X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, announced a slate of new video shows, including a partnership with former CNN anchor Don Lemon. Lemon will host a 30-minute show on X called “The Don Lemon Show,” airing three times a week “exclusively first” on the platform.
X will also distribute new shows from Jim Rome, the sports-radio commentator and former ESPN star, and Tulsi Gabbard, a former US representative and presidential candidate. Rome's show will “stream exclusively on X, five days a week,” the company posted. Gabbard will distribute “an exclusive series of documentary style videos,” the company wrote.
San Francisco-based X didn't share financial details. The partnerships are aimed at adding legitimacy to X's renewed push into video, which has been a focus of owner Elon Musk. High-quality video content could also offer X more lucrative advertising opportunities.
Elon Musk's reported drug use has Tesla Inc. board members facing a familiar quandary: having to decide what, if anything, to do about the chief executive subjecting directors and shareholders alike to great financial and legal risk.
The Wall Street Journal's article describing Musk's history of recreational drug use and ongoing consumption of ketamine is the latest in a long line of tests for a board packed with the CEO's acolytes — several of whom agreed less than six months ago to return $735 million to settle a lawsuit alleging they had excessively compensated themselves.
Shareholders voiced dissatisfaction with the board last year over Tesla's succession planning, and accused Musk of being distracted by his commitments to other companies. His chaotic 2022 takeover of Twitter Inc., the social media company he's renamed X Corp., contributed to Tesla losing $672 billion in market capitalization that year.
Before that, directors rode out litigation related to Musk's doomed effort to take Tesla private in 2018, and his calling a cave explorer involved in the rescue of a youth soccer team in Thailand that year a pedophile. They also testified in proceedings related to the $55 billion compensation package they arranged for Musk in 2018, and in a trial challenging Tesla's $2.6 billion acquisition of SolarCity, the struggling power provider run by Musk's cousins.
The report by the Journal — which said Musk has used LSD, cocaine, ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms, often at private parties — isn't even the Tesla board's first brush with drug-related issues. Weeks after the New York Times reported in August 2018 that directors had expressed concern about Musk's use of Ambien, he puffed a blunt containing marijuana on comedian Joe Rogan's podcast.
Tesla's board took minimal action in the wake of those episodes. It replaced Musk as

Starfield is switching up some of its lighting effects, as evidenced in a new video showing overall improvements to the game's graphics. The changes are a part of the recent Steam Beta, where developer Bethesda Game Studios is working on over 100 improvements for update 1.9.47.0 of Starfield.
Ever since he took over X (formerly Twitter), billionaire Elon Musk has implemented a myriad of changes on the microblogging platform. It started with mass layoffs which saw the reduction in over 80 percent of X's workforce. Then, Musk stopped legacy verification and brought out Twitter Blue, following which Larry the Bird was phased out and Twitter was officially rebranded to X. All these changes have been introduced in a bid to make it a super app that can compete with China's WeChat, offering services such as audio, video, messaging, and potentially payments and banking. However, that isn't attracting advertisers on the platform, even though X's latest move involves becoming a “video-first platform”. Know all about it.

NASA, with the help of its advanced space and ground-based telescopes, has recently tracked an asteroid that is set to pass Earth at very close quarters today, January 6, and the US space agency has shed light on details such as its speed, distance of approach, and more. Apart from posing a threat to Earth, asteroids can also provide valuable resources such as water, metals, and other minerals. In fact, it is surmised that water was brought to Earth by asteroids and comets over a period in excess of millions of years. Research on asteroids is critical since it can provide valuable information on the early stages of the solar system and planetary development. Know all about the asteroid that is set to pass Earth in the coming days.
