Elon Musk

Musk said he never intended to be CEO of Tesla, and that he didn't want to be chief executive of any other companies either, preferring to see himself as an engineer instead. Musk had to testify in Delaware's Court of Chancery over a shareholder's challenge to Musk's potentially US $55 billion ($82b) compensation plan as CEO of the electric car company. Musk permanently banned the @ElonJet account on Wednesday, then changed Twitter's rules to prohibit the sharing of another person's current location without their consent. Twitter had said it would at least temporarily suspend accounts that include the banned websites in their profile — a practice so widespread it would have been difficult to enforce the restrictions on Twitter's millions of users around the world. His Twitter account was promptly suspended, and soon after restored as Musk promised to reverse the policy implemented just hours earlier. Twitter previously took action to block links to Mastodon after its main Twitter account tweeted about the @ElonJet controversy last week.

But recent logistical challenges, pandemic-related lockdowns in China, higher borrowing costs and a dull outlook for global economic growth have raised concerns. Last month, Musk told a Delaware court that he would reduce his time at Twitter and eventually find a new leader to run the social media company.

The Twitter C.E.O. wrested the titled from Donald J. Trump, who had won the honor every year from 2016 to 2021.

The Time editors’ decision drew no immediate response from Musk, who was preoccupied with a Twitter poll asking his followers what he should have for lunch. In bestowing the title on Musk, Time cited the Twitter C.E.O.’s “nonstop but fruitless efforts to fill the yawning chasm of his soul by seeking the attention of indifferent strangers.” Most impressive, he wrested the title from Donald J.

Elon Musk's poll, asking whether he should stand down as the boss of Twitter, appeared hours after he was photographed at the World Cup final in Qatar. That photo tells us two things: firstly, Musk was standing beside Jared Kushner - the son-in-law of ...

Perhaps the future of this troubled firm lies not in the stars, but with feet firmly on solid ground. But perhaps he's now learning the hard way that social media, and the people who bring it to life, are not machines. Throw into that mix the unpredictability of Musk himself - and the ongoing risk that his next tweet could cause untold reputational damage and/or regulatory scrutiny. The finances are bleak according to Musk: he says Twitter is operating at a loss of $4m per day. After all, he put to the vote whether or not he should buy Twitter in the first place, when this entire circus began. It proves Musk was geographically in the vicinity of Saudi Arabia - home to Twitter's biggest investors.

Twitter users voted decisively in a poll for Elon Musk to step down as chief executive of the social media platform.

Mastodon is a social network that has been touted as a Twitter alternative. It would allow cross-content posting, Twitter support had said in the deleted tweet. “For someone who sets so much store by work ethic, Musk sure seems to spend a lot of time on social media. Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment. “By Musk’s - and some analysts’ assertions – drastic measures are needed if Twitter’s business model is to remain viable. He had said that there is no successor yet.

Whether or not his poll was genuine, Musk would be wise to take a step back from the social media site.

“This suggests that firms are choosing to increase fixed pay to compensate in-scope individuals as a consequence of the bonus cap constraint,” it says. It was a sound argument at the time, and it remains so. UK regulators opposed the bonus cap in the first place for reasons of financial safety: a bigger contractual bill for salaries leaves less room to preserve capital in a crisis by slashing discretionary bonuses. When the bonus ratio of a “material risk taker” – those covered by cap – gets close to 200%, their fixed pay tends to rise “much faster” than peers’ in the following year. Rather, it caps the ratio between the fixed and variable components of a pay packet. They want to be proud as hell to drive them – not embarrassed,” said Gary Black, the managing partner of Future Fund, whose biggest investment is Tesla, last week.

A poll by Elon Musk on whether he should quit as Twitter CEO has shown the majority of users of the social media platform who took part want him to stand ...

"Elon" and "CEO of Twitter" were among the trending topics on the social media platform on Monday. About 57.5 per cent of votes were for "Yes", while 42.5 per cent were against the idea of Mr Musk stepping down as the head of Twitter, according to the poll the billionaire launched on Sunday evening (local time). Twitter users voted in a poll for Elon Musk to step down as chief executive of the social media platform, in a backlash against the billionaire less than two months after he took over.

Musk's ownership of Twitter has set the Tesla founder a test he has, thus far, failed. But a much more important test for regulators is how prepared they ...

As a stress test of whether they have the right approach and right toolkit, regulators emerge well here. And it would be a cause for greater concern if WhatsApp prevented the free sharing of information about potential competitors. Unlike TikTok, or a slew of spaces used for gaming and esports, it is not host to a large number of young people. It is only a problem if Twitter becomes The suspension of Musk’s critics is certainly troubling behaviour from someone who claims to aspire to turn Twitter into an “everything app”. But do I sometimes think it would be better for my productivity and good health if the social media platform were to be closed?

More than half of the 17.5 million respondents voted “yes” to Musk's Twitter question.

Musk also said he expected an organizational restructuring of Twitter to be completed in the next week or so. His Twitter account was promptly suspended, and then restored, as Musk reversed the policy implemented just hours earlier. “Again, the suspension occurred with no warning, process or explanation — this time as our reporter merely sought comment from Musk for a story,” Buzbee said. Twitter had announced that users will no longer be able to link to Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon and other platforms the company described as “prohibited.” He then took aim at journalists who were writing about the jet-tracking account, which can still be found on other social media sites, alleging that they were broadcasting “basically assassination coordinates.” Musk was questioned in court on Nov. Twitter gave no explanation for why the blacklist included some websites but not others such as Parler, TikTok or LinkedIn. The billionaire Tesla CEO Musk had attended the World Cup final Sunday in Qatar, where he opened the poll. After it closed 12 hours later, there was no immediate announcement from Twitter or Musk, who may be midflight on his way back to the U.S.
