Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick just reassigned three high-stakes Elon Musk shareholder lawsuits amid accusations that she accidentally “supported” a post celebrating his legal losses. The Delaware judge denied bias claims but moved the cases anyway, creating fresh uncertainty around Tesla’s corporate governance battles. The controversy centers on McCormick’s alleged LinkedIn activity—specifically, a “support” emoji reaction to a post about Musk losing a separate investor lawsuit. Musk’s attorneys pounced on this detail, noting that among reactions to the post, only one person chose “support” over a standard “like.” That deliberate selection, they argued, revealed bias requiring her recusal from Tesla-related cases. McCormick fired back with receipts of her own, claiming the interaction was either accidental or never happened. She reported it as “suspicious activity” to LinkedIn before her account got locked and deactivated. The judge also reminded critics that she dismissed a separate lawsuit against Musk last year, hardly the behavior of a biased opponent. Yet she still reassigned the cases, citing “disproportionate media attention” threatening judicial integrity. The three

The future of work isn't a distant horizon — it's being built right now. Some are experimenting with AI, but most of us feel anxious, navigating rapid change with outdated playbooks. What many don't realize is that our uniquely human skills are what make us irreplaceable. And in today's volatile job market, it's something young people especially can't afford to overlook. At LinkedIn, we wanted to understand what these capabilities actually are, so we talked to neuroscientists, organizational psychologists, behavioral economists, and talent leaders. We landed on five capabilities, focusing on the core inputs that each of us can develop individually and that, in many ways, enable everything else. We call them the 5Cs. 1. Curiosity AI can generate possibilities based on patterns. Humans decide which ones matter and ask, "What if we tried something completely different?" We can harness that curiosity and the openness that comes with it to learn about AI and how it's going to transform our jobs, to understand ourselves and figure out what makes us irreplaceable, and, most importantly, to align our careers with our curiosities.

In this series, we find out what makes female leaders tick. This month, we meet Cara O’Leary from LinkedIn Ireland … On meeting Cara O’Leary, Country Manager at LinkedIn Ireland and Senior Director at LinkedIn Talent Solutions Europe,  I’m immediately struck by her warmth. There’s no sense of performance as she speaks with confidence about the business she leads, the changing world it operates in and what drives her, at work and at home. The third of four children, Cara’s originally from Cork, although much of her childhood was spent between Dublin and Limerick. Based in Dublin for over 25 years, she now lives in Mount Merrion with her husband Conor and their four sons, who fill their home with “noise, laughter and a lot of joy”. Growing up, education was formative – she studied Business and French at the University of Limerick, a time that sparked a lasting interest in travel. From early on, her focus was never on titles, but on doing interesting work. She spent the first 16 years in recruitment, working across Irish firms and US multinationals in fast-paced environments. A pivotal moment came in 2016 when she received an InMail on LinkedIn inviting her to

The US Army is deepening its trench warfare training, drawing on tactics from Ukraine. Graham Flanagan reports. Step inside the trenches: See how US soldiers are training for a potential war with Russia here: https://lnkd.in/ewcsz_AZ Like Comment Transcript Move it to the judge. The US Army is training for trench warfare to prepare for a possible war with Russia. I got exclusive access to the Army's largest overseas training ground in southern Germany, where soldiers use what they've learned seeing the Russia Ukraine war play out on social media. They even have a unit of soldiers called Opt Four who pretend to be the enemy. They wear all black uniforms and use AK style weapons. But when I asked army leaders if the soldiers are training to fight Russia, they would not say yes. They can't because the US isn't officially at war with Russia. But when I asked the Opt for soldiers, they said they are studying Russian tactics. How do you study how to act like Russians? The biggest part of it is the Ukrainian. Question more just saying stuff on it off of like tick tock or Reddit. Just stuff like that. This training simulates the trench

The term uncanny valley refers to the feeling of discomfort one has when coming across some android representation that looks remarkably human, but not quite. Microsoft Teams emojis live in the uncomfortable valley—a phenomenon Senior Tech Writer Rebecca Heilweil defines as the effect one experiences when presented with some kind of image, and there’s an uncomfortable gap between normal-looking and absolutely insane. For example, the Teams “angry” face, which actually shakes in fury, cannot be taken seriously, but it has no irony, either. The “thinking” face seems overly skeptical, and the “upside down” face seems to be having fun, when the whole point of this face is to express irony.

