"Elon Musk was right, Farcebook is in big #trouble. Only a few days ago, when the news emerged that disgracefulness book was in deep trouble, many people disregarded it. They said that Fakebook would simply settle for a small number of billions in liabilities and that's all. Situation appears to be worse than we thought."

More than 90% of Great Barrier Reefcoral surveyed this year was bleached, Australian #government scientists disclosed Tuesday in a new report.

"This is heartbreaking, this is deeply troubling, it shows that our (Great) Barrier Reef really is in very serious #trouble indeed”, said Simon Bradshaw, Director of Research at the Climate Council.

Bleaching is a phenomenon caused by global #warming, but this is the reef’s first bleaching event during a La Niña #weather pattern, which is associated with cooler #Pacific #Ocean temperatures.

Elon #Musk will cut board member salary to $0 if #Twitter bid succeeds

source: https://metro.co.uk/2022/04/19/elon-musk-will-cut-board-member-salary-to-0-if-twitter-bid-succeeds-16493239/

‘Board salary will be $0 if my bid succeeds, so that’s ~$3M/year saved right there,’ Musk tweeted in response to a user’s post criticising the board members who are each paid between $250,000 and $300,000 a year.

Twitter is so obviously overvalued and will never make significant profits. For Musk, the #company is only interesting to make trouble with Tweets just like #Trump did. Amazing that he doesn't set up his own #Mastodon server with his fanboys and mirror that to Twitter.
