Elon Musk said Saturday his planned $44 billion takeover of Twitter should move forward if the company can confirm some details about how it measures whether user accounts are ‘spam bots’ or real people. The billionaire and Tesla CEO has been trying to back out of his April agreement to buy the social media company, leading Twitter to sue him last month to complete the acquisition. Musk countersued, accusing Twitter of misleading his team about the true size of its user base and other problems he said amounted to fraud and breach of contract. Both sides are headed toward an October trial in a Delaware court. “If Twitter simply provides their method of sampling 100 accounts and how they’re confirmed to be real, the deal should proceed on original terms,” Musk tweeted early Saturday. “However, if it turns out that their SEC filings are materially false, then it should not.” Musk, who has more than 100 million Twitter followers, went on to challenge Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal to … [Read more...] about Musk says Twitter deal could move ahead with ‘bot’ info

Stellantis, the automotive conglomerate that owns Dodge, announced Monday that it will transition the vehicles out of its production lineup in 2023 through a unique sale of seven "heritage" models, each of which will bear the words "last call" on a plaque underneath its hood.

(Bloomberg) -- Texas Governor Greg Abbott told his fellow conservatives that they don’t need to worry about transplants from California and New York turning the state blue ahead of his re-election. Abbott spoke about the state’s strong job creation and influx of new businesses and residents, in particular from California, at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas on Thursday. He also suggested that many of the California newcomers are conservative and that liberal Texans have moved to the west coast. “We have an exchange program going on,” Abbott said in jest as the crowd cheered. “We’re getting the California conservatives, we’re sending them our liberals.” Abbott’s remarks highlight the fear of some long-time Texas residents that newcomers from the coastal cities may bring liberal politics from their home states. Abbott’s popularity has declined over his tenure, and a recent poll showed that 36% of Texans rate him as very unfavorable, compared to 19% who … [Read more...] about Abbott says Californians coming to Texas tend to be conservative
