According to a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report, Meta employees have begun testing an in-development prediction market application tentatively named "Takes". This follows Meta’s standard internal testing process before official public product launches. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that users can predict and wager on the outcomes of various questions or events using a virtual token called "cred" (short for credibility). Unlike prediction market platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket, Takes does not currently support real-money betting. The internal test signals that Meta is exploring a prediction market product, though the company has not yet disclosed whether or when the application will be made available to the public.

SpaceX's heavy-lift launch vehicle Starship completed its 15th test flight on the afternoon of the 13th (Central Time). The mission marked the first attempt to have both the booster and spacecraft return to the launch site, with the launch tower's robotic arm set to perform a "capture" recovery, but the booster failed to return as planned. Starship lifted off from its southern Texas launch site at around 16:48 Central Time (06:48 Beijing Time on the 14th). The rocket's first and second stages separated shortly after liftoff. The Super Heavy booster failed to return to the launch site as planned and splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico in a controlled manner. SpaceX closed 0.59% lower on Friday, fell 2.05% in after-hours trading, and its dark pool was down 0.93% at $136.52.

According to Air Current, the nationwide U.S. ground stop order is set to be lifted. After the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a nationwide ground stop order to all airports Friday morning due to a special situation, S&P 500-tracking ETFs temporarily fell 0.5% in after-hours trading, while Nasdaq 100-tracking ETFs dropped 0.8% at one point. Airlines were also weighed down by the news: United Airlines declined 1.2%, JetBlue Airways fell 2.4%, and American Airlines dropped 1.7%. Conversely, cybersecurity stocks advanced: Palo Alto Networks gained 2%, Zscaler rose 1%, and CrowdStrike increased 2%. The ground stop is tied to a communications frequency failure in the air traffic control (ATC) system. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy previously said all en route air traffic control centers were affected by the communication issues, and technicians are probing the root cause of the fault. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has concluded that the ATC communication outage was not caused by a cyberattack or criminal act. Investigators are currently checking whether the fault is linked to a software update.

On social media, a petition website calling on NVIDIA’s board to reinstate Jensen Huang saw a traffic surge that temporarily caused server overload. Replit CEO Amjad Masad publicly stated he contacted the page’s owner to help raise rate limits, and the site has since returned to normal operation. As of now, 11,098 people have signed the petition demanding Huang’s return, including 1,652 current employees, 172 former employees, and 6,544 supporters. On November 12, 2026, NVIDIA announced Jensen Huang’s resignation as chief executive officer, effective immediately, marking the end of his 33-year tenure leading the company he co-founded. The petition’s organizers and signatories fear Huang was forced out without due process or sufficient time to defend himself, and are demanding an explanation from the board. The open letter’s core demands to NVIDIA’s board are: 1. Reinstate Huang as CEO while an independent investigation clarifies the facts; if he is to remain away from the role, provide an evidence-backed explanation. 2. Ensure the investigation is independent, define its scope and timeline, and grant Huang a fair opportunity to defend himself. 3. Issue a timely public statement addressing relevant concerns, evidence, and the balance of interests for employees and shareholders. The letter stresses: “Three decades of leadership do not mean immunity from accountability, but accountability requires evidence and due process, not a public trial by the masses.” The website states the campaign is independent and has not been endorsed by NVIDIA or Huang personally. Earlier, Elon Musk posted that the petition to reinstate NVIDIA (NVDA.O)’s Jensen Huang is ongoing, and he will sign it in support.
