Let's get started.
1. Today's the day: Apple is holding its first major event of the year. CEO Tim Cook is expected to introduce two iPad Pro models — as well as other updated products. Here's what you might see today (and how to watch).
2. A Tesla crash killed two people in Texas, and authorities are set to demand Tesla hand over data from the car. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Monday that data logs showed the car was not using Autopilot driver assist at the time of the crash — but a senior officer said police hadn't been given that data yet.
3. Here's how investors can use dirty term sheets to screw over founders.

4. Facebook capitalizes on social audio craze. Mark Zuckerberg unveiled several new audio-based tools, including voice recordings, podcast listening, and Clubhouse-like rooms. More from his announcement here.
5. Elon Musk said Starlink should be "fully mobile" by the end of the year.

8. NASA's Perseverance rover took video of the Ingenuity helicopter flying on Mars for the first time. The drone's first flight was "absolutely beautiful" and "flawless," according to its NASA team. Watch the footage here.
9. Read the presentation IBM is giving its nearly 350,000 employees to prepare them to return to the office. The presentation shows a cartoon employee taking her temperature before work, reserving her "hot desk," and warning of a dearth of office-provided snacks. See the full presentation.
