BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

Elon Musk, Twitter's CEO, announced that he has found his replacement and will officially step down from his position in six weeks. 

Musk made his announcement in a tweet, on Thursday, when he wrote "Excited to announce that I've hired a new CEO for X/Twitter," Musk wrote. "She will be starting in ~6 weeks!"

Moreover, he informed the public that he will be transitioning to a new position: "exec chair & CTO, overseeing product, software & sysops."

However, the new chief remains unidentified in name or experience.

The news does not come as a surprise since Musk had made his intention to appoint a successor as early as last February.

At the World Government Summit in Dubai, Musk said “I’m guessing probably towards the end of this year should be good timing to find someone else to run the company because I think it should be in a stable position around the end of this year."

Twitter grants media outlets the option of commodifying articles

Most recently, on Twitter, Musk announced that the platform will be introducing a new option specifically geared towards media outlets' accounts allowing them to charge users for content on a per-article basis. 

"Rolling out next month, this platform will allow media publishers to charge users on a per-article basis with one click. This enables users who would not sign up for a monthly subscription to pay a higher per article price for when they want to read an occasional article," Musk tweeted.

Moreover, Twitter also revealed a similar option for non-media outlet accounts allowing them to monetize their content, which will allow users to make money off of content creation.
