The Morning After: Intel's CEO just suddenly retired
Briefly

Pat Gelsinger's retirement marks the end of an era at Intel, where he led the company through significant workforce reductions and strategic challenges. With over 40 years at Intel and nearly four years as CEO, his departure is significant, as he oversaw the company during tumultuous times, including layoffs affecting 20% of staff in late 2022 and an additional 15,000 layoffs in 2023 as part of a $10 billion cost-reduction plan.
Gelsinger's leadership came during a challenging period, where Intel had to undertake corporation-wide layoffs and strategic shifts to navigate a changing tech landscape. His exit comes at a critical time, as the board has initiated a search for a new CEO to guide the company forward amidst ongoing challenges, including competition in the semiconductor industry and internal restructuring efforts.
Amidst these significant changes in leadership, the tech landscape is buzzing with activity; Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has become the first individual to achieve one million followers on Bluesky, a social media platform experiencing rapid growth after Twitter's transformation. This surge is reflective of shifting social media dynamics post-election.
Tesla has announced that SiriusXM integration will finally be available for the Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertruck as part of the upcoming 2024 Holiday Update. Users will need Tesla Premium Connectivity or an active Wi-Fi connection to access the feature, catering to a long-standing request from EV owners.
