Gwen’s picks for Monday, November 8 include:

  • Eight people were killed and dozens more were injured at the Astroworld Festival in Houston over the weekend. Rapper and event organizer Travis Scott is now facing several lawsuits from the deadly incident. On Monday, Scott vowed to refund all Astroworld attendees.
  • Tesla CEO Elon Musk made noise on Twitter again over the weekend, asking his 62.8 million followers if he should sell 10% of his Tesla stock. “I will abide by the results of this poll, whichever way it goes,” Musk said in a reply to his poll. 57.9% of respondents voted for Musk to sell the Tesla stock. The poll caused Tesla shares to slump more than 6% at the opening bell Monday.
  • Ted Cruz went on Twitter to call out Big Bird for COVID-19 vaccine ‘propaganda’.
