Elon Musk tweeted on Friday that his $44-billion cash deal for Twitter Inc was "temporarily on hold" while he waits for the social media company to provide data on the proportion of its fake accounts. Twitter shares initially fell more than 20% in premarket trading, but after Musk, the chief executive of electric car market Tesla Inc, sent a second tweet saying he remained committed to the deal, they regained some ground. The shares were down 9.6% to $40.71 in trading on Friday, a steep discount to the $54.20 per share acquisition price. Musk, the world's richest person, decided to waive due diligence when he agreed to buy Twitter on April 25, in an effort to get the San Francisco-based company to accept his "best and final offer." This could make it harder for him to argue that Twitter somehow misled him. Since Musk inked his deal to acquire Twitter, technology stocks have plunged amid investor concerns over inflation and a potential economic slowdown. The spread between the … [Read more...] about Musk Says $44 Billion Twitter Deal On Hold Over Fake Account Data

4 tips to make little moments of connection count
(BPT) - It can be difficult to stay connected with the people you love. Staying connected with your children is especially important because quality connections can help them feel supported and loved as they grow and change. According to the 2021 Parents & Quality Time - National Consumer Survey by Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats, three out of four parents believe small, everyday moments with family are the most important way to foster big connections over time.* What's more, building supportive connections through little moments and memories goes beyond parents and children; it includes all members of the framily (friends and family), including parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers and coaches.

Israel lawmakers take 1st step toward dissolving parliament
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 8 JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli lawmakers voted in favor of dissolving parliament in a preliminary vote on Wednesday, setting the wheels in motion to send the country to its fifth national election in just over three years. The development was the first step in a series of votes before the formal dissolution of the 120-seat Knesset. It came two days after Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced he was disbanding his unraveling governing coalition of eight ideologically diverse parties just over a year after he took office. The historic coalition, which unseated longtime leader Benjamin Netanyahu, was wracked by infighting and defections in recent months. It included dovish parties committed to a two-state solution with the Palestinians, hawkish ultranationalists who oppose a Palestinian state, and a small Islamist faction, the first Arab party to join a … [Read more...] about Israel lawmakers take 1st step toward dissolving parliament
Ecclestone: Betting on Ferrari will get you nothing
As Charles Leclerc’s deficit to Max Verstappen continues to grow, Bernie Ecclestone says anyone who bet on Ferrari for this year’s championships can kiss their money goodbye. Ferrari came out firing at the start of 2022, the Scuderia seemingly having understood Formula 1’s all-new technical regulations better than their rivals. Leclerc raced out to a 34-point advantage after three races, winning in Bahrain and Australia while also finishing runner-up to Max Verstappen in Saudi Arabia. And then it began to go wrong, horribly wrong. While Red Bull got on top of their reliability troubles, Ferrari’s emerged with Leclerc suffering two retirements as well as a back-of-the-grid start in Canada due to engine penalties . A driver error at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix and a botched strategy in Monaco meant that while the Ferrari driver continued to have the one-lap pace on Saturdays, he wasn’t able to turn that into wins come the Sundays. Ecclestone is disappointed, the former … [Read more...] about Ecclestone: Betting on Ferrari will get you nothing
