The drop has wiped out over $120 billion in market capitalization, dragging Alphabet's valuation below the critical $2 trillion threshold.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why The Selloff? </h3>
The sharp decline follows the U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ) announcement of sweeping remedies in its high-profile antitrust lawsuit against Google. 
On Wednesday, the DOJ proposed measures aimed at curbing Google's dominance in search and digital advertising, potentially reshaping <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42105079/googles-unlawful-behavior-stifles-market-entry-for-rivals-doj-says-alphabet-must-sell-chrome-to-end-search-monopoly">Alphabet&#8217;s core business operations.</a>
The most aggressive recommendation is a requirement for Alphabet to divest Google Chrome, the internet's leading browser with over 60% market share globally. 
Regulators view Chrome as a cornerstone of Alphabet's ability to consolidate its dominance in both search and ad tech markets. This divestiture would mark an unprecedented government intervention into one of the tech giant&#8217;s most integrated and profitable ecosystems.
Other proposals include forcing Google to share search data with competitors, thus leveling the playing field for rival search engines, and to end default search agreements, which make Google the automatic search engine on devices and web browsers like Apple's Safari.
"Google's unlawful behavior has deprived rivals not only of critical distribution channels but also distribution partners who could otherwise enable entry into these markets by competitors in new and innovative ways," the DOJ&nbsp;said in a statement.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s At Stake? </h3>
Alphabet&#8217;s business model relies heavily on the synergies between its services. In the third quarter of 2024, Alphabet&#8217;s &#8220;Search &amp; Other&#8221; segment generated $49.4 billion, accounting for 56% of the company's total revenue for the quarter.
For the full fiscal year 2023, Alphabet reported $307.4 billion in total revenue. The revenue breakdown highlights the scale of Alphabet&#8217;s reliance on search and ad-driven income:
<ul>
<li>Google Search &amp; Other: $175.0 billion</li>
<li>YouTube Ads: $31.5 billion</li>
<li>Google Network: $31.3 billion</li>
<li>Google Cloud: $33.1 billion</li>
<li>Other Revenues: $34.7 billion</li>
<li>Other Bets: $1.5 billion</li>
</ul>
These numbers underline the DOJ's focus on Alphabet's most lucrative business segments. A forced breakup of Chrome, combined with mandated data-sharing and restrictions on default agreements may threaten to erode Alphabet&#8217;s competitive edge and profitability.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Expert Take: Google's Strategic Challenges</h3>
Ahead of the DOJ announcement, RBC Capital Markets shared insights from a conversation with Brian O&#8217;Kelley, CEO &amp; co-founder of Scope3 and a seasoned expert in ad tech. O&#8217;Kelley raised critical points about Alphabet&#8217;s future in light of the antitrust case:
<ol>
<li>Open Internet vs. AI: O&#8217;Kelley sees the value of open internet a declining asset since consumers shift toward AI-powered experiences. According to him, &#8220;the DOJ is litigating against the last decade, as opposed to current day looking forward.&#8221;</li>
<li>Chrome's Role: He indicates that Google&#8217;s network business &#8220;isn&#8217;t depending on owning the legacy ad tech assets.&#8221; Even without Chrome, users will continue going to Google.com for search, suggesting that Chrome&#8217;s value may be less critical than it seems.</li>
<li>Regulatory Differences: O&#8217;Kelley highlights stark contrasts in regulatory approaches between Europe and the U.S. While Europe is moving swiftly to ban cookies and enforce stricter privacy rules, U.S. regulation may take longer to materialize, giving Alphabet more time to adapt.</li>

More Crypto Online <a href="https://x.com/Morecryptoonl/status/1859255908011798821">points</a> out that Dogecoin&#8217;s support lies between $0.25 and $0.34, and after a 3.7% dip over the last week, the correction is almost complete. 
However, the trader anticipates a potential continuation before a breakout above $0.445, which could propel prices to $0.60.
Trader Koala <a href="https://x.com/trader_koala/status/1859382420933579078">takes</a> a cautious yet optimistic stance, calling Dogecoin's chart the "best-looking" and suggesting any pullbacks should be viewed as buying opportunities.

In 2017, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42029882/elon-musk-acknowledges-x-users-call-for-larger-tesla-models-for-bigger-families">Elon Musk</a> promised earthbound rocket flights that could take people long distances in less than half an hour. In 2024, Musk says we're closer than ever to achieving that reality.&nbsp;
A physics engineer posted on X during the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42023971/after-the-election-americans-are-exploring-life-abroad-but-what-are-the-financial-costs">U.S. presidential election</a>: "Under Trump&#8217;s FAA, @SpaceX could even get Starship Earth to Earth approved in a few years – Taking people from any city to any other city on Earth in under one hour." 
Elon Musk responded to the post with, "This is now possible."

