<ul class="summary-list"><li>Famed talent agency CAA is the latest company to cut ties with Kanye West following his recent antisemitic remarks.</li><li>In addition, film and TV studio MRC said it's shelving a completed documentary about the rapper.</li></ul>The fallout from Kanye West's recent antisemitic rants keeps growing.On Monday, multiple news outlets reported that famed talent agency CAA has dropped Ye, as he is now known.The same day, film and TV studio MRC said it's shelving a completed documentary on the rapper and Yeezy entrepreneur.Executives Modi Wiczyk, Asif Satchu, and Scott Tenley said in a memo that "we cannot support any content that amplifies his platform," <a href="https://variety.com/2022/film/news/kanye-west-documentary-canceled-antisemitic-comments-1235412625/">Variety</a> reported."Kanye is a producer and sampler of music," the memo reads. "Last week he sampled and remixed a classic tune that has charted for over 3,000 years — the lie that Jews are evil and conspire to control the world for their own gain.""The silence from leaders and corporations when it comes to Kanye or antisemitism in general is dismaying but not surprising," the memo continued. "What is new and sad, is the fear Jews have about speaking out in their own defense."The news comes after Ye posted an antisemitic message on Twitter earlier this month saying he was "going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE." His account <a href="https://www.insider.com/ye-locked-out-twitter-account-following-antisemitic-comments-report-2022-10">was subsequently locked</a> because the tweet violated Twitter's policies.This weekend, a group of demonstrators were seen at a Los Angeles freeway overpass <a href="https://abc7.com/405-freeay-banners-antisemitic-nazi/12368248/">holding signs</a> that read, "Kanye is right about the Jews."CAA and MRC are just the latest companies to sever ties with West, joining <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/balenciaga-gap-yeezy-adidas-fashion-brands-dumped-kanye-west-2022-10">a list that includes Balenciaga and Vogue</a>.The announcements add to mounting pressure on Adidas to do the same. Earlier this month, the company said its partnership with West was "under review," and the Anti-Defamation League has since <a href="https://www.adl.org/resources/letter/adl-letter-adidas-executives-regarding-kanye-west">called on Adidas</a> to "reconsider supporting the Ye product line."Last month, West said he <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kanye-west-adidas-gap-yeezy-contracts-expire-go-it-alone-2022-9">would "go it alone"</a> after his deals with Adidas and Gap expired in 2026 and 2030, respectively. In early October, he released a 30-minute video in which <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kanye-west-seems-show-adidas-porn-allege-ideas-stolen-video-2022-10">he appeared to show porn to Adidas executives and accused them of stealing his ideas</a>.West has also made headlines recently for <a href="https://www.insider.com/kanye-west-sports-white-lives-matter-shirt-2022-10">donning a "White Lives Matter" shirt</a> to his Yeezy fashion show at Paris Fashion Week and for <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kanye-west-to-acquire-free-speech-social-media-platform-parler-2022-10">entering into a deal to buy right-wing social media platform Parler</a>, which he <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kanye-west-parler-deal-people-bullied-thought-police-media-2022-10">says he was moved to do after being restricted on Twitter and Instagram</a>. The latter platform had restricted West's account after he posted a screenshot appearing to show a text exchange in which he told Sean "Diddy" Combs, "Ima use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me."On Monday, West's ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, <a href="https://www.insider.com/kim-kardashian-appears-to-respond-kanye-west-antisemitic-comments-2022-10">appeared to address West's antisemitic remarks</a> in a message of her own, writing on Twitter, "Hate speech is never OK or excusable. I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end."

Kanye West has reportedly been dumped by talent agency CAA, and a film studio has scrapped a finished documentary about the rapper in the wake of his antisemitic remarks

Maye Musk has continually pushed boundaries in her career, from posing nude on the <a href="https://nymag.com/news/features/mothers-over-50-2011-10/">cover of New York Magazine</a> in 2011 to becoming <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/27/fashion/covergirl-maye-musk-elon-musk.html">CoverGirl's oldest spokesperson</a> at the age of 69."If I thought I could be a swimsuit model for Sports Illustrated, people would have locked me away as a crazy lady," Maye Musk said in a <a href="https://swimsuit.si.com/video/maye-musk-dives-deep-family-career-finding-fulfillment">video</a> released by the magazine. "I'm very excited to let people know that women in their 70s are gorgeous," she added.Long before her son became the one of the richest men in the world, Maye Musk had already developed a prolific modeling career. She has appeared on the covers of multiple high-profile magazines, including Vogue and Time, played a role in a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4r4lysSgLE">Beyonce music video</a>, and been featured in numerous ads for brands like Revlon and Special K cereal."I was famous until Elon became famous," Maye Musk <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/01/fashion/elon-musk-mother-maye-musk-model-met-gala.html">told The New York Times</a> in 2016.Success seems to run in the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-family-maye-musk-kimbal-musk-grimes-talulah-riley-2020-5#tosca-musk-elon-musks-younger-sister-runs-a-streaming-service-called-passionflix-4">family</a> and Elon Musk — the billionaire entrepreneur behind PayPay, <keyword id="11900744" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="tesla" source="Orion">Tesla</keyword>, and <keyword id="11908743" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="spacex" source="Orion">SpaceX</keyword> — is not the only one to make a mark.

