Bloomberg News - Musk Jury Reaches Verdict in Tesla Tweet Fraud Trial, Court Says
A jury cleared Elon Musk of claims by Tesla Inc. investors that he defrauded them when he tweeted 4 1/2 years ago that he was considering taking the company private and had “funding secured” to make the deal happen.

After the verdict was read, three jurors answered questions from lawyers for the plaintiffs. One male juror said their arguments were difficult to follow and sometimes seemed disorganized.

"There was nothing there to give me an 'aha' moment," he said, later adding, "Elon Musk is a guy who could sneeze and the stock market could react."

The jury didn't care/understand or want to.

Sounds like his lawyers got the jury they wanted and the prosecution failed to do much to presuade them differently.

The Information - Musk’s Twitter Has Just 180,000 U.S. Subscribers, Two Months After Launch

Erin Woo: “scoop: as of mid-January, Twitter only had around 180k paid subscribers in the US, less than .2% of its monetizable monthly active users. with around 290k paying subscribers globally, this would imply just ~$28m in annual revenue — 1% of Twitter's total”

Ben Collins, NBC News: “FYI: It's not just you. Twitter's broken right now. Sending Tweets is down. DMs are down. You can still schedule tweets a minute in advance.” “While I try to report this out, somebody tell Woj and Shams you can schedule your tweets and it still works, thank you.”

posting on Twitter in the traditional way is broken for some right now.

Reuters - Elon Musk's Neuralink may have illegally transported pathogens, animal advocates say

An animal-welfare organization said it plans to ask a U.S. government agency on Thursday to investigate Elon Musk's brain-implant company Neuralink over records it said show potentially illegal movement of hazardous pathogens.

The Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine (PCRM) said in a letter to the U.S. Department of Transportation, which was shared with Reuters, that it has obtained emails and other documents that suggest unsafe packaging and movement of implants removed from the brains of monkeys. These implants may have carried infectious diseases in violation of federal law, PCRM said.

The letter said records that the group obtained showed instances of pathogens, such as antibiotic-resistant staphylococcus and herpes B virus, that may have been transported without proper containment measures.
