As the future of Twitter is at stake, the social media giant said the notion Elon Musk was "hoodwinked" into inking a $44 billion buyout deal defies reason and the facts.
In a filing, Twitter rejected counter claims made by Musk as he fights to walk away from the deal he inked in April to buy the San Francisco-based company.
The company accused Musk of contriving a story to escape a merger agreement that he no longer found attractive.
The Tesla boss wooed Twitter's board with a $54.20 per-share offer, but then in July announced he was ending their agreement because the firm had misled him regarding its tally of fake and spam accounts. 

Elon Musk making up excuses to breach twitter deal? 

Twitter calls Musk’s reasoning “a story, imagined in an effort to escape a merger agreement that Musk no longer found attractive.”

Musk also accused Twitter of breaching their agreement by &ldquo;stonewalling&rdquo; his information requests

It is a battle of a bungled buyout, bots and with billions at stake. As the future of Twitter's sale remains in limbo, the social media giant dismissed the notion the world's richest man Elon Musk was "hoodwinked" into inking a $44 billion buyout deal.&nbsp;
In a filing, Twitter rejected counter claims made by Musk as he fights to walk away from the deal he inked in April. In a court filing, Twitter calls Musk&rsquo;s reasoning &ldquo;a story, imagined in an effort to escape a merger agreement that Musk no longer found attractive.&rdquo;
The Tesla boss wooed Twitter's board with a $54.20 per-share offer, but then in July announced he was ending their agreement because the firm had misled him regarding its tally of fake and spam accounts.&nbsp; The fate of that acquisition, which Musk agreed to without taking the time to examine the details of Twitter&rsquo;s business, now rests with a Delaware court where Twitter sued to force Musk to complete the deal. The case is scheduled to go to trial on October 17. &nbsp;

After partnership with luxury maisons like Valentino, Manish Malhotra and Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla, Mukesh Ambani-backed Reliance Industries is in another effort to make luxury fashion accessible by bringing Spanish luxury house Balenciaga to India by 2023.

The images of the same were shared on the official Instagram account of Sahib Singh. In the caption, it was mentioned that "being part of the Burberry Bear autumn winter '22 campaign is incredible and to be the first patka wearing model for the biggest British brand is just an amazing achievement for our little 4-year-old and the Sikh community."
<h3>What is patka?&nbsp;</h3>
Patka holds traditional value as it is worn by Sikh boys before they start wearing the pagri, which is also known as a turban.&nbsp;
Burberry has been drawing praise on social media. Several users praised the brand for representing the Sikh community and promoting inclusivity and diversity.

In the latest twist from the Twitter tales, a big win coming for the platform as they got court approval to fast-track the case against Elon Musk to make him complete the $44 billion buyout.A set back for the Technoking at Tesla as his lawyers argued that the expedited timeline was far too aggressive as they will now face an expedited 5-day trial set to begin in October. Twitter whose shares have fallen 22% since Musk backed out of the deal is trying to legally enforce the $44 billion buyout o the world's richest man. After three months of a very public display of crossfire with Twitter, Musk seemed to have buyers remorse as he cancelled his plans just as fast as he seemed to have decided on them. Musk pinned the blame on Twitter as his lawyers stated the site underreported the number of spam and fraud accounts on its messaging service and failed to send Musk information that could presumably help the executive better calculate those statistics.

It is definitely the final leg for Work From Home (WFH) era, with tech giants such as Apple also calling employees back to office as early as next month. The news marks the start of Apple’s much delayed hybrid work model, which was announced in June 2021.After delaying the deadline in May Apple has set a Sept. 5 deadline for corporate employees to be in the office at least three days a week. September also marks one of the heaviest months in the calendar for the Cupertino, California-based tech giant that is looking to launch the iPhone 14 at its next event. Below is the memo from Tim Cook to Apple employees as published by tech journals: 
Team,
The early ramp-in phase of our hybrid work pilot has been a great opportunity to come together, reconnect with our teams, and meet new colleagues in person. This has been a transition for many of us as we’ve navigated changing case rates in many parts of the world, so thank you for your teamwork and professionalism as we continue moving forward.
I’m writing to you today with two updates, one about changes we’re making to our hybrid pilot, the other about its timing.
When we announced the pilot a year ago, we said it would be a learning experience for us all. And we committed ourselves to adapting along the way to create a flexible environment that enables our teams to thrive. Based on the feedback and insights we’ve received from you and your managers, we are making the following adjustment:
Teams participating in the pilot will come to the office three days each week with Tuesday and Thursday as set days across the company, but now the third day you come in will be decided by your teams. Each team will work through the decision about which day is right for them, and you’ll hear from your leaders soon. As before, many employees will have the option of working remotely two days a week. Depending on your role, you will also have the option to work remotely for up to four weeks a year.
We are excited to move forward with the pilot and believe that this revised framework will enhance our ability to work flexibly, while preserving the in-person collaboration that is so essential to our culture. We also know that we still have a lot to learn. And we are committed to listening, adapting, and growing together in the weeks and months ahead.
In terms of timing, many locations around the world are in different phases and you will hear more details shortly. For Santa Clara Valley, we plan to begin our new adjusted pilot with all employees in the office three days beginning the week of September 5th.
In the near term, we will continue to navigate the pandemic together as the situation evolves. We are monitoring the data closely and you will continue to receive updates on health and safety protocols for your location as necessary from our COVID-19 Response Team. In the meantime, it’s encouraging that children under five years old are now eligible for vaccination in many countries, and I urge anyone who is able to get a vaccine or a booster to do so if you haven’t already.
As we continue on this journey, I want to say how grateful I am for everything you do. I’ve never been more excited about the opportunities that lie ahead, the impact we can have on the lives we touch, and the outstanding team that makes it all possible. I look forward to working with you to create a flexible environment at Apple where, together, we can make an even greater difference in the lives of our users around the world.

