Twitter: Elon Musk blames 'activist groups' for earnings drop
Bkk Brian replied to Scott's topic in World News
Twitter boss Elon Musk 'not above the law', warns US regulator On Thursday, Yoel Roth, who had been Twitter's head of trust and safety, updated his profile on the social media platform to indicate that he was no longer in the role. Chief privacy officer Damien Kieran and chief compliance officer Marianne Fogarty resigned, according to reports, and the company's chief security officer Lea Kissner also quit. The departures may increase the risk of Twitter violating regulatory orders. The firm was fined $150m (£119m) in May for selling users' data, and had to agree to new privacy rules. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-63593242 -
How large is Trump's base currently? You may conveniently decide its best to ignore him after all this time, how many of the MAGA culties are? Do you know how many election denying officials got voted in? At least 124 Republicans elected in the US midterms have publicly denied the result of the 2020 presidential election. Trump is not out of this by a long shot yet.

Elon Musk warns Twitter could go bankrupt amid company turmoil Twitter's new owner Elon Musk on Thursday raised the possibility of the social media platform going bankrupt, capping a chaotic day that included a warning from a U.S. regulator and departures of senior executives viewed as future leaders. The billionaire told Twitter employees on a call that that he could not rule out bankruptcy, Bloomberg News reported, two weeks after buying it for $44 billion - a deal that credit experts say has left Twitter's finances in a precarious position. Two executives - Yoel Roth and Robin Wheeler - who moderated a Twitter Spaces chat with Musk on Wednesday as he tried to assuage advertisers' concerns, have resigned, one person close to the matter told Reuters. https://www.france24.com/en/americas/20221111-elon-musk-warns-twitter-could-go-bankrupt-amid-company-turmoil -

Youth Voter Turnout in the 2022 Midterms Delivered Key Wins for Democrats An initial look at youth voting patterns shared by the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement at Tufts (CIRCLE) shows that young Americans ages 18-29 overwhelmingly backed Democrats for the U.S. House of Representatives. CIRCLE’s analysis of the Edison Research National Election Pool exit poll found that 63% of young Americans voted for a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House, while 35% of young Americans backed Republican candidates. With the threat of a national abortion ban on the horizon to far-right candidates promoting climate change denial and threatening to reject election results, according to organizers, there was an overwhelming understanding this cycle of “the stakes of the moment,” said Sunrise Movement’s 25-year-old national spokesperson Ellen Sciales. https://www.teenvogue.com/story/youth-voter-turnout-2022-midterms-democrats

No fan of DeSantis but Trumps personal threats against him show just how low this creep gets. Donald Trump Threatens To Dish Dirt On Ron DeSantis If He Runs In 2024 "I know more about him than anybody — other than, perhaps, his wife," the former president said of his potential rival. “I would tell you things about him that won’t be very flattering — I know more about him than anybody — other than, perhaps, his wife,” Trump said Tuesday. Trump also claimed DeSantis, who was projected to win reelection to a second term as governor in Tuesday’s midterms, could “hurt himself very badly” if he ran. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-warns-desantis-wife_n_636b5461e4b021a4038f4534

In speeches, Trump uses dozens of lies, exaggerations to draw contrast with Biden Even in a midterm marked by misinformation, conspiracy theories and false or misleading attacks, nobody does it like Donald Trump. The former president, in a burst of campaigning for Republican candidates while he readies his own third bid for the White House, is honing a stump speech based around juxtaposing current conditions with those during his presidency — a contrast he heightens by misrepresenting and exaggerating on both ends. The Post provided Trump’s team with a full list of the inaccurate statements and requested any additional substantiation. After the requested amount of time to review, spokesman Taylor Budowich did not dispute any specific items in the analysis. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/11/07/trump-falsehoods-lies-speeches/
