Episode Can Meta Turn Muse’s Popularity Into Profits?
A.M. Edition for Oct. 22. As the U.S. and Israel signal a possible escalation, Middle Eastern mediators scramble to give new life to talks with Iran. While President Trump said he won’t attack before the midterms, WSJ’s Middle East correspondent Benoit Faucon said he’s recently sounded some hawkish notes. Plus, tech stocks sell off globally after a bevy of earnings releases from AI companies disappoint investors and put an abrupt stop to Wednesday’s relief rally. And Mark Zuckerberg agrees to stay in California, for now, as Meta splits its stock to potentially help him pay a future tax bill. Luke Vargas hosts.
