November 3, 2025, 7:26 AM EST. Tesla's October registrations plunged in Europe, with Sweden down 89%, Denmark 86% and Norway 50%, underscoring ongoing struggles for the company in the region. By contrast, France posted a small gain of about 2.4% as total market growth reached 2.9%. Analysts say an aging Tesla lineup and intensified competition from legacy automakers and Chinese brands-such as BYD, Xpeng, and Zeekr-are reshaping the European EV landscape, with Denmark seeing outsales by these upstarts. Through September, Tesla's Europe sales were down 28.5% versus 2024. The company has also faced reputational headwinds tied to Elon Musk's political stances in Europe. Overall, October's data align with a broader European slowdown for the EV maker.

November 3, 2025, 7:22 AM EST. Meta Platforms posted a strong Q3 with revenue up 26% to $51.2 billion and ad metrics improving, as active users rose 8% to 3.54 billion, impressions +14% and price per ad +10%. But GAAP earnings were pressured by a one-time tax adjustment, offsetting results; excluding that hit, EPS rose to $7.25 from $6.03, topping the $6.71 consensus. The company's operating margin narrowed to 40% as it boosted R&D for AI. Investors reacted to the call for a notably larger capital expenditure plan in 2026-guidance rose to around $70-72 billion, higher than 2025-while Meta reiterated that its cloud business isn't like other big AI players. The stock fell about 6% after hours as funds weighed the scale of the AI buildout against near-term profits.

November 3, 2025, 7:08 AM EST. The FCC has approved a 3-0 vote enabling new powers under the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act to add companies to a Covered List and retroactively revoke approvals. If a required security review by December 23, 2025 is not completed, DJI could be placed on the Covered List, blocking new imports of DJI drones, gimbals, and Osmo devices. Current drones remain usable, but repairs, updates, and parts could face future restrictions. The rule creates a 30-day public comment period and allows retroactive bans on models authorized after December 23, 2024, potentially affecting popular devices like the Mini 5 Pro. DJI and policymakers are urging a fair, evidence-based process.

November 3, 2025, 7:06 AM EST. Google has pulled Gemma, its AI Studio model, from the developer-focused platform after Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn alleged the tool fabricated a criminal accusation about her. Google said Gemma is not meant for factual answers and is not a consumer tool; access on AI Studio was removed but remains available to developers via the API. Blackburn, who raised the issue at a Senate hearing, claimed Gemma stated she had been accused of rape and even suggested fake news articles to support the claim. Google stressed it is committed to reducing hallucinations and improving its models. The incident underscores ongoing challenges around AI accuracy, defamation risks, and the tension between tech platforms and political scrutiny.
