'A lot of that stuff is just a cesspool of misinformation, and I don't waste a minute worrying about it,' Fauci said of attacks from Elon Musk on Twitter. The latest:
Tesla stocks were down on Monday at about $170 per share, which was about half the value of Tesla stocks this same time last year. The stock's highest value of 2022 was recorded during the first week of the year.
The stock has steadily declined since mid-September. While investors who shorted the stock lost more than $10 billion last year, investors who did the same in 2022 won back about $11.5 billion, according to CNN Business. Recent polling has suggested that certain activities of Tesla CEO Elon Musk could be impacting the stock's performance and overall confidence in the company. According to one Morning Consult survey, the net favorability of three companies Musk now controls—Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter—dropped last month. Morning Consult wrote that Musk's purchase of Twitter, which became official in late October,"has had a deeply politically polarizing effect" on the social media platform that"rippled into his other companies," including Tesla. Another poll conducted by YouGov found Tesla's approval rating dropped into the negatives in early November.A Stanford professor who says he was placed on a Twitter"blacklist" last year was invited to visit the social media platform's headquarters over the weekend to learn more about the restrictions he says were placed on his account.Bhattacharya said he learned that his account was added to the blacklist the day he created a Twitter account in August 2021. The platform also did not allow Bhattacharya's account to be verified, he said. "It will take some time to find out more about what led Twitter 1.0 to act so imperiously," Bhattacharya said in a Sunday Twitter thread, adding that he is"grateful" to Musk"who has promised access to help find out." "I will report the results on Twitter 2.0, where transparency and free speech rule," Bhattacharya said.to find out more about the trend "blacklist" that twitter placed on me & more. A short thread on what I found out follows.Bhattacharya's name was mentioned during a second release of the"Twitter files," which Musk and reporter Matt Taibbi launched last week. The second report that involved Bhattacharya was posted online by Bari Weiss, the founder of The Free Press, whose report focused on Twitter's"secret blacklists." Weiss reported that Twitter employees created the lists to limit the spread of some content on the platform. She gave Bhattacharya's account as one example of an account that reportedly appeared on these lists due to a tweet he posted about the impacts of coronavirus lockdowns on children. Bhattacharya told News Nation last week that he was"shocked" when he learned his account was on a Twitter blacklist. He said he first joined Twitter"mainly to share scientific data and my thoughts about school openings" and"the harms to children from lockdown."The head of NASA is reportedly worried that Elon Musk's Twitter antics will impact the success of his Space X program. After a news conference Sunday following the the successful Artemis I mission, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson that he asked SpaceX President and CEO Gwynne Shotwell if Musk's Twitter"distraction" will affect the spacecraft manufacturer. "Tell me that the distraction that Elon might have on Twitter is not going to affect SpaceX," Nelson, said he asked Shotwell."I assure you, it is not," she responded, according to Nelson."You have nothing to worry about." Nelson said he spoke with Shotwell last weekend and left the meeting smiling because he knows Shotwell, not Musk, is running Space X. "I hugged her with a smile on my face, because I know she is running that thing. She's running SpaceX," he said, adding that he does not have concerns about Space X. After the briefing, Administrator Bill Nelson told me that he spoke with SpaceX's Gwynne Shotwell last weekend. He asked if Twitter/Musk was going to be a distraction to SpaceX and its commitments to NASA. "She said to me in no uncertain terms, 'I assure you it is not.'"