</ul>
Musk envisions a future where intercontinental travel happens at speeds of up to 16,700 miles per hour using SpaceX&#8217;s Starship rockets. These rockets, originally designed for missions to the Moon and Mars, could allow a flight from New York City to Shanghai to take just 39 minutes. Flights from New York to London could be even shorter, taking only 30 minutes, according to Musk.&nbsp;
While a rocket flight worldwide might be thrilling, it will be more intense than the average plane ride. Passengers would experience intense G-forces during takeoff and landing and need to stay strapped for the low-gravity journey. This also means there wouldn't be any accommodations like snacks or bathroom breaks.&nbsp;
One of the biggest questions people have now is: what will it cost?&nbsp;
Musk has previously claimed that these flights could one day be as affordable as an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/04/38518915/you-dont-need-to-be-rich-to-fly-business-class-5-secret-hacks-only-frequent-fliers-know">economy plane ticket</a>. However, experts are skeptical. The current going rate for a 90-minute visit to space – from companies like Virgin Galactic – is just short of half a billion dollars per person.&nbsp;

A 2019 UBS report estimated that the high-speed, point-to-point space travel market could grow to $20 billion annually by 2030, especially as the technology improves. While Musk is optimistic about achieving point-to-point travel within the next few years, he hasn't said much about the price in the beginning.&nbsp;
Launching rockets to replace long-haul flights raises safety and logistical challenges. Rockets are subject to stricter regulations than airplanes and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) would need to approve these trips. Musk's suggestion that this approval could come quickly has sparked debate, especially since the technology is still being tested.
Even with challenges, experts believe the demand exists. More than 150 million passengers take flights longer than 10 hours each year. UBS estimated that the market could reach billions of dollars annually if just 5% of those flights switched to rockets at $2,500 per trip.

Sam Dinkin, author and former CEO of SpaceShot, told CNBC in 2019 that he was not optimistic about an affordable consumer market for point-to-point travel. "I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;ll be here in 10 years," Dinkin said. "The market would be there at that price, but I don&#8217;t think the cost will be there."
While skeptics have doubts that the technology will be ready for regular use within the next few years, others see Musk's vision as a game-changer. This innovation could disrupt the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/24/11/42014787/delta-united-alaska-air-are-top-analyst-picks-in-airline-sector">airline industry</a>, making space the next frontier for global travel.
For now, Musk's promise of a 40-minute trip from New York to Shanghai remains an exciting glimpse into the future. But whether these flights will ever be accessible to all – or remain a luxury for the wealthy – will depend on how quickly technology advances and costs come down.

Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MULN#NASDAQ">MULN</a>) shares are trading higher on Thursday. The company provided an update on its Fullerton, California battery facility, which is focused on manufacturing next-generation, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42112878/mullen-ramping-up-for-start-of-us-battery-productionv" rel="noreferrer noopener">American-made battery packs and modules</a>.
Mullen Automotive expects battery production at its Fullerton, California, facility to begin in mid-2025.
The company has already installed three battery lines, which include a high-volume standard battery chemistry line, a high-precision low-volume standard chemistry R&amp;D line, and a high-precision low-volume solid-state polymer R&amp;D line.
Mullen has planned two additional lines. One is a high-volume standard chemistry battery line scheduled to be added in December 2024, while the other is a fully automated, high-volume wire bonding line designed for use with multiple chemistries, which will be installed by February 2025.
This initiative supports the company&#8217;s zero-emission goals and reduces dependency on imported battery components.
CEO and Chairman David Michery emphasized Mullen&#8217;s commitment to producing batteries domestically, reinforcing its focus on sustainable, U.S.-based manufacturing.
Last week, the company announced that the Bollinger Motors 2025 Bollinger B4 truck qualified for California&#8217;s Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42054284/whats-going-on-with-mullen-automotive-stock-monday" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP)</a>.
Under HVIP, the 2025 Bollinger B4 EV truck, with a suggested MSRP of&nbsp;$158,758, now qualifies for up to a&nbsp;$60,000&nbsp;cash voucher. When added to the available&nbsp;$40,000&nbsp;federal tax credit, the net effective cost of the B4 could be less than&nbsp;$59,000.
Price Action: MULN shares are up 10.6% at $2.98 at the last check Thursday.
