Elon Musk has been filed with a lawsuit by Twitter investors for failing to disclose that he had bought a substantial stake in the company.The Tesla chief revealed on April 4 that he had acquired a 9.2 per cent stake in the social media platform.Shares in Twitter soared as investors viewed the move as a vote of confidence, according to The Guardian.But federal trade laws require that investors notify the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after surpassing a 5 per cent stake in a company within 10 days. Musk acquired his shares on 14 March but did not make that public until over two weeks later.A new lawsuit filed in New York yesterday (April 12) alleges, in the time between passing the 5 per cent threshold and publicly reporting, Musk was able to buy up additional shares at a deflated price.Experts estimate that the delay may have resulted Musk netting $156million (£120million), according to The Washington Post.The lawsuit seeks class action status on behalf of investors who sold Twitter stock during that time who claim they lost out on gains they would have been aware of had Musk disclosed his stake earlier.After Musk disclosed his stake, Twitter shares rose 27 percent from $39.31 to $49.97.

Malina Saval Associate Editor, FeaturesPlaying a character in a film who dies by suicide, adapted from a book penned by a famed author who met the same fate, is already a heady experience. But for Liev Schreiber, who tackles the stoically heroic Colonel Richard Cantwell in the big screen version of Ernest Hemingway’s final full-length novel, “Across the River and Into the Trees,” life imitated art — which imitated life — in ways not even Schreiber could have expected.“One of the things that happened to us in this epic, long shoot [in Venice, Italy] is that my father had found a sarcoma on his leg — a very, very rapid [growing] one,” Schreiber told a crowd gathered for a special screening and premiere of the film, directed by Paula Ortiz, at the Sun Valley Film Festival Thursday night.
Kirby And The Forgotten Land may impact the future of the pink sphere’s franchise.In a recent interview with The Washington Post, a few members of the team at HAL Laboratory and Nintendo talked about what the jump to complete 3D could mean for the series, and how that shift in design has inspired change throughout the franchise.“We brought Kirby to the 3D action/platformer genre along with the series’ iconic elements, including the nonstop, feel-good action and excitement,” said Kei Nonimiya of Nintendo’s EPD division.“We also incorporated elements that challenge advanced players while still maintaining playability. I feel that what we achieved in this game has opened up more possibilities for future Kirby titles.”“We hope to continue this momentum and explore new genres and new ways to play in the future,” Nonimiya added.Whilst 3D is new for Kirby, a point was made of how it will not necessarily be the “standard going forward,” according to HAL Laboratory’s Shinya Kumazaki.“We will continue to explore via trial and error and not just limit ourselves to 3D […] it could be considered an important “milestone” in the long history of the series,” they added.Kirby And The Forgotten Land first caught people’s eyes when it showed off the new “Mouthful Mode,” which sees Kirby essentially wrap himself around objects, from staircases to cars and cones.The developers wanted to make sure it was always obvious what Kirby had inhaled, with particular attention brought to how the bottom of the car peeks out from underneath the affectionately fan-named Karby, or how the stairs outline is incredibly obvious just due to the shape.
