>> little bit of job insecurity in a sense. >> the twitter we interact with a week from now won't be at all the same as what we see today. right now at 11:00, it's a

new era for san francisco bay's twitter, and a lot of questions from employees. elon musk officially taking the helm tonight. so the world's richest man is now officially in charge of twitter. after the news broke this evening, musk tweeted out the bird is free. and he was very quick to make changes, namely firing people. he ousted the ceo along with the cfo, the top legal executive, and the general counsel. tonight it's reported musk plans to take over the role of twitter ceo. this had a lot of twists and turns, so many changes. did he, will he, won't he, and it all started back in january when musk started buying up shares. in april, he made his offers. two months later, he threatened to back out and twitter sued. here we are now. musk has acknowledged that he's actually overpaid for twitter, and will

finance the $44 billion deal with $33 billion of his own money. but because he took out loans, the deal saddles the company with about $13 billion in debt. and tomorrow twitter shares will be suspended. and especially here in the bay area, the question is what will happen to the 7500 employees. some analysts say for many of them, it isn't looking good. >> elon musk started his acquisition of twitter by doing a telling campaign instead of a listening campaign. he told them how the management wasn't doing a good job and how bad a company they were, and so it's hard to imagine him coming in and suddenly giving everyone a bear hug and saying all right, let's get to work! i have to imagine it will be a pretty rough start. >> so probably the best place for reaction about twitter is twitter. makes sense. there's reaction to just about every headline on twitter. andrea nakano is here with us to talk

about that. and that includes employee reaction, right? >> yes, we spent tonight outside of twitter headquarters. as employees left the building, many were understandably reluctant to talk about what happened, but we did catch up with one employee that shared a few words with us. he did ask us to not show his face or identify him by name. he expressed a sentiment that most twitter employees are feeling tonight. >> i don't know, like, i guess a little bit of job insecurity in a sense. >> we approached others about their thoughts on the transition as elon musk takes over the social media platform. almost all just walked away without comment. there was a group of employees at the bar within the building, and as we can only imagine, the talk was about what happens next. tonight there are so many

unanswered questions. the employee we spoke with said he's learned little about the transition and is waiting, like others, to see if he'll remain with the company. >> i think it will be really interesting to see how it unfolds. as far as internal messages, we haven't gotten much. just hey, it's a different change. >> while many employees did not want to talk, there were a select few who decided to hop on twitter to share their thoughts. the tweets were fairly vague and short olivia naylor tweeted me when anyone asks anything about anything twitter related with a video saying i don't want to think about it. so this raises a new stack of questions about what will happen to the employees and the future of the social media platform. >> i imagine that's very stressful. and what about the rest of us? those of us that

use twitter. tech experts say we should be prepared for some big changes. >> he's made clear, for example, that he's going to reassess the way that lifetime bans work. donald trump is the first name you think about what that happens. so i don't know if it will be immediate, but it's pretty clear president trump will probably be invited back on the platform. >> it certainly seems like a lot of people are talking about the deal tonight. congresswoman jackie spear was baffled by the sink musk carried into twitter headquarters at a meeting. >> i still don't understand why he was bringing a sink into twitter today. did they ever explain that? >> let it sink in. >> oh, let it sink in he was actually taking it over. still ahead tonight, the warriors looked like themselves again. that tends to happen

when they shoot it 40% from deep. steph curry leading the charge for golden state once more. the highlights coming up later. but first, what is going on with traffic crashes in san jose? the search for a driver accused of hitting an elderly woman and a child. and do you think 16 years is old enough to vote? how two bay area cities are setting a nationwide example. heading into halloween weekend, a lot of stuff going on in the bay area starting with the halloween haunt tomorrow, and temperatures will be perfectly cool. it's what you expect in golden

it's really been an especially dangerous year for pedestrians on the streets of san jose, and it seems like we report on a crash every week. there have been 54 traffic deaths this year in san jose. 29 of them involving pedestrians. that's a 25-year high. an elderly man recently died of his injuries back in jug. he was riding a motorized scooter on lundy avenue and sierra road when he was hit by a car. tonight, there's new video of a hit and run driver that slammed into an elderly woman and toddler in a stroller. the woman was pushing a three-year-old in the stroller in the crosswalk when the car sped by and knocked them to the ground. this

