The Tesla CEO is scheduled to speak Saturday as reports suggest his Twitter takeover is in \u201djeopardy\u201c<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not seeing a lot of concern about Musk and Twitter, outside of some clients that think he\u2019s an egomaniac and\/or a creep or weird guy,\u201dOne entertainment lawyer said that. \u201cI don\u2019t have a lot of clients that are personally regularly as active on Twitter anymore as they used to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
The $44 billion deal hit a speed bump as Musk\u2019s team have raised concerns regarding the amount of data sold to corporate customers and the volume of spam accounts active on the social media platform, the Post reported. As Parag Agrawal, the current CEO of Twitter, is also visiting Sun Valley, it must have created a consternation that has caused a unique atmosphere. To be a fly on that wall\u2026<\/p>\n

In May, StubHub\u2019s Adam Budelli <\/a> \u201cThis may be the busiest concert season on record.\u201d <\/p>\n However, not all live events are as welcoming since the COVID-related shut downs were lifted. Due to the pandemic, hybrid film festivals like Sundance and Toronto have been created with both digital and in-person access. The Cannes Film Festival\u2019s future as a relevant cultural epicenter appears to be waning rapidly<\/a>. As a result, people’s behavior has changed. A general one-two punch in convenience and pricing just before another possible recession could burst the happy bubble.<\/p>\n \u201cFor most clients, we\u2019re making plans assuming things will get worse on both the revenue and expense side, just to be safe,\u201dThe entertainment lawyer spoke of live events.<\/p>\n Skeptics point out that cost increases are a major concern. These include fuel and travel, as well as food and catering costs and salaries for crew and staff. COVID is still a major obstacle to the restoration of live events despite the relative recovery of daily life. \u201cconsistently back to normal,\u201dThey said. <\/p>\n The bottom line is: Enjoy the good times while it lasts. \u201cStranger Things\u201d-esque ticking clock<\/a>Industry leaders are omnipresent. <\/p>\n Shari Redstone\u2019s move to remerge Viacom and CBS in late 2019 into the recently rebranded Paramount Global was widely viewed as an effort to prepare the company for sale. Despite many years of speculation, however, no clear suitors have been identified and no deal is likely. <\/p>\nWhat\u2019s happening with Paramount Global?<\/h2>\n
