San Francisco, Feb 28 (Ians) Amid the continuing layoffs at Twitter, Elon Musk may have zeroed in on its new CEO — Steve Davis who is a long-time associate of Musk and currently the CEO of The Boring Company.

The Boring Company is an infrastructure and tunnel construction services company founded by Musk.

Davis has emerged as one of Musk’s top lieutenants at Twitter, which is going through massive churning and layoffs.

According to the report, the latest job cut impacted more than 200 employees and Davis had a key role to play.

The budget is being supplemented by selling each frame of his film The Tunnel for a dollar and with 135K frames that is a lot of dollars for an Ozzie shot horror film.

The 1930 Ford Model Coupe, which Johnny Depp drove in "Public Enemies", is to go under the hammer at auction in Arizona. The vehicle actually carried gangsters John Dillinger, Hommer Van Meter and John Hamilton to safety after an FBI raid in Little Bohemia, Wisconsin in the 1930s. Depp played Dillinger in the film.

The car will be the highlight item at the 39th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction, which will be held in Scottsdale between January 18 and 24, 2010. Dillinger reportedly sprayed pursuing cops with his Tommy gun from the vehicle.

Barrett-Jackson president Steve Davis tells WENN, "This car is a piece of American gangster history and as much a part of Dillinger's legend as his Tommy guns and Colt automatics. Not only did this particular car get the famous gangster out of a fix with the cops in hot pursuit, it was used in the recent Johnny Depp movie about Dillinger.

The Ford was carefully restored in 2007 to appear in Public Enemies, preserving the original bullet holes and dimples under body filler and carefully documenting the original appearance including the upholstery soaked with blood.
