BUSINESS — TESLA RECALLED 2 MILLION + VEHICLES
Due to a non-compliance with the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA) guidelines regarding font size for warning lights, ~ 2.2M EVs are being recalled in the U.S. The font size of warning light text (specifically on park, brake, and antilock brake) is too small according to the admin and is considered a major safety concern. The affected models include the Model S, Model X, Model 3, Model Y, and the Cybertruck.

LIFESTYLE — TIKTOK ISN’T AS POPULAR AS YOU THINK
Older generations are still using more Youtube, Instagram, and Facebook compared to Tiktok. People between the ages of 18 to 29 report using the three above with rates higher than 67% for each, while Tiktok rates sit at 62%. Also, despite negative reports or being called the dinosaur of social media, Facebook is still robust with 3 billion monthly active users globally.

WORK LIFE — SURVIVE BEING A 24/7 BOSS
The stressful nature of the CEO role can majorly impact people’s health. There have been instances of fatal heart attacks recorded too. The highest number of executive deaths occurred last year (since 2010) where 19 individuals passed away in office, and in 2023 there was a record 1,914 CEO exits. A study conducted by the National Bureau of Economic Research actually suggested that industrywide downturns reduce CEOs' life expectancies by 1.5 years!
