SoftBank will likely try to spin off Arm through an IPO in the coming months - Bloomberg
The Journal fills us in on the behind-the-scenes drama between Apollo co-founders Leon Black and Josh Harris that’s bubbled into a very public spat, with Black accusing Harris “of plotting his removal from Apollo in an act of revenge for being passed over to succeed Mr. Black as chief executive officer” - WSJ and Bloomberg
Troubled airplane maker Boeing, in hopes that its bets on other air-adjacent companies can help make up for its own dismal performance of late, graced self-flying electric air taxi startup Wisk Aero with an “additional $450 million investment” - NYTimes and WSJ
