Trump to extend TikTok sale deadline another 90 days

TikTok is getting another lifeline. President Trump is set to sign an executive order that would push the divest-or-ban deadline for the popular social media app back by another 90 days.

On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reinforced that the administration doesn’t want the app to go dark and will “ensure [a] deal is closed.”

This is the third time the date has been pushed back. In January, the app was offline in the US for just a day before coming back online and eventually being reinstated on the Google Play and Apple App store. The new deadline would push the current deadline, originally this Thursday, to around mid-September.

GM has reportedly rehired more than 100 former Cruise employees, 18 months after shuttering the robotaxi unit

GM has rehired more than 100 employees it let go early last year when it shuttered Cruise, its former robotaxi business, according to reporting by The Information.

The hiring spree, which also includes employees from Nvidia and Uber, is geared toward ramping up GM’s plans for personal-use self-driving vehicles and not robotaxis. The former had been the focus of Cruise, prior to GM shuttering it in 2024.

Reporting last fall revealed that GM was attempting to rehire some former Cruise employees, but the scope of that effort wasn’t clear. More than 1,000 employees were laid off when the automaker scrapped Cruise, which it invested $10 billion into.

Google’s Waymo, Cruise’s former chief rival, is now worth $126 billion after a $16 billion funding round earlier this year. The company says it’s serving 500,000 paid robotaxi rides per week in the US.
