Elon Musk’s Twitter Takeover: Lessons in Strategic Change

In late October 2022, Elon Musk officially took Twitter private and became the company’s majority shareholder, finally ending a months-long acquisition saga. He appointed himself CEO and brought in his own team to clean house. Musk needed to take decisive steps to succeed against the major opposition to his leadership from both inside and outside the company. Twitter employees circulated an open letter protesting expected layoffs, advertising agencies advised their clients to pause spending on Twitter, and EU officials considered a broader Twitter ban. What short-term actions should Musk take to stabilize the situation, and how should he approach long-term strategy to turn around Twitter? Harvard Business School assistant professor Andy Wu and co-author Goran Calic, associate professor at McMaster University’s DeGroote School of Business, discuss Twitter as a microcosm for the future of media and information in their case, “Twitter Turnaround and Elon Musk.”

The Opioid Crisis, CEO Pay, and Shareholder Activism

In 2020, AmerisourceBergen Corporation, a Fortune 50 company in the drug distribution industry, agreed to settle thousands of lawsuits filed nationwide against the company for its opioid distribution practices, which critics alleged had contributed to the opioid crisis in the US. The $6.6 billion global settlement caused a net loss larger than the cumulative net income earned during the tenure of the company’s CEO, which began in 2011. In addition, AmerisourceBergen’s legal and financial troubles were accompanied by shareholder demands aimed at driving corporate governance changes in companies in the opioid supply chain. Determined to hold the company’s leadership accountable, the shareholders launched a campaign in early 2021 to reject the pay packages of executives. Should the board reduce the executives’ pay, as of means of improving accountability? Or does punishing the AmerisourceBergen executives for paying the settlement ignore the larger issue of a business’s responsibility to society? Harvard Business School professor Suraj Srinivasan discusses executive compensation and shareholder activism in the context of the US opioid crisis in his case, “The Opioid Settlement and Controversy Over CEO Pay at AmerisourceBergen.”

Because cut flowers have a limited shelf life and consumers want them to retain their appearance for as long as possible, Sian and its distributors used international air cargo to transport them to Amsterdam, where they were sold at auction and trucked to markets across Europe. But when the Covid-19 pandemic caused huge increases in shipping costs, Sian launched experiments to ship roses by ocean using refrigerated containers. The company reduced its costs and cut its carbon emissions, but is a flower that travels halfway around the world truly a “low-carbon rose”?

I'm a financial planner — with layoffs on the rise, I suggest taking another look at your insurance

  • It can be good for your peace of mind to get an individual long-term disability policy.
  • Life insurance policies are affordable, especially if you lock in a premium when you're younger.
  • If you lose your job, it may be tempting to let your health insurance lapse — but it's worth having.

Layoffs have hit several sectors in 2024, and many workers are more worried about losing their jobs as the previously hot job market continues to slow.

As a financial planner, I always recommend getting your financial ducks in a row so you're not caught in the lurch during layoffs. And one thing I've noticed is that insurance considerations often get lost in the shuffle, especially during unexpected layoffs.

It's understandable. Losing your job is incredibly stressful, and your first focus is typically trying to make ends meet. But many people don't realize just how much of their insurance coverage is tied to their employment. Disability, life, health, dental, vision — all can evaporate quickly after a pink slip.

That's why it's worth taking some time to reevaluate your coverage now and explore individual policies before you actually need them. Here are some types of insurance you should review.

1. Disability insurance

If I had to pick one of the most important coverages to consider in the event of job loss, disability insurance would be at the top of the list. Yet it's also among the least understood (and purchased!) policies, especially by younger workers.

Disability insurance replaces your income if you're unable to work due to illness or injury. In other words, it's a financial safety net if something prevents you from earning a paycheck. Considering that more than one in four of today's 20-year-olds become disabled before reaching retirement age, it's not a minor risk.

Many employers offer group short-term disability and long-term disability options. Short-term disability usually kicks in first and covers a percentage of your salary for a shorter period, typically under 26 weeks. Long-term disability policies take over after that, typically replacing 50% to 60% of salary for a set period of time or until retirement age.

