Elon Musk to Nintendo: Weekly Figures

This Week's Figures

1 trillion dollars is the amount that Tesla CEO Elon Musk could earn from the automaker's shares over the next decade. However, necessary payments will reduce this value to 878 billion dollars.

This situation arose after Musk received shareholder approval to have the largest corporate compensation package in history. Most investors supported the vision of turning the electric vehicle manufacturer into a major player in artificial intelligence and robotics. Tesla's board indicated that Musk could leave the company if the compensation plan was not approved.

38 billion dollars is the value of the agreement signed between OpenAI and Amazon. This seven-year agreement allows the ChatGPT developer to purchase cloud services from Amazon. This was a significant step for OpenAI to achieve its artificial intelligence goals following a restructuring that provided more operational and financial freedom. Additionally, the firm has access to hundreds of thousands of Nvidia graphics processors to train and run AI models.

It was reported that transportation officials in the United States requested a 10% cut in flights at 40 major airports. However, later this plan was modified to a 4% cut for domestic flights before reaching the full 10% by November 14. This decision was made during the longest government shutdown in the country’s history. The shutdown has led to 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 transportation security agents working without pay, causing staff shortages and flight delays.

342 million dollars is the operating profit that Nissan achieved in the latest quarter. This is the best quarterly result for the Japanese automaker in over a year, easily surpassing expectations. The profit was largely achieved due to Nissan's efforts to reduce fixed costs as part of its restructuring plan and strong sales in North America.

19 million is the number of Switch 2 consoles that Nintendo expects to sell this fiscal year. This figure is higher than the Japanese gaming giant initially anticipated. Customers have shown interest in games like "Mario Kart World" and "Donkey Kong Bonanza." Nintendo also updated its full-year operating profit forecast by 16% to 2.45 billion dollars.
