Last weekend, he said he would sell 10 percent of his holdings in the company, worth more than $20 billion, based on the results of a poll he conducted on Twitter. The sale tweets caused a panicked sell-off of Tesla stock earlier this week but it recovered slightly yesterday, with shares up 2.6 percent to $1,096. The poll raises questions about whether it was always Musk’s intention to sell off regardless, with tax transactions “automatically effected” in a sell-off plan already agreed in September....

On Monday, Bloomberg reported that Musk had purchased a 9.2 percent stake in Twitter, becoming the social media platform’s biggest shareholder, according to a U.S. securities filing. Just after noon on Monday, Musk tweeted “oh hi lol,” his first since news broke of his Twitter stock purchase. Lavern Spicer, a Republican congressional candidate, responded to Musk’s tweet with a message of gratitude for “helping to save western civilization.” Ryan Petty, whose daughter was killed in the shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School, told Musk “all we ask is a level playing field....

Elon Musk is again twitting Bitcoin on Twitter, but this time his cryptic comments have drawn sharp criticism from crypto true believers. His recent comments undercut the efforts of investors to establish Bitcoin as an asset class and may erode Musk’s standing as leader of two major companies, Tesla and SpaceX. In a recent comment, the Tesla CEO posted a breakup meme: a photo of a young couple sitting on a couch with arms crossed and looking in opposite directions....

Reports of changes to the 2019 film emerged after Entertainment Weekly digital director Shana Krochmal tweeted Wednesday about noticing the changes while on a Delta flight. Several other passengers have weighed in online to add that they have also noticed the edits. “On @Delta today discovered that #Rocketman is stripped of almost every gay reference or scene that @eltonofficial fought to keep in the film’s mainstream release, including a simple chaste kiss,” tweeted Krochmal....

Over the course of its acquisition spree, Embracer has racked up a total cost of $8.1 billion for the 62 companies. Today, it has become Europe’s biggest gaming company and claims ownership of a number of renowned studios such as THQ Nordic, Koch Media, and Witcher 3 port developer Saber Interactive, among others.

What Is an Embryo? An embryo is the early stage of a baby’s development during pregnancy. The first stage is the fertilized egg (zygote). It divides to become a blastocyst and travels down the fallopian tube to the uterus, where it may implant to establish the pregnancy. The developing baby is termed an embryo from week five until the end of the 10th week of pregnancy (counted from the last menstrual period)....

But within days of publication, that wasn’t so clear. A more careful examination of Lanza’s work showed he’d only proposed a new method, but hadn’t in fact proved it worked from start to finish. And, by relying on human embryos, he still couldn’t avoid the inevitable firestorm. Publicly, the White House took a measured approach, calling the reports “encouraging.” Some social conservatives, particularly Roman Catholics, were far more critical. Though they claimed a moral victory, saying their hard-line position had forced scientists to consider the ethical status of the embryo, they dismissed Lanza’s approach....

The association and its members have had to manage the changing landscape of legalized gambling since a Supreme Court decision last year opened the door for states to introduce sports wagering. Seven states have done so since, joining Nevada. NCAA rules prohibit athletes and coaches from gambling on sports and it is unlikely that will change any time soon. “The membership wants a prohibition of athletes gambling in any sports, period,” NCAA President Mark Emmert said Thursday....

The good news is, the companies that design plans for employers have been polishing their offerings, and employers with renewed profitability are in a better position to adopt new plans. At the same time, lower taxes on capital gains and dividends make tax-deferred retirement plans somewhat less valuable by comparison, especially for high-bracket taxpayers: the profits you earn on stocks you buy yourself will be taxed at 15 percent, tops, compared with the 25 percent or more you’re likely to pay on your retirement-plan profits....

Ti-Lar Bee, known as @operachick, posted about the incident on TikTok where it received more than 1.2 million views and 1,800 comments. The video can be found here. Recent Layoffs Layoffs typically occur when a company is restructuring or because the company is no longer able to employ a department, with the pandemic resulting in many companies restructuring and laying off many employees. A recent survey of 722 U.S. executives conducted by PwC found that half of the firms are expecting to reduce the number of employees while 52 percent foresee a hiring freeze....

EMTALA was developed to combat “patient dumping,” the practice of refusing to treat people who did not have the ability to pay for healthcare services. It guarantees those with insufficient means will not be turned away from emergency medical care. Most U.S. hospitals participate in Medicare so that in effect the law covers virtually all hospitals. EMTALA is contained within the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) and falls under the auspices of CMS, the Center for Medicare Services....

Enbrel is a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker. The boxed warning also advises that lymphoma and other malignancies have been reported in children and adolescents using TNF blockers. In autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks itself and causes symptoms such as pain and swelling. As a TNF inhibitor, Enbrel affects the immune system by binding to TNF alpha and TNF beta, rendering TNF inactive. TNF is a substance in the body that causes inflammation....

The turtle found Saturday off the Key Largo coast has been given the name “Splinter,” and she was found wrapped in a black rope that was tied to a buoy. The boater called local authorities to alert them. Officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission rescued Splinter and transported her south to The Turtle Hospital in Marathon, according to WTSP News 10 in Tampa. Doctors at The Turtle Hospital performed emergency surgery to remove the spear, which went well beyond the turtle’s neck and through half its body, which X-ray pictures determined....

You watch the footage of the incident below:...

Inciarte hasn’t played since Aug. 16, when he strained his right hamstring running the bases. However, he’d been running well this week, and the Braves had originally hoped to activate him in time for this weekend’s series against the Mets. But Inciarte indicated Friday he’s still feeling discomfort, so the team decided to shut him down through the NLDS, with hopes he’ll be ready for the NLCS if they advance....

His performance of the Beethoven Violin Concerto at Carnegie Hall in 1927 made him an international celebrity, proving in the bargain that not even the crustiest old pros were immune to his musical charm. When New York Philharmonic conductor Fritz Busch first heard that his featured soloist was 11 years old, he muttered, “One doesn’t hire Jackie Coogan [the child movie star] to play Hamlet.” But when Busch heard Menuhin play, he told him, “My dear child, you can play anything with me, any time, anywhere....
