Today on Equity, we're digging into the week’s headlines, from browsers and search to AI and social, and why Google and Meta's antitrust cases have us wondering if they’re really breaking up monopolies or just passing the baton to the next dominant player.

Listen to the full episode to hear about:

Tesla’s massive 71% profit drop and how Elon Musk is doubling down on Tesla and AI
How Mati Carbon took home the grand prize from this year’s Xprize Carbon Removal competition
Vibe coding, Cursor, and which AI-powered coding tool OpenAI has its sights on acquiring next
The $91.5 billion raised by U.S. startups in Q1—and why more than half of it went to just 10 companies

Equity will be back next week, so stay tuned!
