Employees upset as Musk will buy Twitter after all
Elon Musk is back at it, driving the left crazy and confounding investors. The mercurial Tesla founder has agreed to buy Twitter after all, at the $54.20 price per share agreed upon all those many contentious months ago. The head-spinning turn of events has the woke Left up in arms. The Hill quoted Angelo Carusone, president of the ultra-liberal Media Matters, claiming that Musk "will turn Twitter into a fever swamp of dangerous conspiracy theories, partisan chicanery, and operationalized harassment." All this outrage because Musk has vowed to create a "virtual town square" and has described himself as a champion of free speech.

New UK Prime Minister: Liz Truss replaces Boris Johnson | LiveNOW from FOX
New Conservative Party head Liz Truss became UK prime minister Tuesday, and Queen Elizabeth II asked her to form a new government. Outgoing British Prime Minister Boris Johnson visited Queen Elizabeth II in Scotland Tuesday to officially resign from office. Johnson's meeting with the queen comes two months after he declared that he would be stepping down, and a day after Truss became her party's new leader. "I am like one of those booster rockets that has fulfilled its function,’’ Johnson said Tuesday morning as he left his office for the royal Balmoral estate. "I will now be gently re-entering the atmosphere and splashing down invisibly in some remote and obscure corner of the Pacific." Typically, the transfer of power has been officially conducted at Buckingham Palace in London but is being held in Scotland this time to ensure a swift process and limit the 96-year-old queen's travel. Johnson indicated that he will be leaving politics, comparing himself to a Roman dictator who took to farming after leaving his position.

Elon Musk Twitter battle continues
Musk v. Twitter. This Page Six-style trial has everything: public confrontations, billions of dollars at stake, the future of Internet speech, and even a high-profile affair. And the story keeps getting juicer with billionaire businessman Elon Musk recently subpoenaing his friend and Twitter founder Jack Dorsey. Twitter is suing to force Musk to go through with an acquisition he no longer wants and a marriage that Twitter itself never wanted in the first place ? like an industrial shotgun wedding. And just like the Depp-Heard trial, this one is being played out in both the courts of justice and public opinion. Regardless of legal verdict, the American people have already won. In the 6 months since the made-for-TV acquisition began, we?ve seen the platform expand free speech in response to public scrutiny.

Kobe Bryant widow awarded $15 million in trial over crash site photos | LiveNOW from FOX
A federal jury found that Los Angeles County must pay Kobe Bryant’s widow $16 million for emotional distress caused by deputies and firefighters sharing photos of the bodies of the NBA star and his daughter taken at the site of the 2020 helicopter crash that killed them. The nine jurors who returned the unanimous verdict agreed with Vanessa Bryant and her attorneys that the photos of the remains of Kobe Bryant and their 13-year-old daughter Gianna invaded her privacy and brought her emotional distress. The jury deliberated for 4 1/2 hours before reaching the verdict. Vanessa Bryant cried quietly as it was read. An attorney for the county declined comment on the verdict outside the courtroom. The pictures were shared mostly between employees of the LA County sheriff’s and fire departments including by some who were playing video games and attending an awards banquet. They were also seen by some of their spouses and in one case by a bartender at a bar where a deputy was drinking. Vanessa Bryant tearfully testified during the 11-day trial that news of the photos compounded her still-raw grief a month after losing her husband and daughter, and that she still has panic attacks at the thought that they might still be out there. “I live in fear every day of being on social media and these popping up,” she testified. “I live in fear of my daughters being on social media and these popping up.” Her co-plaintiff Chris Chester, whose wife and daughter were also among the nine people killed in the crash, was awarded $15 million. The jury returned its verdict on Kobe Bryant Day, which is celebrated on Aug. 24 because it uses both of his jersey numbers — 8 and 24 — and is the day after his birthday. Tuesday would have been Kobe’s 44th birthday.
