More layoffs at Microsoft. The company plans to cut around 9,000 workers or just under 4% of its global workforce. The cuts will span geographies, tenure, and teams, including Microsoft's gaming segment, and they come just months after the company eliminated some 6,000 roles across its product and software development teams. Tesla's global vehicle sales fell 13.5% in the second quarter compared with a year ago, missing analysts expectations. The electric vehicle maker has struggled to reverse months of declining sales, which analysts have in part attributed to consumer backlash against the brand and its CEO Elon Musk. And finally, Alibaba says it'll boost its delivery and shopping platforms by distributing coupons and vouchers worth 50 billion yen or just under $7 billion over the next 12 months.

Alibaba also today announced plans to launch new data centers in Malaysia and the Philippines, advancing its push in artificial intelligence.
