a lovely picture of him on the front page. we can look inside. it is annoying if you buy something and you find out it is worth less later. spare a thought for the boss of twitter, elon musk who paid $41; billion for twitter in november last year. there is a suggestion this morning it could be worth less than half of that. according to internal documents giving staff share awards. that value instead at $20 billion. but elon musk is not too concerned. he said it represents a difficult and painful but clear path to a valuation of 250. so he has his sights set on something bigger. a lot of change it twitter and people unhappy with the direction it is taking. he has sacked a lot of
danger. as a player who was elected to play from iran who, his name is ali curry me, he has spoken out and said that he has actually had death threats issued against him for standing in solidarity with the protesters. he s currently living in dubai. so, whether they re successful, there s always a chance that the government was going to co-opt or success. and flip it into a message in their favor. but, i don t envy them. they re going home to very difficult situation. a society that s absolutely roiling. certainly is. i need to explain this for us. the games that stoppage time, nine minutes. it is trending on twitter long after the game. what is that all about? yeah, the chairman of the fifa referees committee. decided this year that they were going to keep very careful track of wonders time wasting, when tom was being squandered after a goal, sometimes it can take a minute, than half of the teams to get back to the halfway line to restart the match. and they decided they didn t wa
