Explained: How Elon Musk is trying to avoid paying $122 million severance to Parag & other fired Twitter execs

Image
One of the first things that Elon Musk did after taking over Twitter was to fire its top brass. This included CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal and General Counsel Vijaya Gadde and a number of other executives. Furthermore, several reports have emerged that he plans on terminating a number of other people before November 1, so that he can avoid giving stock grants that are due to all employees of Twitter, on November 1. When Parag was made CEO, he was replacing Jack Dorsey, the founder & CEO of Twitter at that point. Parag’s contract stipulated that Agrawal is entitled to get $42 million from Twitter if he were terminated within 12 months of a change in control as a severance package, some component in the form of a bonus, and all of his wages that were accrued to him. Similarly, other top executives who were to be fired were owed some handsome severance packages. All in all, just the executives who were terminated were supposed to receive about $122 million as severance. Howev

Racial slurs on Twitter increased by 500 per cent after Elon Musk took over, platform blames trolling campaign

Image
Elon Musk finally took control of Twitter last week after buying it for a record $44 billion, one of the highest amounts anyone has ever paid in a tech acquisition. When Elon made the original offer to buy Twitter, Musk said that he is a free-speech absolutist . Musk and his fans had positioned him as an entity that would safeguard free speech at all costs. Well, it turns out, people really put that theory to the test. As per a report by The Washington Post, the use of certain derogatory epithets for African-Americans, Jews, and East Asians increased by up to 500 per cent on the platform, once news broke of Elon Musk taking over Twitter and firing most of its executive command, including CEO Parag Agarwal . The Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), a research group based out of Princeton, that analyzes social media content to predict emerging threats, said that the use of the N-word on Twitter increased by nearly 500 per cent in the 12 hours immediately after Musk’s deal was

How Parag Agrawal forced Elon Musk to buy Twitter and walked away with $42 million after getting fired

Image
After months of speculation of will he-wont he, Elon Musk finally closed the deal with Twitter and acquired the microblogging site. His first order of business was to clean house – his first act as the owner of Twitter , was to sack some of the top executives of the platform. This included CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal and General Counsel Vijaya Gadde. In all of this drama, it seems Parag has emerged as the real hero, at least for Twitter and the people working there. It would be wise to remember that had it not been for Agrawal and his team, Elon Musk would have walked away from the deal , having tanked Twitter’s stock valuation. Agrawal himself is walking away with a severance package that may be well over $42 million, just like other top executives who were fired. Reaslitcaly, there is no reason to feel bad for Agrawal and other top executives who were sacked.

Newly appointed ‘Chief Twit’ Elon Musk opens up about the real reason why he bought, but to advertisers

After months of going back and forth, and calling each other all sorts of names, Elon Musk and Twitter have finally signed the deal to complete Twitter’s acquisition. Musk now officially owns the micro-blogging site. However, one question that a lot of people have and still haven’t gotten an answer to, is why. Why did Elon Musk, really buy Twitter? People close to the ‘technoking’ have often revealed that Twitter will be the stepping stone upon which Musk will create his “everything” app or a super platform called ‘X.com.’ While that may be true, Musk did not really need to acquire the platform to create his own super app.  Elon Musk, soon after taking over Twitter , put out a Tweet, clarifying why exactly he bought Twitter, in the manner in which he did. One thing to note is that more than the users of the platform, Musk addressed the people, who he thinks really matter – the advertisers.

NASA plans on testing crash landing space module on Mars to make inter-planetary exploration cheaper

NASA as well as a number of other space agencies have had many successful missions to Mars, and are currently exploring the Martian surface for a number of reasons. All in all, NASA themselves have landed on Mars about 9 times so far.

NASA is currently testing out an entirely new way to land on the surface of Mars and other similar planets, in which, instead of going for a soft landing, they plan to crash land their vehicles. The American space agency had just successfully conducted their DART mission , in which they crashed a basic satellite into the Didymos moon of the Dimorphos mini asteroid. NASA plans to take a similar approach with their latest experiment, but this time around, the objective is to ensure minimal damage to the crash-landing spacecraft .

WhatsApp goes down in a number of areas around the globe, users can’t access group chats or WhatsApp Web

WhatsApp, the Meta-owned instant messaging service has apparently suffered a major disruption with most of its services having being rendered inaccessible to its users.  Apparently, WhatsApp’s services such as Group Chats and WhatsApp Web have been hit worldwide, whereas regular chats have been hit only in certain portions of the world, including India. As of now, there is no clear reason as to why certain selective services of WhatsApp would be out of order, and not the entire platform. However, people have been speculating, that this may be because of the increased exchange of messages and media because of Diwali, or the outage may be due to the partial solar eclipse that is supposed to take place today. Both of these speculations, however, should be taken with a massive grain of salt. WhatsApp has more than enough bandwidth to withstand sudden spikes in traffic.

