Connecting the Dots - 5-6-2025

This show covers DoorDash's agreement to acquire SevenRooms, a hospitality technology company, for $1.2 billion in cash, alongside a larger acquisition of Deliveroo, aiming to expand DoorDash's global reach and restaurant service offerings. The second topic concerns the U.S. Department of Justice's ongoing antitrust case against Google, specifically the DOJ's proposal to potentially require Google to sell parts of its advertising business after the court ruled against Google on some points. Finally, the sources discuss the White House's stance on potential tariffs on foreign films, noting that no final decisions have been made despite President Trump's earlier comments about exploring options to boost domestic filmmaking.