And her daughter, <a href="https://twitter.com/toscamusk">Tosca Musk</a>, runs her own <a href="https://passionflix.com/">streaming service</a> and is an award-winning producer and director of films and television shows."They followed their passions, and they all went in different directions," Maye Musk <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/maye-musk-on-raising-successful-children-leveling-up-her-career-2020-1">told Insider</a> in a 2020 interview.But that success didn't come easily for Maye Musk or her children. <h2>Early life</h2>Maye Musk <a href="http://www.modelmayemusk.com/">has been modeling</a> since she was 15 and was a <a href="https://twitter.com/mayemusk/status/651412931054145537?lang=en">finalist</a> in the 1969 Miss South Africa beauty competition, but it wasn't until recent years that she could afford to take modeling gigs simply because she wanted to.That's because she was hustling to raise three children as a single mother while earning two master's degrees and establishing a career as a model, dietitian, and nutritionist. Maye Musk married <keyword id="13876086" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="errol-musk" source="Orion">Errol Musk</keyword> in 1970. The two went to high school together, according to her most recent book, <a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?amazonTrackingID=biauto-54871-20&amp;postID=55a6c3022acae78b0e8b6dd3&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FWoman-Makes-Plan-Lifetime-Adventure%2Fdp%2F1984878506">"A Woman Makes A Plan." </a>Elon Musk's father is an engineer from South Africa, per <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/elon-musk-the-architect-of-tomorrow-120850/">a 2017 Rolling Stone profile</a>. Maye Musk <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/a29663489/maye-musk-memoir-interview-2019/">told Harper's Bazaar</a> in 2019 that their marriage quickly went downhill and described the relationship as abusive. <keyword id="13876086" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="errol-musk" source="Orion">Errol Musk</keyword> told Rolling Stone that he has never intentionally hurt anyone, excluding one scenario where he said he shot and killed three people who illegally entered his house.<div type="image" title="Errol Musk" height="659" width="878" msid="91444310" hostid="261"></div>Maye Musk became pregnant with Elon Musk during the couple's honeymoon, she told Insider in a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/maye-musk-on-raising-successful-children-leveling-up-her-career-2020-1">2020 interview.</a> The two were married for nearly a decade. Maye Musk said in her book that she wanted to leave the relationship, but the <a href="http://www.saflii.org/za/legis/consol_act/da197990/#:~:text=(1)%20A%20court%20may%20grant,of%20a%20normal%20marriage%20relationship">Divorce Act</a>, which legalized the termination of a marriage in South Africa, was not enacted until 1979. The couple was divorced the same year the law was passed.Elon Musk is estranged from his father, and he told Rolling Stone that his father is "a terrible human being."<h2>Five jobs at once</h2>In 1989, Maye Musk moved with her family from Johannesburg in South Africa to Toronto. The model told CNBC in <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/01/elon-musks-mom-worked-5-jobs-to-raise-3-kids-after-her-divorce.html">a 2018 interview</a> that she had to work five jobs to make ends meet.She worked as a research officer for the University of Toronto so that her children could go to school there for free, and taught modeling and nutrition classes two nights a week. All while working on her practice and studying to become a registered dietitian.The family lived in a small rent-controlled apartment in Toronto. "We spent three weeks just taking staples out of the floor and removing the wallpaper, which was covered in green velvet vines and was peeling," Maye Musk told Insider in 2015.<div type="image" title="Maye Musk is seen outside the Jason Wu show during New York Fashion Week: Women's A/W 2018 on February 9, 2018 in New York City." height="702" width="936" msid="91444311" hostid="261"></div>The apartment was bare when they initially moved in. "And the first thing we did, after the first salary I got, [was] we got an inexpensive carpet put down because we didn't have chairs or anything," she said in 2015. "And the second thing we got was a computer for Elon. And so he would sit on the floor at his computer."Maye Musk recalls a time when the family couldn't afford to buy red meat for dinner. In the early 1990s, one of her clients who owned an abattoir (or slaughterhouse) would give the family a roast every month, even though he had no idea the family couldn't afford to buy one themselves."He gave us this huge roast once a month for the three of [my kids]," she said in 2015. "And I'd cut it in four, freeze three [pieces], and we would have a roast once a week that we could share."The whole Musk family worked hard to support each other during that time.<keyword id="13876085" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="tosca-musk" source="Orion">Tosca Musk</keyword> worked at an upscale grocery store near their apartment while she went to school, and Maye Musk helped Elon Musk get a job at Microsoft before he went to college through the husband of one of her colleagues worked there. Later on, she also helped her sons find jobs at a bank through a friend.<h2>'I never helped my kids'</h2>Despite her achievements, Maye Musk insists that her influence isn't responsible for the success of her children, including Elon Musk."I never helped my kids," Maye Musk told Insider in 2015. "I was working too hard. My kids had to be responsible for themselves."Elon Musk, in particular, had tried his hardest in school, but only in the subjects he liked, Maye Musk said.