| Happy Thursday, readers! It's Brett Molina counting down the days until Halloween and fighting hard not to eat the candy purchased for trick-or-treaters. |
| Let's start with Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX who paid a visit to the headquarters of what is likely his next acquisition: Twitter. |
| On Wednesday, Musk posted a video of himself walking into Twitter headquarters holding a sink with the tweet "let that sink in." He also changed the bio on his Twitter account to "Chief Twit." |
| Based on the account, it appears Musk is on track to meet the Friday deadline to close his $44 billion deal to buy Twitter, which he admitted is an overpay. |
| "Although obviously myself and other investors are overpaying for Twitter right now, the long-term potential for Twitter is an order of magnitude higher than its current value," said Musk during a Tesla earnings call earlier this month. |
What else happened in tech? |
| Apple confirms iPhone shift to USB-C. It looks like the end of the Lightning cable. |
| Streaming costs keep climbing. The price of Apple Music and Apple TV+ is going up. It's the latest example of overall streaming costs surging. |
| Bad news for Meta. Facebook's parent company reported weak earnings. |
Thursday tech tip |
| Traveling is sometimes stressful. You have to pack for your trip. You might have to wait a long time for your flight or train (or whichever mode of transport you use). Fortunately, there is plenty of tech to charge your devices and keep you comfy. |
One more thing |
| Before you panic because a loved one is playing too much Fortnite or another video game, something good may actually come out of all of that screen time. A new study found playing video games may bring cognitive benefits to kids. |
| That's a wrap this week. Thanks for reading. |
