Quick Glance: Elon Musk Takes Over Twitter and Causes Chaos
  • Elon Musk has negatively impacted Twitter in many ways - for users, advertisers, the internet at large, and potentially even for democracy.

  • Musk now offers an imprecisely defined revenue-sharing model for larger accounts, allowing them to earn money from ad impressions around their posts.

  • The For You Feed, X's algorithmic fire hose that shows you posts it believes you'll like instead of posts you explicitly want to see, is actually quite good.

  • It helps me avoid posts that I might actually like.

Quick Glance: Ford Cuts Jobs, Investments for Marshall EV Battery Plant
  • Ford is reducing its commitment to a planned electric vehicle battery facility in the Marshall area by 800 jobs and over $1 billion, resulting in a 40% reduction in the plant's production capacity.

  • This announcement marks a significant departure from the previously promised 2,500 jobs and $3.5 billion investment by Ford and Governor Gretchen Whitmer earlier this year.

  • A Ford spokesperson, Mark Truby, admitted that the company's cuts will likely lead to the state reducing the approximately $1.8 billion in taxpayer subsidies for the megadevelopment.

  • Truby stated that Ford originally anticipated the facility would produce 35 gigawatt hours worth of batteries annually, enough to equip about 400,000 vehicles.
