Summary
Bloomberg Tech Minute covers SpaceX's demanding hiring culture, which prioritizes raw intelligence and loyalty to Elon Musk over advanced degrees. The segment then shifts to Meta's Q4 earnings, where revenue beat expectations despite a $9.9 billion legal charge and narrowed capex guidance. Analysts discuss the introduction of non-voting Class C stock, linking it to efforts to retain Mark Zuckerberg amid California's proposed billionaire tax.
