Elon Musk is rumored to be leaving Twitter.

Tesla Inc. shares were among the market leaders in growth during the US premarket. Elon Musk's departure from Twitter Inc., a social network that has recently distracted him from running the electric car manufacturer, caused quotes to rise by more than 5% at one point. Musk asked users to weigh in on whether they thought he should step down as CEO in a survey that he released yesterday to refresh their memory. Fifty-eight percent of Twitter users wanted Musk to step down as CEO.

Let me remind you that Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, sold roughly 22 million Tesla shares last week for a total value of about $3.6 billion. This money most likely went toward paying off debts that became apparent to him soon after he acquired Twitter in a deal estimated to be worth $ 44 billion.

Premarket

After agreeing to be acquired by competing defense contractor L3Harris Technologies for $4.7 billion, or $58 per share in cash, Aerojet Rocketdyne's stock price increased. L3Harris shares dropped 1.7%, while Aerojet Rocketdyne shares increased 2%.

After the airline said it was finalizing a deal to run regional flights for United Airlines, Mesa securities increased 6.8% in the premarket.

In contrast, after the New York Post reported that the Diamond Sports Group, owned by Sinclair and runs 21 locations of the regional sports network, was likely to file for bankruptcy, shares of Sinclair fell 4.4% in the premarket.

Concerning Meta, the European Commission declared today that Facebook's parent company might break EU antitrust laws by abusing its dominant position in online advertising. If it is determined that these laws have been broken, the EU further stated that Meta could be fined up to 10% of its annual income. Shares of Meta decreased 1.4% in premarket trading.

After Atlantic Equities changed its rating from "neutral" to "buy," Warner Music shares increased by 3% in premarket trading. The company claimed that despite the challenging economic environment, Warner Music can still sustain normal streaming growth.

The well-known vaccine manufacturer Moderna saw an increase in the premarket share price of 3.8% after the company's shares were upgraded to "buy" from "hold."

According to the S&P500's technical picture, the index might keep declining. Today, securing $3,828 will be of utmost importance. We can anticipate a rise in demand as long as trading is done above this range. Additionally, this establishes favorable conditions for strengthening the trading instrument to $3,858, potentially reaching $3,891. The $3,923 is a little higher and will be challenging to surpass. Buyers have to declare themselves around $3,828 in the event of a downward movement, as pressure on the index will increase below these levels. The trading instrument's closest target is the $3,773 region, and the breakdown will quickly push it to $3,802.
