Musk’s Trial, Microsoft’s Guidance, & Mike Pompeo’s Foreign Policy Reflections 01/25/23

Tesla’s CEO is under oath this week, after shareholders sued him for his tweets in 2018. Axios business editor Dan Primack breaks down Elon Musk’s time in federal court, where he’s defending his infamous “funding secured” tweet. Primack considers Musk’s leadership and the faith his Tesla shareholders are willing to put in him. In a conversation about his new book, “Never Give an Inch,” former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo discusses Russia’s war in Ukraine and the roles of other global powers in ending it. Pompeo reflects on the foreign policy that’s gotten the United States where it is today. Plus, CNBC’s Steve Kovach reports on Microsoft’s weak guidance in its latest financial report, and Rupert Murdoch is calling off a big Fox family reunion.
