ALL THE MONEY NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Wed Jun 5 2024

 

Daniel de Visé Personal Finance Reporter

Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money.

Suddenly, Elon Musk's rebranding of Twitter seems prescient.

The platform known as X now officially allows users to post, view and share adult nudity and sexual content, Anthony Robledo reports.

Under the updated policy, Elon Musk's social media platform will allow consensually produced and distributed adult pornographic content, so long as its "properly labeled and not prominently displayed," whatever that means on a platform of cascading blurbs.

Prompts for big tips spark backlash

Signs of backlash against "tipflation" are emerging, Medora Lee reports, but not enough to make them go away.

A survey by the personal finance site Bankrate finds that the frequency of tipping has generally declined in every category, including restaurant servers and rideshare and taxi drivers.

Remember Trump Media's debut on Wall Street?

Buoyed by legions of avid supporters, Donald Trump made a bubbly entrance on the Nasdaq stock exchange back in late March, Bailey Schulz and Jessica Guynn report.

Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group soared like helium from the opening bell and maintained most of those gains until late in the trading day. A selloff brought Trump's namesake social media company closer to earth, with a closing market value of nearly $8 billion, on par with ride-hailing company Lyft and online marketplace Etsy.

In the weeks and months since, the stock has had a wild ride.

3. Undertipping     Speaking of bigger tips: Some restaurants now figure a service charges into their prices so that servers and other personnel can be guaranteed a decent salary. In most places, though, restaurant servers work for far less than minimum wage, with the shortfall theoretically made up for by tips. Nothing is more petty for a diner than to nickel-and-dime those who have served the meal. Don't be stingy, even if you have   complaints about the service. If you're the one sitting at the table, chances are pretty good the server needs that extra couple of bucks more than you do. (If you have a truly bad experience with service, leave a minimal tip â€" say 10% â€" and let the manager know.)

A report by Code for Africa revealed that in 2020 when job losses soared during the Covid-19 pandemic 33 scam recruitment Facebook accounts, groups and pages with more than 184,000 followers targeted people in Kenya, requiring them to send about 350 Kenyan shillings ($3) before placements that never materialized.   Syndicates behind these scams rely on the desperation of job seekers who fail to double-check the authenticity of job postings and send money without hesitation to secure employment, said Kenyan cyber security expert Anthony Muiyuro.
