Year To Date Performances:

1. Tesla is facing labor union challenges in Scandinavia, with its refusal to sign collective bargaining agreements leading to legal and logistical repercussions. This has resulted in strikes and blockades affecting Tesla's operations, including delivery disruptions and solidarity actions by unions across various industries. The situation escalated with PensionDanmark divesting from Tesla stocks due to the company's stance on labor agreements, highlighting a clash with the Nordic labor market system's emphasis on collective bargaining.

2. SpaceX is negotiating a private share offering, potentially valuing the company at over $175 billion. The company, known for rocket launches and its Starlink satellite internet business, expects to generate around $9 billion in revenue this year.

The tender offer's specifics, including size and terms, may vary based on interest from sellers and buyers within SpaceX.
