Episode 181: JetBlue $3.6B Offer, Hyundai Battery Plant, Boeing Starliner

<p>Spirit Airlines CEO Ted Christie on Thursday laid bare the reasons his company rejected JetBlue Airways’ $3.6 billion offer to buy the ultra-low-cost carrier, and went so far as to suggest that the bid may have been intended to stop Spirit’s planned merger with Frontier Airlines. Airlines are looking to restructure and build for the summer. Hyundai Motor said on Sunday it plans to invest $5 billion in the U.S. by 2025 to further develop mobility technologies in areas like autonomous driving, robotics, and A.I. The investment comes alongside the automaker’s recent announcement of a plan to spend $5.54 billion to build its first dedicated electric vehicle and battery manufacturing facilities in the U.S., located outside of Savannah, Georgia. That facility is expected to open during the first half of 2025 and is projected to have an annual production capacity of 300,000 vehicles. Hyundai will have to compete with the current American automakers that have EV's on the market. These companies include Tesla, General Motors, and Ford. Boeing is set to make another attempt to reach the International Space Station with its Starliner capsule Thursday, nearly 2 1/2 years after the company’s first mission fell short. Boeing has been developing its Starliner spacecraft under NASA’s Commercial Crew program, having won nearly $5 billion in contracts to build the capsule. The company competes under the program against Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which completed development of its Crew Dragon spacecraft and is now on its fourth operational human spaceflight for NASA.</p> <p>📚Books: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=reginald+seay&amp;crid=XNP2FB40Q3TH&amp;sprefix=reginald+seay%2Caps%2C232&amp;ref=nb_sb_noss</p> <p>📚 Course: https://market-marauders-complete-guides.teachable.com/p/the-complete-guide-to-cryptocurrency</p> <p>📚Website: www.marketmarauders.net</p> <p>🦩Twitter: @yourequest</p> <p>😎Instagram: market_marauders</p> <p>📧Email: reg24k@gmail.com</p> <p>🚧 DISCLAIMER🚧</p> <p>I am not a qualified licensed investment advisor.
