Big Apple News, Snap’s and Elon’s, Too 10/21/22
NYC Mayor Eric Adams shares his plans for a “unified” solution to subway and street violence in New York, including a summit on public safety and criminal justice this weekend. The leader of the nation’s largest city discusses the challenges facing his leadership: New Yorkers’ safety anxiety, the thousands of asylum seekers who have arrived in the city as well as encouraging office workers to return to pre-pandemic commutes. After Elon Musk’s tweets about Russia and Ukraine, the Biden administration is reportedly considering putting the Tesla CEO and his businesses under national security reviews. Musk also made waves by telling investors he plans to layoff 75% of Twitter’s workforce if he takes ownership of the social media platform. Plus, Snap’s stock keeps sliding, and TikTok is denying a report that the platform’s parent has used data to track the physical location of users. And, cheese is delicious!
