The tech industry, considered a beacon of bullish sentiment by some in 2021, has turned sour in 2022.
Laden with rising interest rates and slowing consumer spending, the sector has experienced a slew of layoffs coming from the industry’s most prominent members. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: FB), Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) and Upstart Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: UPST) – all super performers in 2021 – have announced plans for a workforce culling. For Meta, as many as 11,000 jobs are on the line.
Twitter, meanwhile, has witnessed quite the tug-of-war in the fight over its ownership. Elon Musk, its proposed buyer, had filed to purchase the company for $44 billion but later attempted to back out of the deal. The billionaire’s turnaround incited a lawsuit from Twitter’s executive team. In a series of events that triggered a media frenzy, debate over the number of spam bots on Twitter and the uncovering of Musk’s private messages, Twitter was finally placed in the hands of Musk at the original $44 billion valuation.
Each of these developments has had a tremendous impact on the world. For investors, the layoffs raised concerns over the sustainability of what many perceive to be “immortal” companies. Meta’s stock, for one, has fallen by 70% in 2022. In the case of Twitter, its importance to the public arises not just from its stock price but from its significant implications on society and politics. For example, Musk has reinstated several previously-banned accounts on the platform in an apparent effort to promote free speech, inciting debate, outrage and questions from many about the foundations of free speech on the internet and in America.
With such a significant impact on society, politics and finance, developments in the technology sector deserve special attention. All stakeholders would do well to monitor them carefully – Luckily, that’s just what FiscalNote (NYSE: NOTE) lets you do.
