The billionaire said Twitter had restored the account of the rapper, now known as Ye, before the completion of the social media platform's $44 billion takeover late on Thursday. loadingYe, who has over 30 million followers on Twitter, has courted controversy in recent months by publicly ending major corporate tie-ups and making outbursts on social media against other celebrities.

Oct 26 (Reuters) - Twitter Inc's stock (TWTR.N) inched closer to Elon Musk's $54.20 per share buyout offer for the micro-blogging site on Wednesday, in a sign that investors are finally expecting the deal to go through ahead of a court deadline at the end of this week. Shares of the social media company were last up 0.5% at a near seven-month high of $53.05 in premarket trading, the closest they have come to Musk's offer since it was announced in mid-April. Twitter shares dropped as low as $32.50 in July. Earlier this month, Musk proposed to proceed with his original $44 billion bid, calling for an end to a lawsuit by the social media company that could have forced him to pay up, sending Twitter shares 24% higher.

☆ I started a tourism blog that brought in more than $200,000 in passive income last year. Here's how I did it.

For the first time since we began, the site began paying for itself. And for that, we needed more site traffic. When major area attractions closed for the post-holiday winter season, our site traffic plummeted, as did our revenue. This allowed us to integrate blog work into our regular work weeks instead of treating it like a side hustle. Whether or not we will simply continue to scale back our day jobs or pivot to solely blog income in the future remains to be seen.
