F— off is my very diplomatic reply to you @elonmusk,” Ukrainian diplomat Andriy Melnyk tweeted.

“You cant satisfy a demon with a land sacrifice.” “Dear @elonmusk, when someone tries to steal the wheels of your Tesla, it doesn’t make them legal owner of the car or of the wheels. “Russia has >3 times population of Ukraine, so victory for Ukraine is unlikely in total war.

Musk — who once live-tweeted himself taking a shit — followed up his poll by writing: “This is highly likely to be the outcome in the end – just a question of how many die before then” and then: “Also worth noting that a possible, albeit unlikely, outcome from this conflict is nuclear war.” This was followed by a poll with the answers “Yes” and “No” — the latter was winning at the time of writing. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy took time out of his busy schedule of fighting a war to troll Elon Musk on Twitter.Zelenskyy on Monday asked his followers “Which @elonmusk do you like more?” followed by a poll in which the options were “One who supports Ukraine” and “One who supports Russia.” Unsurprisingly, the former option has secured the lion’s share of the votes (at the time of writing).

Elon Musk vs. Twitter Part II: Empire of Risk (Axios)

The seeming double standard is a function of a subtle yet crucial distinction in securities law. KRAMER: NASA is relying on SpaceX and its culture of risk to get people to the moon. MUSK ARCHIVAL: Some of the smartest people in history have said, have, have, have thought about it and said like free speech is important for a healthy democracy. DREIER: And what SpaceX has been able to do is normalize experimentation, normalize failures in a controlled way, right? Right now, the company is working on developing its Starship rocket in Texas and that involves blowing up a lot of hardware. Some states have decided they wanna lead in this technology, but what happens is when you have a patchwork of laws, that there's really no clarity on what is safe and what is not. So what you had is a real lack of leadership in the regulatory offices to govern this technology. I visited a lot of factories and most auto plants have a safety culture that includes rules for forklift operators and other drivers inside the factories. NHTSA is the government body that regulates Tesla and the rest of the auto industry for safety. So you don't know when someone is driving a Tesla by you whether that software is engaged or who's driving the car. PANDEY: In this episode, we lift the hood on two of Musk’s companies: SpaceX and Tesla. He’s done this with rocket launches and with the rollout of Tesla’s self-driving software.

Twitter shares halted after report Elon Musk deal to go ahead (BBC News)

Trading in Twitter shares is halted after a report stated the billionaire will now buy the business.

Mr Musk, a prolific Twitter user with more than 100 million followers, first offered to buy the firm for $54.20 per share in April. Could this be a legal strategy to delay a court case? Twitter is reportedly looking at Mr Musk's offer closely. But he added, that Mr Musk's ownership of the platform, a top venue for politicians and journalists to spread news and opinion, would still likely cause a "firestorm of worries and questions" in Washington and beyond. In the letter, attorneys for Mr Musk said he intended to move ahead to complete the transaction, pending receipt of the financing, and asked to end the legal fight. In a letter to the firm, Mr Musk agreed to pay the price he offered months ago before trying to quit the deal.

If Musk were to lose, among the remedies that would favor Twitter is a court order to go through with the deal. to go through with its $550 million buyout of DecoPac, a company based in Minnesota that calls itself the world’s largest supplier of cake decorating supplies to professional decorators and bakeries. Or he might have to pay off a larger amount without actually buying the company for $44 billion. If the deal does go through, Musk may be stuck with a company he damaged with repeated statements denoucing fake accounts, Susannah Streeter, senior markets analyst for Hargreaves Lansdown in the United Kingdom, wrote in an investor note. Mysteriously, neither Musk nor Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal have written anything about the deal on Twitter, where many developments in the dispute have been aired. In a proposed order, Musk attorneys, said “an adverse inference is drawn against plaintiff, that all destroyed evidence corroborates Mr. What did surprise Talley is that Musk doesn’t appear to be trying to renegotiate the deal. Shareholders have already approved the sale, and legal experts say Musk faced a huge challenge to defend against Twitter’s lawsuit, which was filed in July. “Twitter could still be concerned that the same thing might happen again without some additional security,” Anderson said. Legal experts said Musk may have anticipated that he would lose. Trading halts are how stock exchanges give investors a forced timeout when trading for a stock gets too chaotic, or when a company is about to offer market-moving news. The contract Musk signed also has a $1 billion breakup fee.
