"Let that sink in"
Elon Musk paid a visit to Twitter’s headquarters ahead of an end-of-week deadline to close his deal to buy the company, posting a video of himself in the company’s San Francisco lobby carrying a sink.
“Entering Twitter HQ - let that sink in!” he tweeted on Wednesday.
Musk also changed his Twitter profile to refer to himself as “Chief Twit” and his location as Twitter headquarters.
The court has given Musk until Friday to close an agreement to acquire the company, which would end months of turmoil after the billionaire agreed to buy the social network, then tried to back out.
Despite Musk’s splashy entry to headquarters, it wasn’t clear yet whether his purchase of Twitter had been finalized. Twitter confirmed to the Associated Press that Musk’s video tweet was real but wouldn’t comment further.

Iranian TV station hacked.
A broadcast on Iranian state-run television has been hacked and interrupted with images of the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, surrounded by flames, accompanied by the chant 'woman, life, freedom', before returning to a shot of a news presenter.
Pictures of Nika Shakarami, Hadis Najafi, Mahsa Amini and Sarina Esmailzadeh – women who have died during the protest movement were shown at the bottom of the screen.
A caption said 'join us and stand up' and 'the blood of our youth is dripping from your claws', a reference to Khamenei. Protests that have broken out across Iran started in Kurdish regions of the country after the death last month of Amini while in the custody of Iran’s morality police.

Key bridge linking Crimea to Russia hit by huge explosion
A huge explosion has destroyed part of the Kerch bridge from Russia to Crimea, a hated symbol of the Kremlin’s occupation of the southern Ukrainian peninsula, one of Vladimir Putin’s prestige projects and a vital logistical link for the Russian military.
A section of the Ukraine-bound road bridge collapsed into the Kerch strait after the blast, and a fierce fire engulfed a train on the parallel railway connection, creating a vast column of black smoke. The parallel road towards Russia still appeared passable in images from the blast site.
The attack, which came the day after Putin’s 70th birthday, is a major blow to Russian military prestige and its supply chains for the invasion and the defence of Crimea.
Moscow had claimed the bridge was protected by impenetrable layers of defences, ranging from military dolphins to the latest weapons systems, but had also threatened harsh retaliation if it was targeted.
Ukraine has not directly claimed responsibility for hitting the bridge, but senior officials publicly celebrated and on Saturday morning the only real question about the attack was not who ordered it, but how it was carried out.
The explosion, which witnesses said could be heard miles away, happened about 6am on Saturday while a train was crossing the bridge. Pictures of the damage began emerging soon after.
Russia set up a committee to investigate the attack and within hours said three people had been killed and blamed a truck bomb for the blast.

The video below shows the moment of the impact.
A multimillion-dollar spacecraft collided head-on with an asteroid the size of a football stadium on Monday in an unprecedented test of Nasa’s capacity to defend Earth from a doomsday scenario.
Nasa’s craft successfully crashed into the asteroid Dimorphos 6.8m miles from Earth. The mission, known as Dart (Double Asteroid Redirection Test), marked humanity’s first attempt at moving another celestial body, with the goal of seeing if a large asteroid hurtling toward our planet could be successfully diverted.
The spacecraft collided with the asteroid at 15,000mph at 7.14pm EDT. Livestreamed video showed the asteroid’s rubble-strewn surface looming into focus before the spacecraft hit and cheers erupted in the mission control room. Teams of Nasa and Johns Hopkins University scientists hugged each other as Dart’s successful impact with Dimorphos was confirmed.
Shortly after impact, Lori Glaze, Nasa’s planetary science division director, declared it a “new era of humankind”.
“[It’s] an era in which we potentially have the capability to protect ourselves from something like a dangerous, hazardous asteroid impact,” said Glaze. “What an amazing thing. We’ve never had that capability before.”
