~ CNN - the “C” Stands for “Change”
Heads will continue to roll at CNN, according to CNN chief Chris Licht. By the end of this year, over 1,000 jobs at parent company Warner Bros./Discovery will be eliminated.

~ Elon’s Mic Drop Twitter Troll — His Last One Before Moving In
Whatever you think about Elon Musk, the guy knows how to use social media like a boss. And speaking of boss, his takeover of Twitter—happening now in real time (that feels like slow motion)—is a compelling drama. Yes, Elon has a questionable past, and his interest in transhumanism is troubling—but if you gave up on Twitter because you felt like it is a poop show of a platform, full of toxic bias, censorship, and bots—a correct assessment, btw—you must be enjoying how he’s disrupting Twitter. Today, he made the ultimate troll tweet straight from the Twitter front lobby. Check this out:
He writes a dad joke to explain his carrying a sink into Twitter: “let that sink in!” However, could this be a much bigger symbol? Could this video of Elon holding a sink as he’s walking into Twitter be Elon’s creative way of saying “I’m going to clean out everything but the kitchen sink?”
A judge has told Elon he has till Friday to finalize the deal—so we will find out soon enough.
Plus - here is another tweet from Elon today…does this describe his vision for Twitter once he takes over?
