Elon Musk on Wednesday was cleared by a judge of wrongdoing in Tesla's 2016 purchase of SolarCity - a clean energy firm founded by his cousins. Musk, 50, was sued by Tesla shareholders over his decision to buy the struggling firm for $2.6 billion. They accused him of leaning on the board to buy the energy firm at a time when Musk's electric car firm was in a precarious financial position.  The shareholders were seeking $13 billion in damages. Yet on Wednesday a judge in Delaware ruled Musk did not unjustly enrich himself when he guided Tesla to acquire SolarCity Corp - a company founded in 2006 by his cousins Peter and Lyndon Rive, where Musk was chairman and the largest shareholder. SolarCity grew to have more than 15,000 employees at its peak in 2015, but slashed 22 per cent of its workforce the following year, as Musk bought the firm.  It has since been absorbed into the Tesla Energy brand, which raked in $801 million in 2021.   Musk's mother Maye and th...

The month-long saga of Twitter and Elon Musk has finally closed as Elon has eventually acquired the social media giant, Twitter. The story will be written in history books about how Elon went from being a shareholder to acquiring the entire company for himself. Sources reveal that Twitter has finally agreed to the deal, and Elon’s efforts never went in vain. Earlier this month, Elon backed down from his decision to join the company’s board of directors and instead decided to take the leap of faith. He offered to buy Twitter for $44 billion. From the rumors that Elon’s bid will never come out of the shadow to the company actually accepting the buyout, the journey was quite bumpy. The $44 billion deal will let Elon possess 100% of the company. The Twitter doors finally opened wide for Elon Musk.

The pro-European centrist Emmanuel Macron has vowed to unite a divided France after winning a second term as French president in a decisive victory against the far-right’s Marine Le Pen, who nonetheless won more than 13 million votes in a historic high for her anti-immigration party. Macron became the first French leader to win re-election for 20 years, scoring 58.54% to Le Pen’s 41.46%. Addressing a victory rally at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, where his supporters waved French and European flags, Macron vowed to respond “efficiently” to the “anger and disagreement” of voters who chose the far right. “I know that a number of French people have voted for me today, not to support my ideas but to stop the ideas of the far right,” he said and called on supporters to be “kind and respectful” to others, because the country was riven by “so much doubt, so much division”. He added: “I’m not the candidate of one camp any more, but the president of all of us.”  Macron beat...

We @edge have been pondering what drove the beloved Will Smith who was positioned and favourite for the night to win an oscar…Mad, because that’s the only word worthy of his action at the 94 Academy Award Ceremony where he proceeded to slap Chris Rock for a JOKE..... Please Click Play and share your thoughts, as we believe @jacethethinker captured it excellently:-    @jacethethinker  seems to be one the people speaking truth about Will Smith Criminal  act by assaulting another actor/comedian in front of the whole world and feeling macho (even though he looked like an unhinged asshole) about it because it was done to please or solicit some type of affection or respect from his partner Jada.   Courtesy:  @jacethethinker  

This bully called Will Smith took it upon himself after laughing at the joke to slap another man in a disgraceful shameful manner. He did not tender any apology at the time of the incident, even though he apologised to everybody else except Chris Rock. Now with mounting pressure and the fear that his most sort after possession that has been lobbying for years and finally won at the same night he assaulted Chris Rock might be taken away, he suddenly finds the words to some how apologise for his inexcusable behaviour. And for the fact he got a standing ovation after just slapping a colleague on National television is absurd and an act of cowardice from the entire audience. Will Smith should be stripped of his academy award he is a role model and should be made example of, to let everyone out there including our children and teenagers that bullying and assault of any kind because you don’t like a joke in not ok, its wrong and its a crime.  I call upon the Academy...

This Once upon a time (meaning as of yesterday) most believed celebrity has shocked the entire entertainment world with his brazen and narcissistic action he display at the 94th 2022 Oscars. The academy award ceremony started pretty fantastic with our Queen B stellar performance looking beautiful and graceful as ever.  This academy award was hosted by talented Chris Rock, who always is full of jokes and teases of one celebrity after another. This time it was Jada’s turn to be poke fun off, the joke which was quite cheesy and funny at the time that even Will Smith cackled at it only turn round a few second later walked up the stage and WHAM slaps Chris Rock….. I mean What The Fuck was that.  Watch the Video  We @edge are not sure if that was acting or a straight on assault but as news trickle in its looking more and more like a blatant disrespect to Chris Rock and h...

President Joe Biden called for regime change in Russia, saying in a speech in Poland that the country’s leader, Vladimir Putin, “cannot remain in power” after the Ukraine invasion.  Biden implored the world’s democracies to steel themselves for a protracted conflict with Putin’s government, his latest plea for allies to hold the line against an adversary he labeled a “butcher.” “We need to be clear-eyed: This battle will not be won in days and months,” Biden said in a forceful speech at Warsaw’s Royal Castle on Saturday, the conclusion of a trip to Europe to show allied unity against Moscow.  “We need to steel ourselves for the long fight ahead.”  But he also assured the Russian people that they are not the enemy of the U.S. and its allies. Earlier, Biden had an emotional visit with Ukrainian refugees that brought home the stakes of a conflict in which the U.S. has vowed its military won’t directly intervene. Yet Biden himself said the war may precipitate “World W...

Jeff Fortenberry, a Republican from Nebraska, lied to the FBI about taking illegal donations from Gilbert Chagoury, a high-flying Nigerian businessman, a federal jury found. He could be sentenced to 15 years in prison on three felony counts. The case has also renewed attention on the access of foreign influencers on US politics. It is illegal for foreign nationals to make political contributions, but Mr Chagoury, 75, has made several. In 2019, he was fined $1.8m (£1.4m) by the US government, and some recipients of his donations were investigated. In 2016, he illegally donated $30,000 (£22,736) in 2016 to Fortenberry, funnelling the funds to the congressman through donors at a Los Angeles event. A Paris-based industrialist, Mr Chagoury had a high profile. His name adorns a wing of the Louvre Museum, and he was once denied a US visa for alleged ties to Hezbollah militants. He was once a top advisor to Nigerian military ruler Sani Abacha, who was later found to have stolen billions ...
