Elton John quits Twitter due to misinformation, Elon Musk responds

Veteran musician Elton John has decided to no longer use Twitter citing "misinformation" as the reason. The singer-songwriter shared the news in a statement posted on the microblogging site. "All my life I've tried to use music to bring people together. Yet it saddens me to see how misinformation is now being used to divide our world," John tweeted. "I've decided to no longer use Twitter, given their recent change in policy which will allow misinformation to flourish unchecked," he added. The platform had announced around two weeks ago that it will no longer enforce a policy to combat misinformation about the Covid-19 pandemic. In response to John's post, Twitter CEO Elon Musk tweeted that he hopes the singer returns to the platform soon. "I love your music. Hope you come back. Is there any misinformation in particular that you're concerned about?" Musk wrote.

SpaceX launches internet satellites for London-based rival company OneWeb

SpaceX launched internet satellites for a competitor Thursday, stepping in to help after the London-based OneWeb company halted its flights with Russia over the invasion of Ukraine. The Falcon rocket blasted off at sunset with 40 mini satellites bound for polar orbit.

Two women sue Elon Musk's Twitter alleging discriminatory layoffs

Two women who lost their jobs at Twitter when billionaire Elon Musk took over are suing the company in federal court, claiming that last month's abrupt mass layoffs disproportionately affected female employees. The discrimination lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal challenges over Musk's decimation of Twitter's workforce through mass layoffs and firings. Days after the world's richest man bought the social media platform for $44 billion, the company told about half of employees on Nov. 4 that they no longer had a job but would get three months severance. The lawsuit filed in a San Francisco federal court this week alleges that 57% of female employees were laid off, compared to less than half of men, despite Twitter employing more men overall before the layoffs. The cutbacks continued throughout November as Musk fired engineers who questioned or criticized him and gave all remaining employees the choice to resign with severance or sign a form pledging extremely hardcore work a
