Elon Musk sued by Twitter shareholders over delay in disclosing stake

The platform’s shareholder has sued the SpaceX founder, alleging that by not disclosing his stake in the social media company soon enough, Musk kept Twitter’s share price down.

Marc Bain Rasella filed the lawsuit against Musk for alleged securities fraud in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, according to a Bloomberg report.

The suit alleges that Musk was required to disclose his stake in Twitter by March 24, but he did not until April 4.

Twitter shares rose 27% on April 4, to $49.97 from $39.31, after Musk disclosed his stake, which investors viewed as a vote of confidence from the world’s richest person in Twitter.

Former shareholders led by Marc Rasella said the delayed disclosure let Musk purchase more Twitter shares at lower prices while defrauding them into selling at “artificially deflated” prices. The lawsuit seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.

‘Now I’m pissed’: Secret Service agents outraged
by White House spin over First Dog bites

Secret Service agents were outraged last year by the White House’s attempt to downplay bite injuries caused by then-first dog Major — even trying to get President Biden to personally pay for a coat destroyed by then-first dog Major Biden, newly released documents show.

Secret Service leaders also sought to keep attack details out of official paperwork — at one point rejecting an agent’s “excessively detailed” account to avoid upsetting the first family — after Major bit agents on eight consecutive days.

The records, released in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit by Judicial Watch, show that attacks occurred both earlier and later than previously known.

They also show internal discord at the Secret Service, which has been embroiled since last week in a bizarre infiltration scandal that involves at least four agents.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki acknowledged just one biting incident at a briefing on March 9, 2021, saying that one day earlier “the first family’s younger dog, Major, was surprised by an unfamiliar person and reacted in a way that resulted in a minor injury to the individual.”

NJ man targeting Jews warned of ‘blood bath’ before attacking victims: prosecutors

An antisemitic New Jersey man went on a shocking hours-long crime spree targeting Hasidic Jews — having warned his family to expect “a blood bath,” according to police documents.

Dion Marsh, 27, was charged with three counts of attempted murder as well as bias intimidation for allegedly running down two men and stabbing another in the chest on Saturday, Ocean County prosecutors said.

The spree started with a violent carjacking in Lakewood Township just after 1 p.m. — and only ended nearly 10 hours later when he was arrested at home in Manchester, prosecutors said.

Two of his victims — including an Orthodox Jew who was stabbed — were listed in critical but stable condition, police said.

Marsh was identified after an anonymous citizen tipped off cops after recognizing him in security video of the carjacking, according to court documents obtained by NJ.com.

Brooklyn subway terror suspect Frank James
was ‘quiet and moody’ in group therapy

Accused subway terrorist Frank James was so “quiet and moody” that he scared an ex-con who attended group therapy sessions with him, the former jailbird said Wednesday.

Albert Wilder, 57, said he last saw James at the Argus Community headquarters in the Bronx about three months ago.

“He was sitting here and he was quiet and moody,” Wilder said.

“Y’know, when someone looks like they’re in the middle of something and you afraid to talk to them because they’re upset. That was him!”

Wilder, who said he goes to Argus Community as a condition of his release from prison for unspecified crimes, also described James as “a street person.”

“He frequents trains and buses,” Wilder said.

“He always between 219th and 230th street in the Bronx when I see him.”

James is suspected of opening fire on a subway car in Brooklyn during Tuesday’s morning rush, shooting and wounding 10 people and leaving another 19 injured.

James also blamed Mayor Eric Adams, saying during an extended rant, “Mr. Mayor, I’m a victim of your mental health program.”