However, these policies disappear if you leave the company. They're also taxable. If you rely solely on employer-sponsored disability and get laid off, you could find yourself without coverage right when you may need it most.

I recommend at least looking into buying an individual long-term disability policy. It costs, on average, 1% to 2% of your annual salary — and as long as you pay the premium, it will stick with you no matter what job you have. Yes, premiums are higher than workplace plans. But the peace of mind is often worth it, especially if you have a high-income career or someone financially relying on you.

2. Life insurance

Another common employer-provided insurance is group life insurance , which pays out a death benefit if you die while employed. This is often worth one to two times your annual salary.

Similar to disability insurance, though, this group life insurance is contingent on your working at that company. If you leave the company, that extra safety net for your family goes "poof."

That's why I highly recommend considering an individual life insurance policy . Some policies can be relatively affordable — the average cost of a policy ranges from $40 to $55 a month.

Most people only need to get term life insurance, which provides a fixed death benefit for a set number of years, say a 20- or 30-year term. It's quite affordable, especially if you lock in your premiums while you're younger.

Buying an individual policy gives you control over your financial future. You won't have to worry about being uninsured if you suddenly lose workplace coverage. And if you leave on your own terms down the road, this policy comes with you.

3. Health insurance

Healthcare is the type of insurance most people associate with employment — and for good reason. Employer-sponsored health plans are often more affordable and comprehensive than individual market options. However, they also come with strict rules around enrollment — if you lose your job, you often lose your coverage.

If you're laid off, you'll likely be offered COBRA continuation coverage. This allows you to stay on your former employer's health plan for up to 18 months by paying the full monthly premium yourself (plus a small admin fee). It's pricy, but it lets you keep your existing doctors and benefits.

Losing job-based coverage qualifies you for a special enrollment period on the federal marketplace. You have 60 days before or after your final day of work to sign up for a new plan. These can be pricy, too, but you may qualify for subsidies based on your income.

Short-term health insurance is also available. It is generally much cheaper than COBRA or ACA plans but provides leaner benefits. These plans also don't cover pre-existing conditions and may have limits on prescriptions, maternity, and mental healthcare. But if you're healthy and need a temporary budget option, they're worth considering.

My biggest piece of advice? Don't delay your decision and let coverage lapse. It's tempting to put off insurance while prioritizing more immediate needs. But going uncovered is a massive financial risk, even for a brief period between jobs. Medical debt remains a leading cause of bankruptcy . That's why it's important to make a plan now.

Review all your insurance options

Disability, life, and health are three of the most common types of insurance to review if you've been laid off, but they aren't the only ones. Dental, vision, critical illness, accident — these supplemental policies also are commonly tied to employment.

If you have any wellness concerns on the horizon — major dental work or vision correction — address those while your workplace benefits are still active. Then, decide if you need to purchase individual coverage as well.

It can be stressful to think about the possibility of losing your job (and your income) but it's important to be prepared and think ahead.

Iran warns of shift in nuclear stance if Israel threatens atomic sites

Najmeh Bozorgmehr and Andrew England in London, Claire Jones in Washington and Felicia Schwartz in Capri

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.

Iran has warned Israel it is likely to review its nuclear stance if its atomic facilities are threatened, as tensions rise following the Islamic republic’s weekend drone and missile attack on Israel.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Thursday that Tehran may “reconsider” its nuclear policy, which it has long insisted is purely peaceful but which western powers say has put it on the threshold of becoming a weapons state.

The warning was issued as the US and UK announced new sanctions on Iran’s drone programme in response to Saturday’s strike on Israel.

“Reconsidering the nuclear doctrine and policies of the Islamic republic of Iran . . . is probable and imaginable, if the fake Zionist regime threatens to attack our country’s nuclear centres,” said Major General Ahmad Haq Talab, who oversees the security of Iran’s nuclear installations.

His comments were published in the semi-official Tasnim news agency, which is affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, Iran ’s most powerful military force.

