Edge's News: Elon Musk sells another $1 billion in Tesla shares, nearing 10% target

Image
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has sold another 934,090 shares, or about $1.02 billion worth of his holdings, in his electric car and solar business according to financial filings published late Tuesday. Musk also exercised options to buy nearly 1.6 million Tesla shares at a strike price of $6.24 per share, granted to him via a 2012 compensation package. In exercising his options this quarter, Musk’s holdings in Tesla have increased from about 170.5 million shares to over 177 million shares, the Wall Street Journal first reported. Since Nov. 8, Musk has been on a selling spree, partly to pay his looming tax bills on those options. The celeb-CEO polled his tens of millions of Twitter followers in the first week of November asking if he should sell 10% of his stake in Tesla. They voted yes. But a major portion of the sales that followed the entertaining Twitter poll were part of a plan that Musk adopted in September this year. ...

Oil prices firmed on Monday, with Brent trading near $70 a barrel on growing optimism that fuel demand will grow in the next quarter, while investors looked ahead to see how producers will respond at this week’s OPEC+ meeting. Trading was thin as U.S. and UK markets were closed on Monday due to public holidays. Brent crude futures settled up 60 cents, or 0.9%, at $69.32 a barrel, off the a session high of $69.82. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose 0.9% and last traded at $66.91 a barrel. Both contracts were set for a second monthly gain. Analysts expect oil demand growth to outstrip supply despite the possible return of Iranian crude and condensate exports. “Despite the mobility restrictions that are still in place, oil demand is recovering dynamically around the world,” Commerzbank said. Iran has been in talks with world powers since April, working on steps that Tehran and Washington must take on sanctions and nuclear activities to return to full compliance with the 2015 nu...

Olori Naomi’s full post below: I bless the Lord almighty for His faithfulness in the last 3years of my marriage. In life’s journey, it isn’t how far. Still, how well, indeed though satan should buffet if trials should come, I have this blessed assurance controlling all situations and saying to me it is well with my soul. Certainly, it is well. I made my journey into the ancient throne of Ife with faith in my heart and love for the keeper of it. Few impressions I would love to correct. If anyone knows otherwise, they are free to come up with facts. Let it be known that this decision to move on did not come because his majesty is married to another queen. As many would love to assume, throughout our life as a couple, I was the only married wife to him. There were side attractions, but it was never an issue. I never approached him with any revelation of any sort, as many believed he contacted me first and made his proposal known several months later. The marriage was not an arrange...

Edge's News: President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better (BBB) Bill is in Hot Water……

Image
The Build Back Better bill appears to be doomed after Senator Joe Manchin announced Sunday he would not vote for President Biden and Democrats’ signature piece of legislation, a roughly $2 trillion package that would expand the social safety net and combat the climate crisis. Senator Joe Manchin Sen. Joe Manchin : “If I can’t go home and explain it to the people of West Virginia, I can’t vote for it. And I cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. I just can’t. I’ve tried everything humanly possible. I can’t get there.” The news prompted swift condemnation from Democrats, activists and the White House, which essentially accused the West Virginia conservative of lying. In a scathing statement, Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Manchin’s announcement “represent[s] a sudden and inexplicable reversal in his position, and a breach of his commitments to the President and the Senator’s colleagues in the House and Senate.”  Manchin reportedly refused to take a White House cal...
