The filing Thursday in San Francisco federal court seeks a judge’s order requiring Musk to testify, alleging “blatant refusal to comply” with an earlier SEC subpoena. Musk testified twice as part of the SEC’s investigation in July 2022, according to the agency. The SEC served Musk with a subpoena to testify again in the matter in May 2023, according to the court filing. The current subpoena at issue seeks evidence and testimony from Musk that the SEC does not yet possess, the agency said. The SEC attempted to negotiate with Musk to find alternative dates later this fall, according to court documents.

X changes its app store tagline after users complain about confusing new name and logo. The social media platform has seen downloads fall since Elon Musk got rid of the iconic bird logo. The decision to rebrand the site was criticized by ex-Twitter employees, with one calling it "corporate seppuku." The app has changed its description on the app store from "Blaze your glory" to "Formerly Twitter," after the chaotic rebrand of the social media platform saw downloads of newly-christened X fall dramatically. Marketing experts slammed the rebrand as "completely irrational" and warned that it could wipe billions off the value of the social media platform.

These are what one psychologist termed “eminent orphans.”It’s easy to put Elon Musk into that category. He had no friends and lived in a world in which you either bullied or were bullied. But Isaacson’s account suggests that this is not the only or even the main impetus behind Musk’s extreme ambition. In the midst of that bleak childhood, Musk dived into science fiction, computer games and comics, and in some sense never left. In that world, Musk seems to have been gripped by a story just as fervently as a religious person is gripped by a holy book.

And Fox sources tell me that Wolff made no attempt to fact check his book with either Fox News or its parent company, Fox Corporation. With Fox News, where an author might be basing major claims using less-than-reliable sources, the risks are more pronounced, making such reporting efforts even more paramount.