Apple has enabled one of the most promising charging features on its latest iPhones and certain older models of the iPhone, if they have updated to the most recent version of iOS, i.e. iOS 16.1. Called Clean Energy Charging, the new system, ideally, should be the next big thing in charging technology. Over the last couple of years, battery charging technology, especially in smartphones has gone insane. We moved from 33W fast charging as the industry to 45W-60W in no time. We even have cell phones that go upto 150W of fast charging. While having a quick chrarging time is good, in the pursuit of speed, tech companies have completely ignored efficiency and just how wasteful certain charging methodologies can be. What is Apple’s Clean Energy Charging? Apple’s Clean Energy Charging feature aims to “reduce a user’s carbon footprint” by charging when lower carbon-emission electricity is available. Basically, what the new feature does, is that when it is enabled on an iPhone, the device ge

After going through all the drama between Elon Musk and his team, and Twitter, it turns out that it may be the US government who has the final say in the Elon Musk-Twitter deal. After going back and forth a number of times over his proposal to buy Twitter for $44 billion, Elon Musk finally committed to his plan and stated that he will indeed buy Twitter for the agreed-upon amount. The issue is, that Musk, at least according to several trade analysts is overpaying for Twitter if he buys the company for the agreed-upon $44 billion mark.  Superficially, Musk has maintained that if he buys Twitter, it would be hugely beneficial for his goal of launching a super app or his own social media platform, called X.com . However, Musk has also indicated very subtly that he does not want to buy Twitter, not for the price of $44 billion at least.

The iPhone 14 Plus is such a huge flop, that Apple has decided to stop its production

Apple launched the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus early in September this year . After barely a month, Apple has decided that it will start phasing out the production of the iPhone 14 Plus, and then stop it completely. Tech analysts and Apple fans had expected that the iPhone 14 Plus wouldn’t perform to the level that Apple was expecting it to.

Similarly, the iPhone 14 Plus, which was dubbed as the iPhone 14 Max by the tech community before it was launched, has gone the same way.  In case of the iPhone 13 Mini, the issue was the diminutive size of the device.

Apple will release a foldable iPad worth $2,300-2,500, by 2024, before they launch a foldable iPhone

Image
Tech enthusiasts and fans of Apple have been waiting for the tech company to finally enter the foldable devices market and launch the foldable iPhone. Apple, on the other hand, wants to get the foldable iPhone just right and hence is taking its time to make one. Now, certain reports claim that we might actually get a foldable iPad before we get the foldable iPhone. As per marketing research firm CCS Insight’s annual predictions report, Apple would be keen to avoid any technical issues with a folding phone and instead prefer to dip its toes into the foldable market through a tablet. The main reason behind this could be the fact that a folding iPhone would be risky for Apple as it may downgrade the sales of the conventional iPhone, one of Apple’s most profitable devices. There are reports that Apple is in talks with LG to develop an ultra-thin cover glass for its entire range of foldable devices. Rumours from reputable Apple tipsters have suggested that in 2024, Apple will launch a

YouTube stops its experiment of limiting 4K video playback for premium users only

Earlier this month, YouTube started an experiment to see how users on the platform would respond if they limited 4K video playback only for paying premium users. A few weeks before that, YouTube was experimenting with showing at least 5 and up to 10 unskippable ads at the start of a video. YouTube and a number of online platforms have hit a saturation point in terms of growth and is looking for different ways to increase their profits and revenue.

Google Pixel 7 series are the first Android phones to support 64-bit apps, won't be able to run 32-bit apps

Image
Google’s recently launched Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are the first smartphones that support 64-bit apps. This is a huge deal, considering that modern mobile SoCs are developed on 64-bit architecture, and will therefore run these apps more efficiently, at least in theory. However, the downside is that devices like the Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro , which support 64-bit apps, are not able to work with 32-bit versions of these apps. For years now, Google has been working towards a future where Android would become a 64-bit operating system instead of one that still supports 32-bit software. A 64-bit operating system can access many more memory addresses, which leads to improvements on both security, but more importantly performance. As mentioned earlier, it also drastically improves efficiency.  Android started supporting 64-bit apps in 2011, when they launched Android 5. However, Google never mandated app developers to submit a 64-bit version of their apps back then. In 2019, however, Go

The newest offering from their lineup, the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro (2nd Gen), which was recently launched in India is surely going to make it clear to everyone why Lenovo has a stronghold over the Android tablet market, especially in India. Android tablets tend to be a hit or a miss. In most cases, manufacturers don’t really get that users in India, often use tablets as a substitute for a laptop. Hence, performance is given a very high priority. Thankfully, Lenovo understands that. Perhaps that is wh
