Musk Crowns Himself the Technoking In a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Musk officially changed his job title to the Technoking of Tesla. Zach Kirkhorn, the CFO of Tesla, underwent a title change as well. Instead of being labeled as the company’s CFO, he’ll be called Tesla’s Master of Coin, which is a blatant reference to the Game of Thrones. Kirkhorn’s name change likely alludes to Tesla’s $1.5 billion investment in bitcoin, as well as its plans to start letting customers make payments using the cryptocurrency....

On Monday, Musk publicly challenged Putin on Twitter, calling him out and tagging the Kremlin in the process. Musk actually received a response from Dmitry Rogozin, a high-ranking Russian politician which prompted the Tesla CEO to negotiate. Musk, who has previously voiced his support for Ukraine, was criticized on Monday for sharing a meme that seemed to mock people supporting Ukraine online but his latest Tweets suggests he’s still invested in the current conflict....

Cavani’s double ensured the points were shared - Nice going top, four points ahead of the champions - but Emery remains under pressure after failing to take a victory from PSG’s last three fixtures in all competitions....

After Borderlands finished filming nearly 2 years ago, fans got understandably confused at the lack of news regarding the movie’s eventual release. After roughly a year and a half of relative silence, the start of 2023 saw rumors circulating that Roth had been fired from the stalled project. It certainly makes sense that some would assume this, given how long it’s been in production. But it turns out the story is a bit more complicated, and Roth is still on board....

A frontrunner for a Cabinet position in the Biden administration, the Massachusetts senator said in an op-ed for The Washington Post that the success of the campaign of Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris was based on the “most progressive economic and racial justice platform of any general election nominee ever.” Referring to “explicit plans” to create clean energy jobs, boost Social Security benefits, increase healthcare provision and taxes, Warren said that Biden and Harris needed to live up to those promises, writing “now, Democrats also need to deliver for the American people....

Both of these variables could affect the balance of power in the Senate, which is currently controlled by the Republican Party. If Republicans’ majority in the Senate lasts through Georgia’s runoff elections in January, Biden’s first term will begin under divided government, which will impact the extent to which he can push through his administration’s agenda. Democrats were optimistic about their chances of flipping a handful of vulnerable Senate seats this election cycle, but that optimism receded as many state election results defied poll projections....

During Wednesday’s second-round debate, Biden appeared bruised by unrelenting attacks on his long record in the U.S. Senate and in the White House, but he ultimately emerged unscathed, topping out the poll with 32-percent support among Democratic voters. Senator Elizabeth Warren, who paired with Senator Bernie Sanders to defend a broadly progressive 2020 agenda against skeptical moderates on the outskirts of the debate stage lineup, did not appear to benefit from her centrality during Tuesday’s first-round debates....

“Something extremely bogus is going on. Was tested for covid four times today. Two tests came back negative, two came back positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse. Rapid antigen test from BD,” Musk tweeted early Friday morning. People on Twitter, responded negatively. One user shared a screenshot from the news of cars lined up to get coronavirus tests in Elysian Park, California, not far from SpaceX’s headquarters. The user called Musk a “d**k” for getting four tests while people wait....

Embiid has been dealing with knee soreness and the NBA All-Star will miss his seventh consecutive game when the 76ers face the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday. The 24-year-old, though, could make join Philadelphia for their trip to Houston. “I hope so,” said Brown. “But I’d be reckless to declare it official. I believe there’s a chance that he may meet us in Houston.” Last week, Embiid said: “It’s all about long-term preservation and making sure I’m ready not just for the playoffs, but also for the next 15 years....

Aubameyang, 30, is contracted until 2021, while 28-year-old Lacazette’s deal expires at the end of the following season....

The Gunners overcame a shaky start in which they spent most of the first half on the back foot to record back-to-back Premier League away wins for the first time since May 2017. A stunning Granit Xhaka free-kick and a goal for Mesut Ozil on his 200th Arsenal appearance ensured the points for the visitors at St James’ Park despite Ciaran Clark’s late header. Much was made of Arsenal’s struggles on the road last season as they won just one away game in the league after the turn of the year....

Regular holding player Thiago Motta has missed much of the last six weeks with a knee injury, forcing Emery into more makeshift solutions for the position. Adrien Rabiot has been deployed at the base of midfield at times this season, while Giovani Lo Celso started the 4-1 victory over Rennes on Saturday before being replaced by fit-again Motta in the second half While Emery has been impressed with the limited contributions of the Argentine youngster, he has hinted he wants to add a more experienced player should Motta pick up another problem....