Team,
The early ramp-in phase of our hybrid work pilot has been a great opportunity to come together, reconnect with our teams, and meet new colleagues in person. This has been a transition for many of us as we&rsquo;ve navigated changing case rates in many parts of the world, so thank you for your teamwork and professionalism as we continue moving forward.
I&rsquo;m writing to you today with two updates, one about changes we&rsquo;re making to our hybrid pilot, the other about its timing.
When we announced the pilot a year ago, we said it would be a learning experience for us all. And we committed ourselves to adapting along the way to create a flexible environment that enables our teams to thrive. Based on the feedback and insights we&rsquo;ve received from you and your managers, we are making the following adjustment:
Teams participating in the pilot will come to the office three days each week with Tuesday and Thursday as set days across the company, but now the third day you come in will be decided by your teams. Each team will work through the decision about which day is right for them, and you&rsquo;ll hear from your leaders soon. As before, many employees will have the option of working remotely two days a week. Depending on your role, you will also have the option to work remotely for up to four weeks a year.
We are excited to move forward with the pilot and believe that this revised framework will enhance our ability to work flexibly, while preserving the in-person collaboration that is so essential to our culture. We also know that we still have a lot to learn. And we are committed to listening, adapting, and growing together in the weeks and months ahead.
In terms of timing, many locations around the world are in different phases and you will hear more details shortly. For Santa Clara Valley, we plan to begin our new adjusted pilot with all employees in the office three days beginning the week of September 5th.
In the near term, we will continue to navigate the pandemic together as the situation evolves. We are monitoring the data closely and you will continue to receive updates on health and safety protocols for your location as necessary from our COVID-19 Response Team. In the meantime, it&rsquo;s encouraging that children under five years old are now eligible for vaccination in many countries, and I urge anyone who is able to get a vaccine or a booster to do so if you haven&rsquo;t already.
As we continue on this journey, I want to say how grateful I am for everything you do. I&rsquo;ve never been more excited about the opportunities that lie ahead, the impact we can have on the lives we touch, and the outstanding team that makes it all possible. I look forward to working with you to create a flexible environment at Apple where, together, we can make an even greater difference in the lives of our users around the world.

Loans get more expesive, India's largest bank, the State Bank of India (SBI) raised its benchmark lending rates by up to 50 basis points (or 0.5 per cent), a move that will lead to an increase in EMIs for borrowers.
The increase in lending rate comes days after the Reserve Bank of India hiked its benchmark lending rate by 50 basis points to tame inflation.
External Benchmark based Lending Rate (EBLR) and Repo-Linked Lending Rate (RLLR) have been raised by 50 basis points while the hike in Marginal Cost of funds-based Lending Rate (MCLR) is 20 basis points across all tenure.
The revised rates are effective from August 15, as per the information posted on SBI website.
SBI's EBLR rose to 8.05 per cent and RLLR increased by similar 50 basis points to 7.65 per cent.
Banks add Credit Risk Premium (CRP) over the EBLR and RLLR while giving any kind of loan, including housing and auto loans.
With the revision, one-year MCLR has increased to 7.70 per cent, from the earlier 7.50 per cent, while for two years it rose to 7.90 per cent and for three years to 8 per cent.
Most of the loans are linked to the one-year MCLR rate.The overnight to three-month SBI MCLR rate has been hiked to 7.35%, from 7.15%. The SBI six-month MCLR goes up to 7.65% from 7.45%, one-year to 7.7%, from 7.5%, two-year to 7.9% from 7.7% and three-year to 8% from 7.8%.
With the increase in lending rate, EMIs will go up for those borrowers who have availed loans on MCLR, EBLR or RLLR.
From October 1, 2019, all banks including SBI have migrated to an interest rate linked to an external benchmark such as RBI's repo rate or Treasury Bill yield. As a result, monetary policy transmission by banks has gained traction.
