Description:
Website-building platform Squarespace announced it will go private in a $6.9 billion all-cash deal with private equity firm Permira. Permira will pay $44 per share, a 30% premium over Squarespace's unaffected stock price. Squarespace struggled as a public company, opening below its reference price and never trading above its IPO price. Major shareholders approved the deal and will remain investors after the acquisition. The deal marks a trend of smaller tech companies going private after difficulties in the public markets.

The abrupt cuts have created uncertainty about its expansion plans. Tesla's CEO Elon Musk said the company will still invest $500 million in Superchargers this year, but expand faster than before. The cuts come as Tesla faces more competition from other automakers expanding their EV options and charging networks.")
