News that Zuckerberg was considering a move out of Delaware landed a little over a week after Trump's inauguration, which the Meta CEO attended along with other tech leaders.
Mark Zuckerberg arrives before the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States takes place inside the Capitol Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C., Monday, Jan. 20, 2025.
Tencent said during an earnings call that it has deployed AI internally but is "prepared for breakout growth in consumer AI interactions" with products such as Yuanbao and WeChat.
Revenue from search in Weixin, the name of WeChat for China-based users, more than doubled year-on-year in the December quarter, Tencent said.
The Shenzhen-headquartered firm's AI push is emblematic of the current state of competition among China's tech giants, which has been spurred on by startup DeepSeek and its highly efficient artificial intelligence model that was released earlier this year.
AI updates have been released thick and fast from companies including Alibaba and Baidu.
"We believe these stepped-up investments will generate ongoing returns via uplifting productivity in our advertising business and longevity of our games, as well as longer term value from accelerated consumer usage of our AI applications and enterprise adoption of our AI services."
Investors are still watching out for how Tencent plans to monetize its AI investments, particularly on its consumer-facing products, like WeChat.
On that front Tencent is working with its own AI models, as well as with those of its rivals. The company has its in-house AI chatbot called Yuanbao, which is based on its own Hunyuan foundational model as well as DeepSeek's R1. Tencent has also sought to integrate DeepSeek's technology across some of its other products, including WeChat's search features in China.
Tencent's AI focus has come with increased spending, with the company's capital expenditure of 2024 totaling 76.8 billion yuan — more than tripling from 23.89 billion in 2023. Tencent said some of this spending went toward servers and graphics processing units.
Tencent said it has re-organized teams and that the increased investments will boost growth.
"Starting a few months ago, we have reorganised our AI teams to sharpen focus on both fast product innovation and deep model research, increased our AI-related capital expenditures, and increased our R&D and marketing efforts for our AI-native products," Tencent said in its earnings statement.
However, Tencent said that increasing use of graphics processing units for internal uses has "limited" the amount of the chips that are available for external clients and therefore has held back cloud services revenue growth too.
GPUs are key semiconductors required for the training and use of AI applications.
Tencent said that, starting from the fourth quarter, it has "stepped up" purchases of GPUs and it expects "accelerated revenue" for cloud services as a result.
Tencent said its marketing services business growth has been driven by "robust" advertiser demand as well as "ongoing enhancement of our AI-powered advertising infrastructure." Tencent's AI models allow it to serve uses with "more relevant ad recommendations," the company said.
Meanwhile, AI cloud revenue approximately doubled year-on-year in 2024, Tencent said, though it declined to give a specific sales number.
Tencent's cloud computing business is housed under its fintech and business service division, which posted 3% year-on-year growth in the fourth quarter to 56.1 billion yuan.
While Tencent is one of the world's biggest gaming companies, the tech giant has also placed a large focus on becoming a key artificial intelligence player in China over the last two years, putting out various AI models.
On Tuesday, the company launched its Hunyuan3D-2.0 model which can turn text or images into 3D graphics. In February, Tencent had unveiled Turbo S, an AI model designed to answer user queries as quickly as possible.
Tencent said that AI is driving improvements across various products inside the company.
On Feb. 2, Myles from the governor's communications office shared a memo with legislators and attorneys who had attended the weekend meetings. It included a list of talking points in defense of SB 21.
The memo, obtained by CNBC, said Delaware prides itself on serving as "home to the world's leading companies," having the "best law and jurisprudence" for businesses, and remains the "premier destination in America for business formation."
"Whenever an entity — regardless of size — exits Delaware for one of our sister jurisdictions, our goal is to earn their business back," the memo said. "In many cases, companies that reincorporate out of Delaware return to Delaware."
SB 21 was introduced to Delaware's General Assembly on Feb. 17, by Senate Majority Leader Bryan Townsend, who had attended the first of the two meetings held by Meyer. The process of drafting the bill didn't follow Delaware's traditional practice of changing corporate law, which typically involves writing and review by the state's bar association, and a committee within it called the Corporation Law Council.
Reforms outlined in SB 21 have been supported by corporate defense firms and attorneys, including those who helped draft the bill. They've been vociferously opposed by shareholders' attorneys and investment groups, including CalPERS and ICGN, who say they want to ensure that controlling shareholders don't make self-interested deals or decisions that go against the wishes and rights of the broader investor base.
Zuckerberg, who had a notably rocky relationship with Trump during the president's first term, has been publicly currying favor this go-round. He's taken measures like ending Meta's diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, programs, getting rid of third-party fact-checkers in favor of a "Community Notes" model used by Musk's X platform, and adding Dana White, CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and a longtime friend of Trump, to his company's board weeks before the new administration began.
Meta also agreed in January to pay $25 million to settle a 4-year-old lawsuit over the company's decision to suspend Trump's accounts after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Cozying up to Trump
Musk drew national attention to Delaware's corporate law in 2024 after a judge there ruled that his $56 billion Tesla pay package from 2018 was illegally granted and should be rescinded. He wrote on X, "Never incorporate your company in the state of Delaware," and subsequently moved Tesla to Texas while accusing the judge behind the ruling of "absolute corruption."
Musk also became a top donor to Donald Trump's presidential campaign, and is now a lead advisor to his White House, running the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.
If SB 21 passes, any claims filed after Feb. 17, the day the bill was brought to the assembly, would be considered under the new law. That means shareholders wouldn't have the benefit of the current law, and investor protections that come with it, when their new claims are considered in Delaware court.
A Meta spokesperson declined to comment.
Mila Myles, a spokeswoman for Meyer, said in a statement that the governor has spent his first few weeks on the job meeting with "plaintiffs attorneys, Delaware corporate attorneys and countless Delaware incorporated companies," adding that he is not "doing the bidding of any billionaire."
The invite also went to James Honaker, an attorney with Morris Nichols, a firm that's represented Meta in federal court in Delaware, and to William Chandler, former chancellor of the Delaware Court of Chancery, who is now part of Wilson Sonsini's Delaware litigation practice.
Roughly two weeks later, Delaware lawmakers were being asked to vote on a bill, known as SB 21, that, if enacted, would overhaul the state's corporate law in a manner that could favor Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and other controlling shareholders of large companies.
Among other things, SB 21 would alter how companies can use independent directors to ensure the deals they've made will not be subject to court scrutiny, and would limit the records that shareholders can obtain from companies when investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty.
