| Happy Hump Day. It's Charisse Jones with your Daily Money headlines for this lovely Wednesday. |
| It looks like Elon Musk's off-and-on plans to buy Twitter are back on. |
| According to a letter from his lawyers filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the billionaire will go forward with plans to buy the messaging platform for $44 billion. Twitter said Musk wrote saying he was willing to complete the deal and pay $54.20 a share, his original offer. The company says it intends to sell for that amount but stopped short of saying it would drop its lawsuit against the billionaire Tesla CEO. |
| Musk previously wanted to back out of the agreement because he said Twitter misrepresented how it counts the impact of "spam bot'' accounts, but Twitter wanted the deal to move forward. A trial was scheduled to begin on Oct. 17. |
| Ready to quit? You'd better hurry |
| Workers are still quitting their jobs, but the number of open positions is falling, signaling that the ability to job hop may be dwindling. |
| Job openings dipped to 10.1 million at the end of August from 11.2 million the previous month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Meanwhile, the number of people leaving their jobs remained roughly the same at 4.2 million. |
| There were still 1.67 open jobs for each person who was unemployed in August, but that was lower than the 1.9 open positions the previous month. So, Americans who want to quit one job and move into another better hurry, some economists say. |
