Elon Musk enters Twitter HQ with sink in hand: 'Let that sink in!'
Share:Tesla CEO Elon Musk entered Twitter's headquarters Wednesday with a sink in hand as his deal to purchase the microblogging website nears completion.

Musk's entry into Twitter's headquarters comes as his $44 billion rapidly nears completion. Twitter, in turn, sued Musk to complete the acquisition, accusing the billionaire of using bots as a ploy to walk away from the takeover.

Where do we stand as a nation?
Even when India sent Abhinandan into our airspace, the nation was united against a foreign enemy. The American president has openly insulted Pakistan calling it the most dangerous nation in the world. Maybe we are the most dangerous nation, except we are a danger to ourselves only. The same could be true of Pakistan and those who claim to help it and stand up for it. For the overseas Pakistanis, this country is a giant hotel where they mostly come for vacation and to feel VIP.

How to revive the Pakistani economy?
I have studied the Pakistani economy for decades and written several books on the subject. In fact, the global economy is also under stress and it is not clear whether we are moving towards another recession. The presence of such a large number of people who were born outside the country was to have profound consequences for the development of the Pakistani economy and its political system. “I will not pay 140 Indian rupees for one hundred of Pakistani rupees,” said Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India’s Deputy Prime Minister. There were several other instances of outside help Pakistan received in developing its economy.

In response to another question, West also rejected the suggestion that the US needed Pakistan's airspace for operational access to Afghanistan. The US special representative stressed the need for continued diplomacy with the Taliban government to ensure that they kept their commitments to fight terrorism and provide rights to all Afghans. Referring to Pakistan, West said that not only Pakistan, but the entire Muslim world had an incredibly important and credible role in establishing a relationship with Afghans.

Dar’s latest stint
This indicated the markets’ recognition that Mr Dar’s main claim to fame was the defense of the rupee, and that he would take steps to bring it down. However, the rupee started rising. This cannot be reconciled to Mr Dar’s statement that a fair value is around 200. However, the market seems to have started rebounding from Rs 220, which indicates that Mr Dar’s analysis is incorrect. Mr Dar must resist the temptation of possibly using the country’s already meagre reserves.

Keti Bandar
Keti Bandar is a seaport with the potential to be a game-changer for the country as it could boost the national economy. In the past, Keti Bandar was renowned for its sizable crop fields and its successful poultry business. Compared to the capacity of the two other ports, Keti Bandar Port has the ability to accommodate significantly larger ships. Additionally, Keti Bandar requires development with assistance from foreign investors and through projects, like the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The only problem with Keti Bandar seems to be its location.
