The Tesla and SpaceX boss completed his purchase of Twitter on Thursday in a $44 billion deal, which he’d previously tried to walk away from. Almost immediately after Musk took control he fired Twitter Chief Executive Parag Agrawal, along with the company’s chief financial officer and head of legal affairs. Around this time two men, claiming to be fired Twitter employees, spoke to reporters outside the company’s headquarters in San Francisco....

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reported that around 640,000 shares were sold across two recent filings from November 11. These extensive sharings over the past week come after Musk pledged to sell 10 percent of his Tesla holdings. His sales currently amount to just over 3 percent of his stake in the vehicle manufacturer, leaving him with just under 17 percent of the company. As to where the money from his sales is going, around $1....

The billionaire revealed that the decision was due to his current legal battle with social media website Twitter, which is attempting to compel Musk to purchase the company based on an agreement signed earlier in 2022. Musk responded to a question on Twitter about whether he was finished selling Tesla stock. “Yes. In the (hopefully unlikely) event that Twitter forces this deal to close and some equity partners don’t come through, it is important to avoid an emergency sale of Tesla stock,” the billionaire said....

Described by Tesla as a “premium collectible,” the whistle was available on its website for $50 before quickly running out of stock. Tesla says the product is final sale, so it will not be listed again. Musk plugged the whistle on Twitter in what appears to have been a reference to whistleblowers. “Blow the whistle on Tesla!” he wrote, just weeks after an employee at the company’s Fremont factory in California launched a lawsuit against the company in which it is alleged that she experienced sexual harassment by co-workers, according to an excerpt from the lawsuit published by ArsTechnica....

The Justice Department published a legal complaint Thursday detailing an alleged attempt by Russian national Egor Igorevich Kriuchkov, 27, who tried to bribe a Tesla employee to install malware in the company’s network.

Kriuchkov allegedly offered to pay the unnamed Russian-speaking employee—who worked at the Tesla “Gigafactory” in Reno, Nevada—$1 million to install the malware....

The richest man on Earth with an eye on Mars may want to breach the world’s atmosphere, but he may have also pierced the realm of ’too much information’ in revealing where he shares some of his thoughts. “At least 50% of my tweets were made on a porcelain throne,” tweeted the SpaceX and Tesla founder on Monday as he got down to basics, suggesting he likes a private place to reveal his public musings....

“When did this become ‘Flatten the curve’ to ‘We have to find a cure or everyone’s going to die?’” Portnoy asked in his video. Portnoy said that he first considered infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony S. Fauci a grandfatherly sort “with no agenda” until Fauci’s Senate testimony on Wednesday, which Portnoy characterized as Fauci saying, “Reopen the country too quickly, everyone’s dead.’ Where’d that come from?!” In his Senate hearing, Dr....

The Brazil international was jeered by supporters despite scoring four goals in an 8-0 Ligue 1 win over Dijon last week. Neymar decided to take a late penalty in that victory, rather than allowing Edinson Cavani the chance to break Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s goalscoring record for the club .

Winger Di Maria opened the scoring inside 15 minutes at Parc des Princes, only to hobble off with an apparent hamstring problem. However, Emery — whose side capped off the win with Jese Rodriguez’s 90th-minute penalty — believes Di Maria, who played in both of Argentina’s international fixtures last week, will be able to feature at Emirates Stadium. “Angel, his exit was a precaution. I hope he will be fine for Wednesday’s game,” head coach Emery said....

Emmy’s far from drowning. Once again, she bobs up between the ease of country and the surreal romanticism of arty folk rock. “Red Dirt Girl” is a delicate yet substantial blend of deeply personal ballads, sung in her bittersweet, longing voice. It rides atop more traditional arrangements than her last record, 1995’s “Wrecking Ball,” but adopts some of the more woozy effects that made that album one of her most eclectic....

In a viral video posted November 4, TikTok user @spillame lamented over a vicious cycle commonly associated with retail work, and argued that her experience dealing with customers should serve as qualification for employment elsewhere. “When [your] ’temporary’ part time retail job through college has transitioned into a full time retail job,” @spillame wrote, in a text overlaying a video of herself. “And every job you apply to denies you because you have no experience in anything other than retail,” she added....
