Imagine that! Twitter can get you in trouble!
One tweet
cost Elon Musk his chairman job at Tesla and led to a $40M fine
Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk has settled a
lawsuit filed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). Though he admitted
no wrong-doing, the billionaire agreed to pay a $20 million fine and
step down as the company’s chairman for a three-year period for
using his personal Twitter account to announce he had the funding
secured to take Tesla private. The California-based
automaker also agreed to make leadership reforms and pay a $20
million fine for not vetting the information Musk writes on Twitter.
A wise friend once told me, “The fastest way to
riches is to invent a new sin!” Does this qualify?
Construction
of "Robot brothel' in Houston must clear city hurdle
The City of Houston ordered a Canadian company
called KinkySDollS to stop the construction of a so-called robot
brothel for not having the appropriate permit.
… To continue construction, the KinkySDollS
company will have to first "apply for a demolition permit and
submit plans," said a spokesperson from the mayor's office.
KinkySDollS is a firm from Toronto that opened the
first robot brothel in North America in an industrial area in the
North York neighborhood.
… The concept of the KinkySDollS adult
business is similar to a showroom where human-like dolls are
erotically displayed and can be rented to be used in private rooms at
the location by the hour or half hour. The dolls are made of
synthetic skin materials with highly articulated skeletons.
