Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed a 9.2% stake in Twitter. He has bought approximately 73.5 million shares, according to a filing on Monday. Twitter’s stock surged over 25% before the market opened on Monday.

Musk’s stake in Twitter is considered a passive investment, which means Musk is a long-term investor. “We would expect this passive stake as just the start of broader conversations with the Twitter management that could ultimately lead to an active stake and a potential more aggressive ownership role of Twitter,” Dan Ives of WedBush Securities said. — AP

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
