Young Thug Released From Hospital, Expected To Appear In Court: Report

by

Young Thug’s attorney confirmed his release from medical facilities after experiencing chest pains. Reports emerged on Thursday (May 11th) that the authorities rushed the Atlanta artist to a hospital before his expected court appearance. However, at the time, it was unclear what health-related problems he was facing. According to 11 Alive, Thug experienced chest pains before getting treatment from Grady Hospital. Fortunately, he has since been released following an evaluation and is now expected to appear in court today (May 12).

The attorney for Young Thug, Keith Adams, told Judge Ural Glanville that he was unaware of Thug’s condition. He added that he didn’t expect the rapper to appear in court for Thursday’s hearing. “I’ve asked the sheriff’s department if I’d be able to make contact with Mr. Williams. If I’d be able to see him at Grady,” Adams explained. “They said probably not. I do know that he’s had some difficulty of a similar sort at the Cobb County Jail a few months ago.”

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard of Thug facing issues related to his health behind bars. The 31-year-old rap star’s other attorney, Brian Steel, filed a fourth motion for bond last month. The attorney stated that court schedule leaves the rapper sleep-deprived regularly. Steel explained Thug had to wake up 4 or 5 a.m. for court. However, he doesn’t get back to the detention center until late at night. Ultimately, Steel argued that its hindered Thug’s ability to properly prepare for court. Additionally, Thug reportedly has access to few healthy food options.

Thug has been in custody for nearly a year at this point. He, alongside Gunna, were arrested as part of a sweeping RICO indictment involving alleged members of YSL. Prosecutors claim the alleged street gang is affiliated with the Bloods. Officials claim Young Thug is the “head” of the organized street gang. One prosecutor alleged, “He’s the one they’re all afraid of, he’s the one that’s King Slime.” However, his attorneys claim that prosecutors targetted Thug because of his art. We’ll keep you posted on further updates surrounding Young Thug’s case.

Elon Musk Claims Twitter Is Now Worth Way Less Than What He Paid For It

by

When Elon Musk swooped in to buy Twitter a few months ago, a lot of people laughed at him. Overall, Musk is far from the most popular person in the world. While he certainly does have an army of sycophants on Twitter, there are many who take issue with his business practices. Moreover, his behavior on social media is oftentimes that of a divorced dad with too much time on his hands. That said, perhaps it isn’t so surprising that he would want to be the owner of a platform that is known for housing the chronically online.

Either way, he bought the platform for a grand total of $44 billion. At the time, many felt as though he was grossly overpaying for the platform. After all, Twitter is not meant to be a huge cash cow. However, his meme offer put him in a precarious position, and he was forced to acquire the company. Since then, Twitter has only gotten worse. A horrific For You page, increased levels of racism, and Twitter Blue have made the website almost inhospitable. Consequently, the company is now experiencing major losses in its evaluation.

According to TMZ, a memo from Elon addressed to Twitter employees claims that the company is now only worth upwards of $20 billion. When you do the math, you realize that Elon Musk has lost over half of his investment. Although, Musk doesn’t seem too concerned right now. He believes that Twitter would have gone bankrupt if it were not for him. This is quite a bold statement, however, it isn’t that surprising when you consider how only a select few are crazy enough to pay to use Twitter.

It remains to be seen how Musk will be able to turn the company around, if at all. Advertisers are already running for the hills in regard to Twitter as content moderation has been pitiful. In Musk’s eyes though, he is the best CEO to ever exist. If only we all could have such visions of ourselves.
