A boost to a country's tourism industry can come in many shapes and forms. Bulgaria has just received a huge potential lift to its international profile thanks to a tweet from an unlikely source.

Elon Musk and His Tweet

According to an internal email seen by US media, Elon Musk has put Twitter's current value at 20 billion US dollars, less than half of the 44 billion he paid for the social media platform just five months ago.

Türkiye's competition watchdog said on March 6 it was fining Twitter owner Elon Musk for taking over the social media platform without first seeking the watchdog's permission.

The Turkish Competition board said the billionaire would be required to pay 0.1% of Twitter's gross revenues in Türkiye in 2022, without providing a figure for the fine.

Twitter boss Elon Musk announced in a series of tweets on Jan. 21 that the company's subscription service would show less advertising to users, including an ad-free tier.

The announcement comes as the social network has faced major economic uncertainty since its takeover by Musk in October.

 A nine-person jury was seated Tuesday to hear a trial that will determine whether Tesla CEO Elon Musk cheated investors by asserting in 2018 tweets that he had lined up financing to take the electric automaker private.

Elon Musk, the CEO of electric car giant Tesla, will face trial on Tuesday over allegedly manipulating the stock market with a tweet after a federal judge rejected his request to move the case out of California.    

The case dates back to August 2018 when Musk tweeted that he had sufficient funding to take Tesla private, causing a whirlwind in the company's share price.    

Tesla said it delivered 1.31 million electric vehicles in 2022, a record for the U.S. automaker and a 40 percent jump from a year earlier, but still below its own and Wall Street expectations.

The Elon Musk-led company has set a long-term goal of increasing its shipments by an average of 50 percent annually.
