This text is for question number 1 to 5.

Tech company Gogle’s popular word processing software, Gogle Docs, will be equipped with a feature that suggests ways
to improve the quality of your writing in addition to fixing straightforward grammar and spelling errors. A purple squiggly
line will helpfully appear under suggestions to help make your writing more concise, inclusive, active, or to warn you away
from inappropriate words.

“The feature will give you suggestions when there are opportunities to structure a sentence with an active voice or when a
sentence can be more concise, helping to make your writing more impactful. Potentially discriminatory or inappropriate
language will be flagged, along with suggestions on how to make your writing more inclusive and appropriate for your
audience,” reads the official blog post about the nifty addition.

These kinds of suggestions have long been available via third-party writing assistant applications like Grammarlee, which is
able to integrate with Gogle Docs and aims to help improve the quality of your writing. Depending on the quality of Gogle
Docs’s native suggestions, it could vastly reduce the need for these third-party services. This is not the first time that Gogle
has turned third-party services unnecessary, and it’s kind of awful of Gogle to keep doing that, but then again, fierce
competition is always to be expected in the world of tech.

The catch is that Gogle isn’t rolling out this assistive writing feature to all Gogle Docs users. It says that the feature, called
Tone and Style Assistant, will be available for subscribers of the enterprise and education plans, including “Business
Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, [and] Education Plus”. Gogle’s internal list of eligible users
has shown that more than ten million Gogle Docs users are subscribed to those plans, and therefore will get the upcoming
assistive writing feature. However, that means if you’re on a more basic plan like Gogle Workspace Essentials, you won’t
get this neat feature.

This text is for question number 6 to 10.

Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and a longtime Twitter provocateur, now owns a 9.2 percent share of
Twitter and has been offered a board seat at the company. Parag Agrawal, Twitter’s CEO, wrote a welcome post on the
platform today, noting that Musk is “both a passionate believer and intense critic of the service, which is exactly what we
need on Twitter, and in the boardroom, to make us stronger in the long-term.”

According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Musk’s board term will expire in 2024. And as long as he
continues to serve on the board, he cannot own more than 14.9 percent of the company’s common stock. Twitter’s move to
appoint Musk a board seat may be a tactic to prevent him from taking over the company by buying a controlling share. 

As his investment was announced days after he publicly questioned the company’s commitment to free speech and
suggested that he might start his own social platform, several outlets are speculating that Musk could be preparing to take
on an activist investor role at Twitter. Activist investors buy big shares in companies to influence how they’re run. A
traditional activist investor takes an important position in a company, installs board members aligned with a certain point
of view, and uses their new power to make financial and operational changes with the goal of increasing the company’s
share price.

Musk might seek to use his position to change Twitter products, content moderation rules (what gets labeled and removed),
and enforcement practices (such as when to deplatform a user). In addition, he has also previously voiced his belief that
users should be allowed to choose what types of tweets they see and what order they see it in, challenging Twitter’s core
algorithm. This resonates with the interest expressed by many Twitter executives to decentralize the platform and enable
users to customize their own feed algorithms.
