Musk says Twitter is losing cash because advertising is down and the company is carrying heavy debt

Elon Musk says Twitter is losing cash because advertising is still down sharply and the social media company is carrying heavy debt Elon Musk says Twitter is still losing cash because advertising has dropped by half. In a reply to a tweet offering Business advice, Musk tweeted Saturday, “We’re still negative cash flow, due to (about a) 50% drop in advertising revenue plus heavy debt load.” “Need to reach positive cash flow before we have the luxury of anything else,” he concluded. Ever since he took over Twitter in a $44 billion deal last fall, Musk has tried to reassure advertisers who were concerned about the ouster of top executives, widespread layoffs and a different approach to content moderation. Some high-profile users who had been banned were allowed back on the site. In April, Musk said most of the advertisers who left had returned and that the company might become cash-flow positive in the second quarter. In May, he hired a new CEO, Linda Yaccarino, an NBCUniversal execu...

Image
Heuermann has been charged with the murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman and Amber Costello, and been called the prime suspect in the death of a fourth woman. The shocking revelation that New York City architect Rex Heuermann had been charged with three murders in connection to women found dead along Long Island's Gilgo Beach provided some answers about the decade-old case. But it also generated just as many new question s. Heuermann has been charged with the murders of Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman and Amber Costello, and has been called the "prime suspect" in the death of a fourth woman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes. All four women were found in the same area of the beach, bound in the same fashion and with three covered in burlap. However, six other bodies were found in the same area in late 2010 and early 2011, and police investigators said the investigation into Heuermann is far from over.

Students in shortchanged Pennsylvania school districts plug away while lawmakers dither over funding

By pursuing funding equity in court, financially challenged Pennsylvania districts are following a well-traveled school reform path PHILADELPHIA -- Nylla Miller didn’t dwell on the shortcomings of her education when she spoke at her high school graduation. Instead she talked about all she and her classmates had accomplished. They had achieved at high levels even in cramped classrooms with no air conditioning that got stuffier as the summer months approached — a reversal from earlier in the year, when the heat wasn't working and it was almost too cold to focus. Athletes had set new records, even on a dirt track that doesn’t meet state standards. Miller praised the Penn Wood High School Class of ’23 on a hot June morning in Hagan Arena at Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia without saying much about all the ways the Pennsylvania public schools had failed them. She told her fellow graduates and their families that they were “the flyest class ever to do it.” “We have left our mar...

Elon Musk launches AI firm xAI as he looks to take on OpenAI

Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur, launch ed his long-teased artificial intelligence startup xAI on Wednesday, unveiling a team comprised of engineers from the same big US  Technology firms that he hopes to challenge in his bid to build an alternative to ChatGPT. The startup will be led by Musk, already the CEO of electric car maker Tesla, CEO of rocket launch company SpaceX and owner of Twitter, who has said on several occasions that the development of AI should be paused and that the sector needed regulation. Musk has repeatedly voiced concerns about AI's potential for "civilizational destruction." In a Twitter Spaces event Wednesday evening, Musk explained his plan for building a safer AI. Rather than explicitly programming morality into its AI, xAI will seek to create a "maximally curious" AI, he said. "If it tried to understand the true nature of the universe, that's actually the best thing that I can come up with from an AI sa...

An Oklahoma judge has thrown out a lawsuit seeking reparations for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, dashing an effort to obtain some measure of legal justice by survivors of the deadly racist rampage An Oklahoma judge has thrown out a lawsuit seeking reparations for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, dashing an effort to obtain some measure of legal justice by survivors of the deadly racist rampage. Judge Caroline Wall on Friday dismissed with prejudice the lawsuit trying to force the city and others to make recompense for the destruction of the once-thriving Black district known as Greenwood. The order comes in a case by three survivors of the attack, who are all now over 100 years old and sued in 2020 with the hope of seeing what their attorney called "justice in their lifetime.” Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum said in a statement that the city has yet to receive the full court order. "The city remains committed to finding the graves of 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre victims, fostering economic i...

Americans' beliefs about politicization of Supreme Court differ widely based on political affiliation

While Republicans’ and independents’ views haven’t changed, Democrats increasingly say they view the Supreme Court as politically motivated. Americans’ views about the Supreme Court’s most recent decisions -- from curtailing the use of race-based affirmative action in higher education, blocking student loan forgiveness, and more -- varied widely based on political affiliation. New polling conducted by ABC News/Ipsos shows that Americans’ responses to the Supreme Court have been asymmetric, with the percentage of Republicans and independents who view the court’s decisions as driven by Politics remaining largely unchanged. Meanwhile, Democrats increasingly say they believe the justices render judgments on the basis of their political views rather than on the basis of law. While only a third of Republicans and half of independents say the court rules mainly on the basis of partisan political views, three-quarters of Democrats now hold that view -- a spike of 20 percentage points since ...
