Musk of compensation for several years of work, and therefore he should get the full pay package. The court’s opinion reversed the 2024 decision from Delaware’s Chancery Court to rescind Musk’s pay package after the lower court found that Tesla’s directors were beholden to its CEO and that the approval process for the pay deal was tainted and lacked transparency.

Wall Street ends higher as tech rally continues

TikTok's future uncertain after US joint venture deal, says analyst

<body>STORY: The deal to hand control of TikTok’s U.S. operations to a group of investors, including Oracle, marked a major turning point after years of uncertainty over the future of the popular video app.But former Peking University business professor Jeffrey Towson says it raises new questions about the new entity’s ability to compete."It's not obvious what happens with this company going forward because you just went from a global platform to a regional one, but your competitors are still global. Their primary competitors are YouTube and Facebook, Instagram reels. Well, if they're separate, then they are dramatically smaller than the global giants, which was not the case last month. So that has some interesting, sort of, business strategy and competition questions that get raised."The deal is aimed at avoiding a U.S. ban of the short video app, which is used regularly by more than 170 million Americans.It comes after a yearslong saga to force TikTok's Chinese owner ByteDance to sell its U.S. operation, which began in August 2020, when President Donald Trump first tried unsuccessfully to ban the app over U.S. national security concerns.Financial terms of the deal, announced in an internal memo by TikTok (U.S.) seen by Reuters, were not disclosed.The White House said in September the new joint venture would operate TikTok's U.S. app, but questions remain about the deal, including the business relationships between the new joint venture and ByteDance… which will still own about 20% of the U.S. company.Sources told Reuters in September that ByteDance would also own a separate division that would control the revenue-generating business operations such as e-commerce and advertising.Those arrangements formed the deal framework announced on Thursday, two sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Friday."The big question is still, is Chinese government going to approve this? Because they've never actually said that they would. The Trump administration has said its been approved by them, but we've never actually heard anything from the Chinese government formally. Now, who knows what's going on behind closed doors? In theory, that could happen quite quickly or it could emerge as a problem. I suspect it's probably not a problem, but we don't actually know the other major party at the table in terms of the decision making here."Oracle will own the majority of the joint venture along with private equity group Silver Lake and Abu Dhabi-based MGX.Shares of Oracle rose as much as 8% in Friday morning trading.</body>

Does Oracle or Microsoft have more to lose if OpenAI underperforms?

The wait for Yahoo Finance's 2025 Company of the Year is over, and the winner is private artificial intelligence giant and ChatGPT parent company OpenAI (OPAI.PVT). D.A. Davidson's head of technology research, Gil Luria, told Yahoo Finance last week that stakeholder Microsoft (MSFT) will be the biggest gainer from OpenAI's success, while Oracle (ORCL) may have the most to lose if OpenAI's artificial intelligence visions don't pan out. Epistrophy Capital Research Chief Market Strategist Cory Johnson explains Oracle's business strategy while managing its debt. Johnson is also the host of The Drill Down Podcast. Be sure to watch Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi's full interview with OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar.
