					THE WEEK'S BIG 3

					Days after closing his $44 billion purchase of Twitter, Elon Musk faced pressure from heads of civil rights groups to disallow many users who had been banned from the platform from returning, and to give company staffers access to the tools necessary to combat election-related misinformation.  The Brooklyn Nets announced Thursday they have suspended Kyrie Irving without pay for at least five games over his response to his posting a link to a film that contained antisemitic material and for refusing to genuinely apologize for it. In Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu is set to return to office as Israel’s next Prime Minister and begins setting the stage to form a coalition
 government.