<div type="image" title="Elon Musk, the Chairman of the Board of Tesla Motors, a high performance electric car company, is photographed at the company's headquarters in San Carlos, California on November 28, 2006." height="768" width="1024" msid="91444312" hostid="261"></div>"He knew everything, but he was the youngest and the smallest in his class," she said in 2015.Elon Musk <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-reveals-question-driven-motivating-philosophy-meaning-life-2022-4">took an interest</a> in books, computer programming, and investing early on. Even at 14 years old, Maye Musk <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-mother-maye-stock-advice-since-young-age-2022-5">said</a> Elon Musk had shown a passion for investing. Last year, Maye Musk <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-mother-maye-stock-advice-since-young-age-2022-5">recalled</a> how she helped her teenage son invest 1000 South African Rands into a stock he felt passionate about.Although Maye Musk says she didn't have much influence on the success of her children, she played a big role in helping both of her sons get their first company up and running.<h2>Her 'best investment ever'</h2>In 1995, Elon Musk and <keyword id="12264460" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="kimbal-musk" source="Orion">Kimbal Musk</keyword> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-rise-of-elon-musk-2016-7">started Zip2</a>, a software company that provided business directories and maps to media companies and ecommerce clients.At the time, Maye Musk was running her dietetics practice in Toronto and was preparing to publish her first book, <a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?amazonTrackingID=biauto-54871-20&amp;postID=55a6c3022acae78b0e8b6dd3&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FFeel-Fantastic-Maye-Musk%2Fdp%2F0771573847">"Feel Fantastic." </a>In addition to the multiple jobs she held at the time, Maye Musk worked tirelessly to help her sons start their first business. She started by encouraging Kimbal Musk to get more involved in the business after he had racked up her phone bill by constantly calling Elon Musk, who had moved to Silicon Valley.<div type="image" title="SpaceX founder Elon Musk embraces his brother, Kimbal Musk, after being recognized by U.S. Vice President Mike Pence at NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building following the successful launch of a Falcon 9 rocket with the Crew Dragon spacecraft from pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center on May 20, 2020." height="655" width="874" msid="91444314" hostid="261"></div>"[Kimbal Musk] would come over to my office at night to discuss business with Elon by phone," she said. "When my phone account reached $800 per month, I told Kimbal to stop working and join Elon."Since Maye Musk still lived in Toronto when Zip2 was getting started, she would fly out to Silicon Valley every six weeks. Maye Musk said she helped her sons with everything from the company's business plan to supervising interns and taking care of printing and office expenses. She also bought them food, clothes, and furniture at the time.Some time around 1996, Maye Musk donated all of her savings, which amounted to $10,000, to cover the office rental and expenses.She calls it her "best investment ever."Maye Musk was even up until 2 a.m. with Kimbal Musk at Kinko's helping him print out colored copies of Zip2's presentations to investors. "That night we were exhausted and exhilarated," she said in 2015. "We went to the best restaurant in Palo Alto, and I told them this was the last time I would use my credit card for our dinners. And that has been true."By 1997 and 1998, Zip2 began to really take off, and both Elon Musk and Kimbal Musk became busier with board meetings. Maye Musk was asked to meet with the company every week while running her practice and juggling modeling gigs. "I would rent a car every Friday night, do the Nordstrom fashion shows on Saturday morning at 8:30 am in San Francisco, San Jose, or Sacramento, and then drive to their office for our weekly business meeting," she said in 2015. <h2>Her children made — and kept — an ambitious promise</h2>Maye Musk eventually moved to San Francisco for two-and-a-half years to be closer to her children and the business, before moving to New York in 1999. Back when the brothers and <keyword id="13876085" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="tosca-musk" source="Orion">Tosca Musk</keyword> were all working at Zip2, before the company sold, they couldn't afford to buy a big gift for their mother's 50th birthday.Instead, they made her a promise."They gave me a little toy house and a little toy car the size of a matchbox and said, 'One day we'll buy you the real thing,'" she said.Zip2 eventually sold to Compaq Computer for around $300 million, and the Musk children kept their word.Since, Maye Musk has been an outspoken supporter of Elon Musk on social media. She's promoted her son's work at Twitter, and she's also never been afraid to go to bat for her kids. In 2021, she repeatedly <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-mom-mocks-biden-gm-electrified-entire-auto-industry-2021-11">derided</a> the Biden Administration for largely ignoring <keyword id="11900744" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="tesla" source="Orion">Tesla</keyword>'s role in the movement toward electric cars.