To get a sense of which employees were more likely to take home large grants, BI broke up stock grants based on job category. So far, stock grants have "proven to be better than cash in your pocket."

Elon Musk on Sunday reinstated the account of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on X, formerly Twitter, reneging on a year-ago vow to keep Jones off the social network.

Musk said Jones "cannot break the law," but that if he does spread misinformation, X's community notes feature will correct him.

Sweeney said some real-time flight-tracking accounts haven't been banned, despite Twitter's policy. The college student had over 30 accounts banned after Elon Musk instituted a policy change. Since then, Sweeney has opened up a new personal account, as well as Twitter accounts that track Musk's private jet and Gov. Insider was able to identify multiple accounts on Twitter that shared real-time flight data but have not been banned. Sweeney pointed to accounts of top Musk critics like Aaron Greenspan that have been banned seemingly without any specific reason in recent months.

Twitter suspended the accounts of PlainSite and its founder Aaron Greenspan, a prolific Tesla and Elon Musk critic, on Tuesday afternoon. PlainSite is an online database that makes state and federal court filings and other public records available to users for free. Greenspan has meticulously tracked litigation by or against companies mostly in the U.S., including Tesla, Twitter (which Musk took private in an acquisition last year), as well as competitors GM , Meta and a myriad of others. The suspension stands at odds with public statements from Twitter's executive chairman and CTO Elon Musk, and newly-appointed CEO Linda Yaccarino. He also discussed some of the reasons why he started the "legal transparency initiative" PlainSite, and how he came to be regarded as an Elon Musk nemesis.
