Lucid pumps $1.5B from Saudi wealth fund after CEO warned relying on its 'bottomless wealth' was 'dangerous'
Saudi Arabia is committing even more money to Lucid Motors as the EV startup struggles to erase its losses. Lucid announced Monday as part of its second-quarter earnings report that an affiliate of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund is committing another $1.5 billion, with half coming in the form of a private placement and the other half as a loan facility. It's the second time Lucid has turned to Saudi Arabia for more money since Lucid's CEO Peter Rawlinson told the Financial Times in a March 2024 interview that he was wary of being over-reliant on the Kingdom's sovereign wealth fund.

Google loses massive antitrust case over search, will appeal ruling
Google will appeal a U.S. District Court judge's opinion Monday that found the technology giant acted illegally to maintain a monopoly in online search. The decision from Judge Amit P. Mehta of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia is a major defeat for Google that could alter the way it does business and even change the structure of the internet as we know it, should the decision stand. Mehta said that Google abused its monopoly power over the search business in part by paying companies like Apple to present its search engine as the default choice on their devices and web browsers.
