Here's the latest installment of “Key Tweets,” a (usually) weekly post that presents some of my tweets (or retweets) from the week, including pictures and other interesting stuff. I sometimes also re-share items that I've posted on LinkedIn.
You can follow me @MarkGraban and join the fun and the conversation, but you don't need a Twitter account to view any of this.

“Mr. Musk promises investors that Tesla is going to start making more cars and profits any day now, but that’s wishful thinking. Tesla is not generating enough cash to pay back the mountain of debt that is coming due soon.” https://t.co/SUGv9nDLM9