<div type="image" title="Elon Musk with his mother Maye during his Saturday Night Live monologue on Saturday, May 8, 2021" height="683" width="910" msid="91444315" hostid="261"></div>Maye Musk told Insider in 2015 that she wishes the world would understand the well-intentioned mind of her son."Elon's intention is just to do whatever is possible in physics and engineering to make this planet better," she said. "People think there's an ulterior motive, but there isn't. That's all he's striving to do. And that really upsets me, when they think 'Oh, he's looking for more money.' No, he's never done that."Now, most of Maye Musk's days are spent modeling, promoting her latest book, and maintaining her nutrition practice. Maye Musk has been <a href="https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/maye-musk-ebonee-davis-caa-fashion-1234697580/">signed</a> by the Creative Artists Agency (CAA).But she and her children still find time to meet regularly. Outside of accompanying Elon Musk to the Met Gala last year, the supermodel also made a cameo appearance in the billionaire's <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-snl-nbcs-portrayal-of-billionaire-uncritical-2021-5">Saturday Night Live performance</a> in 2021. Maye Musk has fully taken on the role of grandmother to Elon Musk's many children. In 2020, she <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/grimes-elon-musk-baby-x-ae-a-12-photos-videos-2020-5">posted</a> several photos and videos of the billionaire's seventh child, X Æ A-12."We do a lot of get-togethers," she told Insider in 2015. "And I'm really fortunate to have three wonderful kids. We're in a good position now, that we can actually eat roast beef every day if we wanted to. But we wouldn't dare!"Earlier reporting by Lisa Eadicicco.

"If you are due to fly with Flybe today or in the future, please DO NOT TRAVEL TO THE AIRPORT unless you have arranged an alternative flight with another airline."The notice said the airline wouldn't be able to assist passengers who were flying with Flybe directly in finding alternative flights.However, passengers with a Flybe booking sold by an intermediary were urged to get in touch directly with the relevant airline for assistance with making alternative arrangements. In its notice, the airline announced that joint administrators had been appointed.<a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64436500" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BBC News reported</a> that a passenger received an email from Flybe at 03:07 local time saying his flight had been canceled.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Another Evergrande-like crisis is brewing in the Chinese property sector.</li><li>Country Garden is the latest developer to suspend its bond trading amid a wider liquidity crisis.</li></ul>China's property sector has been dealt with another blow as shares in one of its largest developers hit an all-time low Monday morning, after it suspended trading in almost a dozen local bonds. Country Garden Holdings – once China's largest developer by sales – announced in a weekend release that it would be suspending trading in ten of its yuan-denominated bonds <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/country-garden-china-real-estate-problems-explainer-evergrande-2023-8">after missing two coupon payments worth a combined $22.5 million last week</a>. The move adds to speculation that the firm will begin restructuring its debt with the help of financial advisers.Shares in the troubled builder fell 18% on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in Monday's trading, as the 30-day grace period on its two unpaid coupons draws ever-closer. It closed at $0.80 HKD, down from $0.98 at opening bell. News of Country Garden's trading suspension fuelled a sell-off in the wider property index, raising concerns that the sector's multi-year liquidity crisis is about to proliferate. As the firm edges towards a potential default, the chances of restructuring increase, with investment bank CICC International Capital Corp. exploring options to extend the lifespan of its Panda bonds, which are closest to their maturity dates, according to <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-08-14/country-garden-what-the-china-developer-s-restructuring-would-look-like" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bloomberg</a>. Last Monday, ratings agency Moody's downgraded the developer to B1, its negative outlook reflected in "uncertainties surrounding the company's ability to stabilize its declining contracted sales and recover its funding access," the report said. On August 10, they cut the rating further – down to Caa1. Country Garden held about $200 billion of liabilities at the end of 2022, which equates to $194 billion now. It also controls over 3,000 housing projects and employs about 70,000 people at the end of last year.It is one of the few remaining private developers still standing after a years-long downturn in the country's property sector. Last month, <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/chinas-worsening-property-woes-reflected-in-shimaos-steep-losses-2023-7?_gl=1*r10kyf*_ga*MzE2MjY1NjEwLjE2ODgxMTM0MjM.*_ga_E21CV80ZCZ*MTY5MTQ4OTM4Ni4xNjMuMS4xNjkxNDg5ODYyLjQ3LjAuMA..