Captain America 4 Taps The Cloverfield Paradox Director Julius Onah

Elon Musk Officially Tries to Terminate Twitter Purchase
Elon Musk is officially trying — and here, ‘trying’ is a very important word — to break his $44 billion purchase agreement with Twitter. In a July 8th letter to the SEC, his representatives wrote, “Mr. Musk is terminating the Merger Agreement because Twitter is in material breach of multiple provisions of that Agreement,” and “appears to have made false and misleading representations upon which Mr. Musk relied when entering into the Merger Agreement.” As previously reported, Musk waived his rights to due diligence in his haste to consummate the Twitter deal, while also agreeing to pay a $1 billion penalty if he later backed out. He seems to have almost immediately regretted this, and very quickly began laying a legal groundwork to break the agreement without paying the fine....

It’s a sad day for Sopranos fans, as Tony Sirico has died at the age of 79.
