gizmodo.com Matthew Gault 2025-11-17 12:05:47

The last remaining nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire in February 2026. While answering questions in St. Petersburg, Russian President Vladimir Putin dangled the possibility of extending it. The cost of the nuclear arms control treaty was subtle but clear. Putin wants everyone to ignore Kyiv’s “hysteria” over not being part of the negotiations for the end of Russia’s war in Ukraine.

In 2022, Elon Musk placed a bid of almost $44 billion to acquire Twitter, which he then tried to worm out of.