&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Shimao Group defaulted </a>announced two-year losses of $6.8 billion resulting from its 2021 default.Meanwhile, Evergrande, now China's most indebted developer, <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/china-property-crisis-evergrande-81-billion-loss-housing-economic-slowdown-2023-7?utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">reported a whopping $81 billion two-year loss in July</a> – a figure almost triple the GDP of Iceland. The firm's collapse back in 2021 reverberated through global markets when it failed to repay its $300 billion debt pile – and in the two years that followed, this has had dire consequences for the nation's property market. Despite the Chinese government's pledge to support the ailing property sector, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-economy-stimulus-measures-but-property-tech-consumption-not-enough-2023-7">no concrete intervention has yet been announced</a>, and any rescue efforts could arrive too late for Country Garden. China's property sector is enormous – accounting for about around <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/china-real-estate-property-market-speculation-debt-crackdown-xi-jinping-2023-8">30% of the country's overall economy</a>. Its headwinds include heavy debt burdens, sluggish demand for new property, and potential homebuyers prioritizing saving instead.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Many business partners dropped Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, following his antisemitic rants. </li><li>The rapper and designer is one of the many celebrities who have become the public image of a brand.</li></ul>For brands, the power of a high-wattage endorsement is undeniable. But so is the pain of the celebrity breakup.<a href="https://www.adidas-group.com/en/media/news-archive/press-releases/2022/adidas-terminates-partnership-ye-immediately/">Adidas</a> is the latest to feel the hurt. The apparel company's <a href="https://www.adidas-group.com/en/media/news-archive/press-releases/2022/adidas-terminates-partnership-ye-immediately/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">decision to end its partnership</a> with designer Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, shows the perils companies can face when they hand over the keys to impossible-to-control celebs.The woulda, coulda, shoulda for Adidas will cost a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/adidas-kanye-west-end-partnership-antisemitism-twitter-2022-10?amp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">projected $246 million</a> in lost sales. The company on Tuesday followed other brands in dumping Ye after his antisemitic rhetoric: The rapper <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kanye-west-dumped-by-talent-agency-caa-finished-documentary-shelved-2022-10?amp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">posted on Twitter</a> a message that read, "going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE," before his account was locked. In the wake of West's comments, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kanye-west-dumped-by-talent-agency-caa-finished-documentary-shelved-2022-10?amp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">antisemites displayed signs over a Los Angeles freeway</a> reading "Kanye is right about the Jews." And earlier this month Ye <a href="https://www.insider.com/kanye-west-sports-white-lives-matter-shirt-2022-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">stirred controversy</a> when he wore a shirt stating, "White Lives Matter."Brand partnerships are designed to attract fans of the celebrity to a company and vice versa, Kyle Monson, a founding partner of the PR company Codeword Agency, said. These types of partnerships, specifically in the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/new-influencer-marketing-data-tiktok-overtake-youtube-in-ad-spend-2022-8">influencer-marketing industry</a>, are growing, but they pose a risk to businesses, he added. In some cases — such as in Ye's partnership with Adidas — the payoff of a relationship might not exceed the eventual cost."We're talking about athletes, actors, comedians, artists, folks that tend to be a little more volatile than normal human beings and are facing new levels of scrutiny for their behavior," Monson said. "A brand can spend hundreds of millions of marketing dollars building its brand and then see it all undone with a bad celebrity partnership." The scrapped Adidas deal <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kanye-west-companies-cutting-ties-adidas-gap-balenciaga-vogue-tweet-2022-10">wasn't the first high-profile split</a> for Ye. The talent agency CAA, the fashion house Balenciaga, and the couture bible Vogue all cut ties with the designer over the past month.Gap said in September that Ye and the retailer would end what was to be a 10-year collaboration, but <a href="https://www.gapinc.com/en-us/articles/2022/10/statement-on-yeezy-partnership">this week Gap executives said</a> the brand would remove Yeezy Gap merchandise from shelves and shut down the YeezyGap.com website. When it announced the deal in 2020, Gap <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/15/business/kanye-west-yeezy-gap.html">said the partnership might generate</a> more than $1 billion in annual sales. <h2>Sometimes taking the gamble is what a company needs </h2>Every partnership between a celebrity or influencer and a brand is different, Monson said. And sometimes to see big rewards, companies have to take risks.For example, Ye was always a "wild card," but when Adidas began working with him, it was a deal that paid off – with the Yeezy brand drawing in an estimated $1 billion to $2 billion in annual sales, <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Business/cost-adidas-cutting-ties-kanye-west/story?id=92065799#:~:text=The%20Yeezy%20line%20accounts%20for,Evercore%20ISI%20analyst%20Omar%20Saad.">ABC News reported</a>. "The world was treating Ye a lot differently when