New York CNN —Elon Musk apparently has one last battle to wage with outgoing Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler. The SEC and Gensler did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Musk and the SEC have been been clashing for a number of years, including during Trump’s first term. The letter Musk posted also said that Spiro had been subpoenaed to to give testimony, which he refused to do so. In April 2022, Musk disclosed he had purchased 9% of the shares of Twitter ahead of his purchase of the entire company later that year.

Discovery, David Zaslav arrives for the world premiere of "The Flash" at Ovation Hollywood in Hollywood, California, on June 12, 2023. Discovery on Thursday announced a restructuring plan to segment its business into linear and streaming units in a move that could simplify future consolidation. The company's new global linear networks division will house its networks of news, sports, scripted and unscripted programming like CNN, TBS, TNT, HGTV and the Food Network. A streaming and studios unit will house WBD's film studios and streaming platform Max.

Combs’ legal team dismissed the suit as a “shameless publicity stunt.”Here’s what we know about the litigation. The lawsuit was originally filed in October against Combs, and it was amended Sunday to include Carter as a defendant. Jay-Z and Sean Combs attend Puffy's Fourth of July Party at Sean Combs' House, in East Hampton, N.Y., on July 2, 2000. The plaintiff lay down in a room, the lawsuit says, and Combs and Carter entered. Carter described a pre-litigation demand letter from the lawyer who filed the suit as an effort to “blackmail” him into settling.

Jay-Z was named in an amended complaint to a lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs, filed in October. Jay-Z's response to the rape accusations against him is missing something, according to one crisis-PR expert. The stars were only identified in the civil lawsuit as "Celebrity A" and "Celebrity B." He's "too big to cancel, and his brand is too strong to be destroyed by a civil lawsuit," Nierman said. "Jay-Z is not going to be defined by these allegations," Nierman said.

Texas-based attorney Tony Buzbee, who filed the lawsuit against Carter and Combs, responded to Spiro’s motion in an interview Monday with NBC News. “Anyone that suggests that a demand letter, especially the one that I sent, is extortion or blackmail, is foolish,” Buzbee said. The lawsuit says the accuser managed to resist being forced to perform oral sex on Combs by hitting him in the neck. In the wake of the alleged assault, the suit says, the accuser “grabbed her clothes” and left. The lawsuit is filed under New York’s Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act.

Jay-Z has filed his first response to a lawsuit alleging he and Sean "Diddy" Combs raped a 13-year-old. He said he wanted to force the woman to proceed under her real name instead of Jane Doe. AdvertisementRapper Jay-Z is fighting to quickly unmask the Jane Doe accuser who has sued him and Sean "Diddy" Combs over allegations that she was sexually attacked after the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards when she was 13 years old. When the Jane Doe first filed her lawsuit, in October, she had named only Combs, his companies and his associates as defendants. The woman's lawyer, Tony Buzbee, confirmed to Business Insider on Sunday there had been previous contact between the Jane Doe and Carter.

Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber said the state of soccer in the U.S. is strong and Apple subscriptions are exceeding expectations as the league prepares for the MLS Cup on Saturday. And that enthusiasm translated to watching games outside the stadium, too. We have more people watching our games," Garber said. Yet the soccer commissioner said he's exceedingly happy with the relationship, noting that Apple gives MLS the platform to make every single game a national game.

Walt Disney debuted a dedicated ESPN tile Wednesday on Disney+ for people who subscribe to ESPN+, its sports streaming platform, to watch programming without leaving the Disney+ application. Next fall, when ESPN launches its yet-to-be-named "flagship" service, those subscribers will get full access to all ESPN content through the ESPN tile on Disney+. Disney is making about 100 live games available to Disney+ members without a corresponding ESPN subscription. Some ESPN sports-related films and documentaries will also appear on Disney+ married to whatever sports season is active, Pitaro said. If a Disney+ subscriber who isn't an ESPN customer clicks on something that requires an ESPN subscription, the user will be prompted to sign up within the app.

☆ 5 Democratic assumptions shattered by the 2024 election: From the Politics Desk

In today’s edition, senior politics reporter Alex Seitz-Wald breaks down the long-standing Democratic truisms that were challenged by the results of the 2024 elections. Here are five of the party’s core assumptions that have been challenged by the 2024 election outcome:1. Higher turnout benefits Democrats: Democrats have long taken for granted a simple truism: The more people who vote, the better for Democrats. NBC News exit polls show Trump won voters without college degrees 56%-42%, while he narrowly won voters with family incomes of $30,000 to $100,000 annually. But Trump won both the Electoral College and popular vote this year as Harris’ performance fell in those Democratic bastions.

The Democratic National Committee will elect a new chairman on Feb. 1, the party announced Monday, as it reels from President-Elect Donal Trump’s victory earlier this month. That includes Wisconsin State Party Chair Ben Wikler, who is set to announce a decision right after Thanksgiving, a person with knowledge of his thinking said. The timeline will be more compressed than the last time the party elected a new chair after losing the White House, in 2017, when the election was held on Feb. 25. The Feb. 1 date will allow Democrats to have a new chair in place shortly after Trump’s Inauguration on Jan. 20 and at the start of his administration. But when Republicans are in power, the DNC chair election becomes a wide open contest for a range of candidates to put forth competing visions for the party and the role of the chair.
