NEW YORK (ANP) - De Amerikaanse aandelenbeurzen zijn donderdag hard omlaaggegaan. Vooral techaandelen moesten het ontgelden door slecht ontvangen cijfers van grote techbedrijven en nieuwe zorgen over de houdbaarheid van de forse investeringen in AI. Onder meer Meta Platforms verloor fors nadat het moederbedrijf van Facebook de boeken had geopend.

De onderneming van topman Mark Zuckerberg kampte door de enorme AI-uitgaven voor het eerst in ruim tien jaar met een negatieve kasstroom. Ook kondigde Meta plannen aan om aandelen zonder stemrecht uit te geven om kapitaal op te halen voor nog meer investeringen. Dit alles maakte beleggers zenuwachtig, hoewel Meta afgelopen kwartaal wel betere resultaten liet zien dan door kenners werd verwacht. Het aandeel zakte 7 procent.

Tesla leverde na cijfers ruim 3 procent in. De fabrikant van elektrische auto's zag de winst flink dalen. Ook verlaagde het bedrijf de prognose voor de kapitaaluitgaven dit jaar. Dit roept vragen op over het tempo waarin Tesla zijn AI- en robotica-activiteiten uitbreidt.

Who got bored to death in the castle – and who is left with extreme yawning paranoia? Follow all the action along with us

Kemp’s death has rattled everyone. It makes no sense to anyone, least of all Jerry Hall (who survived by the skin of her teeth) who has to be sat down and told that Ross Kemp was murdered.

OK, FLASHBACK TIME! We’re back in the yawning room. Is anyone going to yawn? YES. And it’s ROSS KEMP. The man who was hysterically paranoid about being murdered in plain sight has been murdered in plain sight. As he dies, he quotes Shakespeare. It’s the famous part of Romeo and Juliet where Benvolio freaks out because Bella Ramsey puts a hat on him.
