Amazon is ramping up ad spending on Elon Musk’s X, according to people familiar with the situation, a major shift after pulling much of its advertising more than a year ago, a time when many brands had concerns about hate speech on the platform.

Federal agencies have offered exits to millions of employees and tested the prowess of engineers — just like when Elon Musk bought Twitter. The similarities have been uncanny.

While that office may be ready to go to work, the FAA itself is not fully on the job. That’s because it’s without an administrator. Michael Whitaker, who had led the administration since Oct., 2023, stepped down earlier this month,

NEW YORK (AP) — X is teaming up with Visa to soon offer a system for real-time payments on the social media platform — signaling some progress in a yearslong vision from billionaire owner Elon Musk to create an “everything app.”

X has inked a partnership with Visa as the Elon Musk-owned social media platform seeks to become an “everything" app that offers peer-to-peer payments and other capabilities.

The social media company said it would start a peer-to-peer payments service, moving to expand the app’s abilities.
