Wall Street Rumblings, Twitter Self-Sabotage, Hollywood Mailbag

Welcome back to The Daily Courant, your afternoon compendium of the best new reporting from Puck.

Today, we lead with Bill Cohan’s candid assessment of David Solomon’s future atop Goldman Sachs. Is there any credence to the wave of alarmist media reports seeming to foretell his ouster?

Plus, below the fold: On The Powers That Be, Peter Hamby dials up Bill for a rollicking discussion concerning the possibility that Elon Musk is deliberately sabotaging Twitter to buy back its debt on the cheap. And on the latest episode of The Town, Matt Belloni and Producer Craig answer a slew of listener questions surrounding Bob Iger’s legacy, summer blockbuster flops, the future of Hollywood mega-mergers, and much more.
