Ethiopia Changing Laws to Prepare for M-PESA Launch
Image sourced from WeeTracker Ethiopia has reportedly started changing certain national payments laws in an effort to clear the way for Safaricom to launch M-PESA, Africa’s largest fintech platform, to the Horn of Africa country’s virtually untapped market of 110-million people. The National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) has drafted a bill that will allow foreign investors to launch and operate mobile money services in the country, making way for companies like Safaricom, which is planning to begin operations in Ethiopia within the year. Last year, a consortium led by Safaricom and Vodafone secured Ethiopia’s first-ever private mobile telephony license for $850-million, however, the deal did not include or permit mobile financial services like M-PESA. According to Business Daily Africa, the NBE n...
Donald Trump Says He Won’t Use Twitter Even if Elon Musk Unbans His Account
In what may be Donald Trump’s most popular action since appearing in Home Alone 2, the former President has pledged that he will not use Twitter, not even if the platform’s new owner Elon Musk unbans his account. As Trump explained to Fox News, the decision does not represent either changing interests or a newfound ability to shut the fuck up. No, after Trump’s permanent ban following the failed January 6th insurrection, the longtime Twitter addict did something rather committal while in the throws of his withdrawal, spending a small fortune on building his own social media platform. This new hangout changed almost nothing about Twitter’s design, except for using the Orwellian name TRUTH Social and instituting new rules preventing users from making fun of Trump. TRUTH Social laun...

Elon Musk Finalizing Deal to Purchase Twitter
Elon Musk is on course to finalize his purchase of Twitter after the two sides spent the weekend negotiating the terms of the sale. According to the New York Times, an agreement could be announced as soon as Monday. Musk launched a hostile takeover of Twitter earlier this month, offering to purchase the social media company for $43 billion. While Twitter’s board initially sought to stave off Musk’s efforts by deploying a poison pill shareholder rights plan, the board began to take his offer seriously after he sured up financing for the deal, the Times reports. The two sides are now reportedly discussing details including a timeline to close a potential deal and fees that would be paid if a deal fell through at the 11th hour. “I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the pl...
