The SEC has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk, alleging the billionaire underpaid for his shares of Twitter by at least $150 million. In big tech, Microsoft is cutting back on spending, and Meta will lay off 5% of its workforce. Ahead of the inauguration next week, former Speaker Paul Ryan discusses the GOP’s road forward and the unity required for a successful reconciliation bill. As LA plans its future beyond the fires, crisis management expert Eric Dezenhall highlights the political and economic fallout. Plus, Dezenhall’s new book, “Wiseguys and the White House," explores the relationships between U.S. Presidents and gangsters throughout U.S. history.