the Yeezy deal was signed," said Monson. "He was one of the biggest, if not the most respected hip-hop artist at the time, a polymath, a producer, a rapper, a fashion designer. He was doing everything and was he a safe choice? No. But he brought some of the allure and some of the danger with him that he infused into the Yeezy brand." When brands find celebrities that share their values, it can lead to greater exposure and business success, Martha Sullivan, the president of Provenance Hill Consulting and a consultant for The Family Business Consulting Group, told Insider. "By working with a celebrity or a high-profile influencer, you're going be able to tap into their channel, their audience, their following, and the vibe that they have," Sullivan said. "And so that gives you the opportunity for the growth of your client or customer base." <h2>But it takes time to cut ties even with a strong contract</h2>If a business is entering into a relationship with a celebrity or influencer, they need to ensure they have strong legal counsel and a thorough contract, Sullivan said. If the celebrity starts making public comments that are "inconsistent with the brand," a strong contract will have provisions that allow for the termination of the deal, she added. But, Monson said, even with the best contract, when a relationship is associated with a product and accounts for a huge portion of a company's business — the way Yeezy does for Adidas — cutting ties is not easy. When Ye's former sister-in-law Kendall Jenner was embroiled in controversy over a video advertisement for Pepsi, it was simple for the beverage brand to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/pepsi-pulls-kendall-jenner-ad-2017-4">pull the ad</a>, Monson said. "When it's a product line, that's hard because now you've got factories, you've got contracts, you've got retail outlets," he said. "Companies have the challenge of balancing their commitment to doing the right thing against making decisions that could potentially affect their bottom line," Angela J. Reddock-Wright, an employment and labor-law attorney and expert in diversity, equity, and inclusion issues, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/brands-distancing-from-dave-chappelle-and-jk-rowling-transphobic-remarks-2022-7?amp">previously told Insider</a>.

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Reuters</div></div></div><a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/tsla-stock">Tesla</a> shares are sliding Wednesday, down 1.21%, after the electric-car maker was downgraded by Moody's. The rating agency <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-gets-downgraded-at-moodys-2018-3">lowered Tesla's corporate rating one notch</a> to B3, citing a "significant shortfall" in Model 3 production, Reuters says. It also slashed the car maker's junk bond rating to Caa1, just one notch above default.The downgrade comes as Tesla has been grappling with "production hell" for its Model 3 vehicle. The company initially promised the production of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/teslas-model-3-launch-deliveries-begin-photos-features-2017-7">20,000 Model 3 vehicles per month by December 2017</a>, but only delivered 1,550 in the entire fourth quarter of 2017. Tesla now says it will <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-delays-model-3-production-target-again-2018-1">build 2,500 Model 3 vehicles per week</a> by the end of the first quarter, and hit 5,000 per week by the end of the second quarter.And the bad news may not be over yet for Tesla shares."We believe the market may be underpricing the potential significance of the Model 3 production release, which we expect in early April," Shawn Quigg, an equity derivatives strategist at JPMorgan, said in a recent note to clients. "We see greater reward-risk in positioning for a downside move."Shares of the electric-car maker have been hit hard in recent weeks, sliding 22.45% from their February 27 high. They are down 10.33% so far this year. <div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/tsla-stock">Markets Insider</a></div></div></div>Get the latest Tesla stock price<a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/TSLA-Quote"> here.</a> <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/meaning-of-fake-news-and-make-america-great-again-steven-pinker-2018-3">Harvard professor Steven Pinker explains the disturbing truth behind Trump's 2 favorite phrases</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>

Social Capital <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-16/another-social-capital-partner-departs-venture-capital-firm">announced the departure of Arjun Sethi</a> just last week.It's not immediately clear under what conditions the partners left. But the young firm with over $2 billion under management says it will shift focus away from new growth opportunities and instead "<a href="https://medium.com/@chamath/appetite-for-change-f00abc8514c0">down on proven winners from our venture funds</a>."Social Capital has been bleeding top partners for a year now. Cofounder Mamoon Hamid left suddenly last August to join Kleiner Perkins Caufield &amp; Byers. The firm's third cofounder Ted Maidenberg appears to be tapping out, as well. He remains at Social Capital as a board partner but did not invest in the latest fund, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-16/another-social-capital-partner-departs-venture-capital-firm">Bloomberg</a> reported.In a Medium post titled, "Appetite for Change," Palihapitiya, the firm's CEO and formerly an early Facebook executive, describes lessons learned tech investing.Palihapitiya brought on