Business Insider’s Post Kimberly Storin, Zoom's lead marketer, shares insights behind its ad campaign with Bowen Yang, highlighting user affinity for its simplicity and tools. https://bit.ly/4sLngmM Zoom's marketing chief explains the insight behind its "revolutionary" campaign businessinsider.com Across our product portfolio and campaigns, we’re proud to help workers continue to Zoom Ahead! Simplicity isn’t a creative choice, it’s a growth strategy. What stands out here is the alignment between product experience and messaging, where the campaign doesn’t just communicate value, it mirrors it. That’s where most brands miss, they market features while users are buying ease, speed, and clarity. When positioning reflects how the product actually feels to use, affinity compounds and performance follows. This is what happens when marketing stops translating the product and starts expressing it. See more comments To view or add a comment, sign in More from this author Explore content categories

A shot of the FanDuel TV studio. (Eric Girard on LinkedIn.) FanDuel TV is the latest FanDuel-branded network heading toward the exit, entering a 20-month phaseout that will eliminate roughly 100 jobs by the end of November, according to the Paulick Report. Studio programming will begin winding down in July, studio shows will be gone entirely by December, and live track production will continue through the end of 2027. The network launched in 1999 as TVG through a joint venture of TV Guide Inc., the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, and AT&T. It was sold to UK-based Betfair in 2008 and didn’t become FanDuel TV until 2022, four years after Betfair acquired FanDuel. In recent years, it expanded beyond horse racing, adding studio programming like Kay Adams’ Up & Adams and the Michelle Beadle-hosted NBA show Run It Back . Andrew Moore, FanDuel’s general manager of racing, told the Paulick Report that those shows will not be affected by the wind-down, describing them as part of FanDuel’s broader sportsbook strategy. “Fans will continue to see all the same races with the same coverage they are accustomed to throughout the entire Triple Crown season,” he said. “There will also be no impact

PHILADELPHIA — We’re not the only ones updating our LinkedIn profiles, scrolling through workaversary posts, and flying through “easy-apply” applications. Last week, Grammy-nominated artist Meek Mill joined LinkedIn, and has already shaken things up on the world’s largest professional networking platform. The “Dreams & Nightmares” rapper and North Philly native said he’s done with the saturation of AI bots, Deep Fake slop, and “gossip people” on X. “We basically in a deep matrix trapped between Instagram, x …, TikTok, snap, etc. we have millions of fans, we can’t even get real data on them, that’s where the bots live, free to control narrative,” Meek tweeted. So, he decided to join...LinkedIn? That’s a surprise and perhaps bit of a disappointment for anyone who has followed his unhinged and unintentionally hilarious tweets, including his memorable rap beefs with the likes of Cassidy, Wale, and Drake. But the Dream Chaser Records CEO said he’s ready to showcase his “true potential.” And he thinks LinkedIn is the perfect platform to do that. “For too long, others have spoken on my behalf, but now I am taking the reins and speaking for myself, supported by a strong team,” Meek wrote in his first LinkedIn post

China allegedly used fake profiles on LinkedIn to gather sensitive information from staff at NATO and European Union institutions, a European security source said Friday. The operation, allegedly orchestrated by Beijing's state security ministry, targeted dozens of employees at the military alliance or EU organisations through fictitious accounts, the source said, confirming reports in French and Belgian media. Posing as recruiters on the online professional networking platform, Chinese spies would initially request paid reports before later soliciting non-public or even classified information. One particularly active fake profile used the name "Kevin Zhang," claiming to be the head of a fictitious Hong Kong-based firm called "Oriental Consulting," the security source told AFP. In return, recruits from countries including France, Belgium and the United Kingdom were paid several hundred – and in some cases several thousand – dollars, the source told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity. For years, "various civil servants, academics and other influential figures around the world have been approached by what turned out to be an agent of the Chinese intelligence services," Belgian Justice Minister Annelies Verlinden told AFP. Through this operation, "a great deal of important information and intelligence may have reached China," she added. She laid
