Officials within the Biden administration are discussing whether some of Elon Musk’s business ventures should be subjected to national security reviews, including his takeover bid for Twitter and the operation of his Starlink network of satellites, Bloomberg reported late Thursday.

US officials are uncomfortable with Musk’s suggestion that he will stop supplying the Starlink satellite service to war-torn Ukraine — an endeavor that he says has cost him $80 million, the news outlet reported. A series of tweets with an increasing Russia-friendly position in the ongoing war with Ukraine has also raised concerns, people described as familiar with the matter told Bloomberg. particularly concerning are his plans to buy Twitter with a group of foreign investors.

While discussions are still at an early stage, one possibility the US government and intelligence community have to reviewing Musk’s business ventures is through the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, a secretive government panel that reviews mergers that could result in a foreign company controlling an American business. A CFUIS review is often enough to quash a deal.

A review of Musk’s $44 billion deal for Twitter could be triggered by the involvement of foreign investors, which reportedly includes Prince Alwaleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia, Binance — a cryptocurrency exchange founded and run by a Chinese Canadian business executive — and Qatar’s sovereign wealth funds.

Musk, the world’s richest person, has taken to Twitter in recent weeks to suggest proposals favorable to Russian President Vladimir Putin to ending Russia’s war

A burst of tweets from women who, as children, modeled for relaxer brands is one of the latest instances of the Black Twitter community finding an unexpected connection and reminiscing over a shared experience.

The discussion kicked off after @prettiestluxury tweeted a collage of models who posed on a box of no-lye relaxer saying, “I remember wanting to be the face of a hair relaxer so bad.” That was followed by a quote tweet asking these women to “show themselves,” which became the centerpiece of a wider trend.

Jaelyn Evanswho was a model on ORS’ Olive Oil Girls No-Lye Relaxer box, said that she has since gone natural. Nomsa Sasa Madidaa makeup artist, also posted a photo update on Twitter showing prominent braids that she’s now wearing long after posing for a relaxer brand.