Bates and Mezvinsky, in part, to help raise and lead a large growth fund that would invest both in existing and promising new Social Capital portfolio companies. The firm also explored starting a "<a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/wealth/invest/credit-funds-can-help-generate-higher-returns/articleshow/51986801.cms">credit fund</a>," which invests in relatively risky corporate bonds to help generate higher returns to use for investing. And it has been a big proponent of blank-check, special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs. It <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/chamath-palihapitiya-raises-600-million-ipo-social-capital-hedosophia-holdings">raised $600 million in a 2017 IPO</a> for a SPAC firm named Hedosophia with the intent of using that cash to buy well-performing private tech companies. "Friends and mentors told me blindly scaling our asset base would distract me. Focus on technology, they said, and stick to what makes you unique vs [sic] what makes you the same," Palihapitiya said. "I initially thought they were wrong."The legendary investor, who made early bets on companies such as Box, Slack, and SurveyMonkey, has changed his mind - or his "appetite.""I have realized that excellence doesn't necessarily come from the novelty of a constant stream of new things, but rather focus and refined repetition of the things that are at the very core of our organization," Palihapitiya said.Social Capital is already experimenting with a new tool that <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-05-01/white-male-vcs-tend-to-fund-white-male-entrepreneurs-could-robots-do-better">uses an algorithm to invest in startups</a>. Companies apply through a glorified Google Form and let the AI decide whether or not they're worth backing. It's called CaaS (capital as a service), and the firm plans to use it to make 1,000 investments in 2018 and 10,000 next year.The company did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.<h2>Here's the <a href="https://medium.com/@chamath/appetite-for-change-f00abc8514c0">Medium</a> post in full:</h2>Since our founding, we've never stopped searching for better and better ways to help entrepreneurs win. To do this, we've consistently challenged ourselves to explore what the future might look like. By definition, the future may be radically different from the present way of doing things in Silicon Valley. <a href="https://medium.com/@chamath/if-youre-a-student-of-technology-companies-you-ve-heard-this-adage-many-times-133e99f0122" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-href="https://medium.com/@chamath/if-youre-a-student-of-technology-companies-you-ve-heard-this-adage-many-times-133e99f0122">In my post from a week ago</a>, I talked about the product bets we've placed that have started to deliver powerful results that we're now doubling down on - including tools like CaaS to help us find great companies as well as software and services like 8-ball to make them even better.In parallel to investing in product and engineering talent to build out the Social Capital Platform, I also kicked off a process to test if a traditional approach to scaling our asset base should be part of this solution. It seemed like a reasonable path in the era of Softbank's Vision Fund and Sequoia's rumored mega-fund. To execute this, I brought on two leaders: Marc Mezvinsky as Vice Chairman to lead our capital formation efforts, and Tony Bates as CEO of Social Capital Growth. We also explored what a Credit fund that could provide an entrepreneur with less dilutive forms of capital would look like.We felt emboldened to try all of this because of our track record in venture capital. Our venture capital funds are at the top of their class and there is little doubt that some of the startups we have backed will redefine this current generation of tech companies. If there was any time to pursue these new strategies, it was, in my opinion, now.Friends and mentors told me blindly scaling our asset base would distract me. Focus on technology, they said, and stick to what makes you unique vs what makes you the same.I initially thought they were wrong. And so we embarked on trying to do both: build great products and scale assets across multiple new funds, all at the same time. It's this last factor that is hard. Ironically, we tell our entrepreneurs all the time to do one thing really well, but found ourselves not following our own advice.As I internalized this and we got closer to closing some of these new strategies, my gut was telling me to go back to our core. It took some time, but we decided not to pursue the Credit effort, and also to refine our Growth strategy to largely focus on later stage investments in some of our best portfolio companies rather than generically compete in increasingly excessive growth-stage auctions.Refining our Growth strategy to what will be our second Opportunities fund means there is little point in having a separate Growth leadership team, because doubling down on proven winners from our venture funds is best carried out by our venture partners, since they know these remarkable companies and their founders better than anyone. As such, with this shift, the scope and roles for Marc and Tony became very limited compared to what they and I had originally thought, and we collectively came to the conclusion that it makes sense for them to transition to new challenges and opportunities outside of Social Capital, although we're exploring ways they can still be involved in our future success as Board Partners or advisers.It is tough to part ways with great colleagues like Marc and Tony. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them, and know they'll go on to do great things - they are A+ and I'm sure we will work together again in the future.For the foreseeable future, we will stick to what we are truly passionate about: high-touch venture investments and building out our Platform that provides these entrepreneurs with tools and software to build better companies.The good news is that what we are passionate about is also what we are best at. Our data-driven tools and platform technologies are gaining increasing traction, with <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-05-01/white-male-vcs-tend-to-fund-white-male-entrepreneurs-could-robots-do-better" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noopener" data-href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-05-01/white-male-vcs-tend-to-fund-white-male-entrepreneurs-could-robots-do-better">CaaS especially promising</a>. Our way of <a href="https://medium.com/swlh/diligence-at-social-capital-epilogue-introducing-the-8-ball-and-gaap-for-startups-7ab215c378bc" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-href="https://medium.com/swlh/diligence-at-social-capital-epilogue-introducing-the-8-ball-and-gaap-for-startups-7ab215c378bc">looking at businesses</a> is quickly become industry standard. It's time to double down on all of these things. Said differently, I have realized that excellence doesn't necessarily come from the novelty of a constant stream of new things, but rather focus and refined repetition of the things that are at the very core of our organization.One of our core values at Social Capital is having an "appetite for change". We are continually challenging ourselves to make difficult decisions in ambiguity, and to have the courage to change our minds and course correct, with the knowledge that the path to achieving our mission is non-linear. Oftentimes we get these decisions right. But sometimes we get them wrong. And in these moments, it is really important to shine a light on them so we can learn for the future. I am grateful to the Social Capital team and our LPs for navigating this shift with their customary support, focus and determination.I also want to personally thank Marc and Tony for their contributions. And I hope you continue to follow our journey in complementing the traditional high touch venture investing model (which we remain committed to and passionate about) with increasing levels of automated tools and software to empower entrepreneurs to achieve their goals.Onwards. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/john-carreyrou-how-theranos-deceived-silicon-valley-startup-bad-blood-sample-technology-2018-5">How a $9 billion startup deceived Silicon Valley</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>

Dear Readers,I'm back on the newsletter this week - thanks to my deputy Meredith for subbing in! We're hot on the trail of WeWork, the high-flying, but money-losing, $47 billion coworking company expected to IPO this fall. It's known for its well-designed office space, which it leases itself and then rents out to customers like startups and, increasingly, big corporate clients.As WeWork prepares to go public, there's increasing scrutiny on it that can <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/wework-not-close-to-profitable-loses-hundreds-thousands-every-hour-2019-7">be boiled down to three major concerns</a>: the stability of its model (pairing long-term office leases with short-term occupants and what that might look like during a downturn), its categorization (is it a tech or real-estate company?), <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-wework-ceo-adam-neumann-spends-his-money-real-estate-2019-7">and the wild card that is its CEO, Adam Neumann</a>.This week, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/weworks-top-landlords-real-estate-private-equity-2019-7">we did a deep dive on the company's top landlords</a>, which until now have largely avoided media scrutiny. We also <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mexico-real-estate-company-fibra-uno-is-weworks-biggest-landlord-2019-7">spotlighted a little-known Mexican real-estate investment trust</a>, which is WeWork's biggest landlord and highlights how quickly the company has grown overseas. <a href="http://newsletter.businessinsider.com/join/4np/wall-st-insider&amp;hash=f4e91136c13f3c40c496d77bc7347502">If you aren't yet a subscriber to Wall Street Insider, you can sign up here.</a>While coworking is seen as primed for explosive growth, large real-estate companies will have to decide how much they want to work with young flex-space firms that haven't been tested through a downturn. If the economy were to turn, it would mean that some of its tenants may choose not to renew their leases (or negotiate lower rent), while WeWork would still owe payments to its own landlords. WeWork's financials, in particular, are also giving some prospective IPO investors pause. The company is hemorrhaging money: $219,000 every hour of every day during the 12 months leading up to March, according to the <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/0e426c90-8c45-11e9-a1c1-51bf8f989972">Financial Times</a>. As the company moves toward an IPO, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/wework-not-close-to-profitable-loses-hundreds-thousands-every-hour-2019-7">it will need to convince investors</a> that its significant growth makes it a worthwhile long-term investment despite equally large losses.<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/heres-the-latest-wework-news-2019-6">You can check out a roundup of our latest WeWork reporting here</a>.