Regime hardliners have previously threatened that, during periods of heightened tensions with the west, Iran could withdraw from the non-proliferation treaty, which governs countries’ nuclear facilities.

Map showing Iran's nuclear facilities

Haq Talab warned Israel that any aggression against Iran’s facilities would be reciprocated at Israel’s nuclear weapon sites — which the Jewish state has never acknowledged possessing.

Israel has pledged to respond to last weekend’s Iranian attack, in which Tehran fired more than 300 missiles and drones.

That assault prompted Washington on Thursday to announce sanctions on 16 individuals and two companies that aid the production of unmanned aerial vehicles, such as drones, in co-ordination with measures announced by the UK. 

“We are committed to acting collectively to increase economic pressure on Iran,” US President Joe Biden said, adding that his administration “will not hesitate to take all necessary action” to hold Tehran accountable. 

“Our allies and partners have or will issue additional sanctions and measures to restrict Iran’s destabilising military programmes,” Biden said.

Other curbs announced by the UK on Thursday included measures against Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Gharaei Ashtiani, Iran’s defence minister, and institutions and personnel responsible for operational command of Iran’s armed forces.

Tehran said it launched last weekend’s attack — its first-ever direct assault on Israel from Iranian soil — in retaliation for a suspected Israeli air strike on its consulate building in Damascus, which killed seven Revolutionary Guards members, including two senior commanders.

The US and other western allies have been pressing Israel to show restraint amid fears that the hostilities between Iran and Israel risk triggering an all-out Middle East conflict.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday: “I want to make it clear — we will make our own decisions, and the State of Israel will do everything necessary to defend itself.”

A satellite image of the Natanz nuclear site in Iran

Israel has given no indication of the timing or scale of its response, while Iran has vowed to retaliate against any Israeli strike on the republic.

“We are on the edge of a regional war in the Middle East,” EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell warned at a G7 foreign ministers’ meeting on Thursday, as he called on Israel for “a restrained answer to the Iranians’ attack”.

Netanyahu has repeatedly threatened over the years to take action to prevent Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon.

The US-based Arms Control Association said in a paper this week that targeting Iranian nuclear sites “would be a reckless and irresponsible escalation that increases the risk of a wider regional war . . . and is more likely to push Tehran to decide that developing nuclear weapons is necessary to deter future attacks”.

Tehran and Washington have been locked in a nuclear crisis since then president Donald Trump in 2018 unilaterally abandoned the deal that Tehran signed with world powers, imposing waves of sanctions on the republic.

Under the 2015 accord, Iran agreed limits on its nuclear activity and a strict International Atomic Energy Agency monitoring regime in return for sanctions relief.

But after Trump withdrew the US from the agreement, Tehran responded by aggressively ramping up its programme, installing advanced centrifuges and enriching uranium to a purity of 60 per cent — the highest-ever level in Iran.

Experts typically cite 90 per cent purity as weapons grade, but Iran has already taken the most difficult technical steps to reach that point.

Efforts by the Biden administration to revive the 2015 accord floundered and Iran has developed the capacity to produce enough fissile material required for a nuclear weapon in about two weeks. 

In September, the US and Iran agreed to a prisoner exchange and Washington unfroze $6bn in Iranian oil money. It was hoped that the foes would build on those deals to agree to de-escalatory steps, including Iran capping its uranium enrichment.

But any hopes of progress were dashed by Hamas’s October 7 attack and Israel’s retaliatory offensive in Gaza. In the months since, Iran-backed militants have attacked Israel and US forces in the region as hostilities have intensified across the Middle East.

Israel has traded daily fire with Hizbollah, the Lebanese militant group and Iran’s most important proxy, and targeted Revolutionary Guards members in Syria.

The IAEA still has inspectors in Iran, but the UN watchdog and western governments have repeatedly accused Tehran of not co-operating with the agency.

Iran’s nuclear chief Mohammad Eslami told reporters on Wednesday that the republic could be still committed to the 2015 nuclear agreement if other signatories met their promises to ease sanctions on Iran. He said the head of the IAEA would “soon” visit Iran to “update” mutual agreements.
