Tesla earnings, the future of Spirit Airlines, WBD shareholder vote and more in Morning Squawk

Tesla’s Q1 report was mixed: earnings beat expectations but revenue missed and management warned of higher-than-expected spending, prompting shares to fall more than 3% pre-market and leaving the stock down ~14% YTD. The report and Tesla’s shift toward autonomous tech and lower-cost Model Y/Model 3 trims are weighing on sentiment for the megacap. Broader markets showed resilience: the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit records after a ceasefire extension with Iran despite Brent crude jumping back above $100/barrel, highlighting oil-driven risk to growth. Other notable items: Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders vote on a Paramount Skydance takeover (Netflix and Comcast were competing bidders), and the White House is negotiating a potential ~$500M financing package for Spirit Airlines to avert liquidation. Overall, the note underscores mixed-to-risk-off pressures from corporate-specific headwinds (Tesla, Spirit) and geopolitical-driven oil strength that could influence market breadth.
