Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, will spend $44 billion by the end of the month to buy Twitter (NYSE:TWTR), even though he tried to back out of the deal at first.

Last month, Google (GOOGL) decided to put the software Parler back in its Play Store. Google said at the time that Parler had agreed to change its app so that content could be moderated and posts that might encourage violence could be taken down.
