Elon Musk’s tweeting style seizes spotlight in Tesla trial

14 days ago Federal News Network

Musk followed up a few hours later with another tweet suggesting a deal was imminent.

Rowe began trimming its investments in Tesla, partially because of its diminished trust in Musk. “Do you know that this is trial is not about whether Elon Musk is a good or bad tweeter?” Spiro asked.

READ MORENEW ORLEANS (AP) — Injuries to Pelicans stars Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram took some of the luster off of New Orleans’ promising start to the regular season. Ingram, a dynamic scorer from the wing who’d averaged 28 points in the Pelicans’ first two games, left in the first half with a concussion. “I thought, ‘Oh, man, this isn’t good,'” Pelicans guard CJ McCollum said of the sight of Williamson crashing to the floor on his back side. The Pelicans play next on Tuesday night at home against Dallas and it was unclear whether Williamson or Ingram will be available for that game.

No OPEC+ oil shakeup as Russian price cap stirs uncertainty

Those are: a European Union boycott of most Russian oil and a price cap of $60 per barrel on Russian exports imposed by the EU and the Group of Seven democracies. It is not yet clear how much Russian oil the two sanctions measures could take off the global market, which would tighten supply and drive up prices. The impact of the price cap is also up in the air because Russia has said it could simply halt deliveries to countries that observe the limit. That is why the G-7 price cap allows shipping and insurance companies to transport Russian oil to non-Western nations at or below that threshold. The cap of $60 a barrel is near the current price of Russian oil, meaning Moscow could continue to sell while rejecting the cap in principle.

Report: Australian women, children returning from Syria camp

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — The first group of Australian women and children held in a Syrian camp since the Islamic State group fell in 2019 was bound for Sydney despite government opponents arguing they pose an unacceptable extremist threat, a media organization reported on Friday. The four women and 13 children had left the Roj detention camp in northeast Syria on Thursday and were taken to Iraq before boarding a flight to Australia, Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported. The fighters’ children and grandchildren were returned by the previous Australian government in 2019. Australian officials had assessed the returning group as the most vulnerable among 60 Australian women and children held in Roj, the ABC said. A British woman who repatriated with her child this month became the first adult to be allowed back into Britain from a Syrian camp since Islamic State fell.
