Elon Musk put new limits on tweets. Users and advertisers might go elsewhere

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:31:18 GMT

TikTok and Instagram users can scroll with abandon. But Twitter owner Elon Musk has put new curfews on his digital town square, the latest drastic change to the social media platform that could further drive away advertisers and undermine its cultural influence as a trendsetter.Keeping up with a sports game, extreme weather conditions or a major news event is getting harder under Musk’s new rules, which cap the number of tweets you can view as part of an apparent attempt to relieve the company’s overloaded web infrastructure.“The joke on Twitter is that people are going to go outside instead, but the reality is that they’re going to go to another app,” said Jasmine Enberg, an analyst with Insider Intelligence. “By sending users elsewhere, Musk is killing the main proposition Twitter has had for advertisers — a highly engaged user base, especially around news and events.”Musk recently hired longtime NBC Universal executive Linda Yaccarino as Twitter’s CEO to try to win back advertise...

Tesla shares accelerate toward $300 on spike in deliveries and charging deal with major automakers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:31:18 GMT

Tesla is roaring back from a dismal 2022 as company shares, which have already doubled this year, were driven higher Monday by a spike in second-quarter deliveries. Shares jumped 7% to a new high for 2023 after the electric car maker said its deliveries in the most recent quarter rose 83% compared with the same period last year. Tesla cut prices several times on its four electric vehicle models and buyers took advantage of U.S. government tax credits.Tesla was pummeled in 2022, pushing shares down nearly 70%. Shares were in decline for most of the year and went into a near freefall after Tesla CEO Elon Musk acquired Twitter in a $44 billion deal. Musk’s takeover at Twitter has been anything but smooth and a myriad of issues have continued to turn off users and advertisers. Musk on Friday said the company would limit the number of tweets users could see in a day, angering users and most certainly not winning over advertisers who rely on views when paying for advertising on the ...

DeAngelo was a healthy sc...

Some pandemic beach house buyers are now already sellers

In 2020, travel was restricted by the pandemic, and many people could work from anywhere. For those who could afford it, a close-by second home on the Maryland and Delaware shores looked like a good investment for short-term rental income and as a work-from-anywhere remote option.As a result, inventory for sale in those vacation destinations, and others around the country, got extremely tight, sales began happening much more quickly and prices rose dramatically.Fast forward three years and the market has shifted.In May, listing service Bright MLS says almost one-third of homes that sold in the Mid-Atlantic were second-home and investment properties.“We saw some people who purchased second-homes or vacation homes during the pandemic, and thought they would be able to use it a lot because they were working from home,” said Lisa Sturtevant, chief economist at Bright MLS. “But now as more employers are calling people back to the office, they are taking the opportunity to lis...
