Elon Musk has been buying up X shares near his initial purchase price
Elon Musk invested US$150 million to acquire X shares last year at a valuation near what he paid for the company’s equity in 2022. Read on

Elon Musk's only profitable company, Tesla, has created a cumulative grand total net income of $34 billion in its more than 20 years of existence.

That's less than the total amount of US federal subsidies his empire has collectively received.

The economics of Elon Musk are as bad as the politics.
Elon Musk, who has said the beneficiaries of federal spending are a "parasite class," runs businesses that have pocketed $38 billion in taxpayer-funded subsidies, loans and contracts www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i...

It will be interesting to see how much Matthews plays tonight, and if he takes any bumps, how he responds.

The Leafs need him to be miles better.

Contaminated products from one plant were distributed across Canada, but the facility hadn't been inspected for five years, despite complaints.

As a result of the outbreak 3 people died, one miscarried and many became seriously ill.

Senseless and tragic.

This might be the dumbest response from a GM I've ever heard in professional sports.
Asked Ross Atkins if there is interest in a possible reunion with Teoscar Hernandez:

“We are definitely interested in figuring out a way for that to be a possibility.” #BlueJays

Bluesky doesn’t have to be bigger than Twitter to be successful. It just has to be inviting, engaging and big enough that people can find people and accounts they enjoy engaging with, and or following.

Then People tell accounts and friends on other platforms to come here. It’s a SOCIAL network

The #Jays seem to be all over the place again. In on almost everyone.

One thing to keep in mind - Shapiro might seem inept, but he's a media master. He knows what fans and STHs want to hear, and he'll make sure it happens.

Don't believe any of it. This team won't look like anyone predicts.

Errol Musk confirms that Elon is lying when he says his father didn't own a mine and that he didn't benefit from it. Elon was both physically at the mine, and personally involved in selling emeralds to Tiffany's in New York.

Watching Grandpa Tyson fight like this....it ain't easy. It sucks ass, actually.

Time is undefeated. Thinking an almost 60(!!!!) Yr old should do this was nuts.