happened just yesterday before 6:00. both of them are expected to be okay. this is the car the cops are looking for. a newer dark gray four-door hatchback, that may have damage near the front end driver's side. more and more communities are thinking about letting 16-year-olds vote in local elections following the lead of two cities here in the bay area. michael george talks to one teen who fought for the right to vote and won. >> reporter: 17-year-old andreas already has a passion for politics, but he wasn't sure about how to get involved in his hometown of chevy chase, maryland. >> i said what about 16-year-olds voting in elections? >> reporter: he spoke to the town council, made presentations by zoom, and officially not the town charter

amended. why do you think 16-year-olds should be allowed to vote? >> it will increase voter turnout and civic engagement down the line. >> reporter: a small number of communities nationwide are considering allowing 16 and 17-year-olds to vote in local elections only. five towns in maryland are already doing it. it passed in berkeley and oakland, california, though it hasn't been implemented yet. and this november, it's on the ballot in culver city, california. >> they're writing letters to local legislators and mayors, and in many ways they're being the change they want to see in the world. >> reporter: but there is skepticism. culver city's former mayor wrote an argument against the change saying these are not elections with training wheels so your children can warm up for the big elections. these are big elections. and some worry teens aren't mature enough to make their own informed choice. >> a lot of people think young

people will just vote based on how their parents want them to vote. >> reporter: what's been your response to that? >> the research simply doesn't indicate that youth voting is a mirroring of what their parents have down. >> a lot of these local issues impact us. >> reporter: he said if he can get a job and pay taxes on his salary, he should have a voice. michael george, cbs news, new york. my sister, believe it or not, shot this video of the spacex rocket from palm springs. it's launching a batch of star link satellites into orbit. she didn't know that when she sent it to me. she was freaking out just a little bit. but it's okay. paul is here, this is his area of expertise. >> well, kind of, until it leaves the atmosphere. but yes, elon musk making plenty of waves elsewhere tonight for other reasons, but he also

tweeted out this picture during the spacex launch. and maybe he'll be cross promoting his other platforms. the rocket is topped with 53 satellites. about 15 minutes into launch, the satellites were deployed into orbit. they're signed to bring internet to customers around the world, including underserved areas. this is spacex's 49th mission of the year already. the idea is the rocket then comes back to earth and lands on a ship offshore. around here, we'll return to earth and the weather. the clouds with us from time to time tomorrow. little additional cloud cover, a stronger on shore breeze meaning cooler temperatures tomorrow, but not dramatically cooler. dry weekend in store with near normal temperatures. the storm track aimed well to the north. we need some rain. new updates from the u.s. drought monitor came out today, and it expands the area of extreme drought, the second worst category, farther into the bay area. solano county,

almost all of napa county, half of sonoma county included in the second worst category. exceptional drought throughout the valley. still 17% of the state in the worst category, exceptional drought. but we have some rain chances in the forecast down the line. it won't be over the weekend or for halloween, but by tuesday and wednesday, maybe lingering into thursday we'll be optimistic. we could see scattered light rain showers, but the key word there is light. a tenth of an inch to quarter inch of rain seems like the most likely scenario for the bay area. but unfortunately we have a long way to go, and there's still time for lucy to pull the football away from charlie brown. no fog out there

just yet, but i think some will reform along the coast later tonight. 40s already in santa rosa, and other temperatures in the low to mid-50s. most of us end up in the 40s by early tomorrow morning. slightly below normal for this time of year. mid-40s around the bay, and the chilliest spots in the north bay valleys in the 30s. tomorrow about three to six degrees below normal. low to mid-60s around the bay with further inland in the upper 60s. returning to near normal temperatures into the weekend. looking ahead to the trick or treat forecast monday evening, we see some fog as the marine layer re-establishes itself making things spooky along the coast. temperatures in the bay near 60, with mid-60s for at least a little while monday evening before cooler weather arrives along with rain chances beginning on tuesday. so a little up and down temperature pattern for the next several days. the last weekend in october is looking pretty good.

near normal temperatures, meaning mid to upper 60s around the bay the 70s further inland. slightly cooler on monday, but then the cooler air actually arrives with the rain chances. again, tuesday, wednesday, and thursday, we're broad brushing the day. daily rain chances there. we are going to see one of those days bring us the best rain chance, it's just uncertain which day at this point. sports is coming up next. it's rare for tom brady to achieve anymore firsts at this stage in his career. he is, 45, after all. what happened tonight that had never happened to number 12 in the nfl. and the chef cooking tonight, was his big game enough to prepare the warriors? and

i'm jayson. i'm living with hiv and i'm on cabenuva. it helps keep me undetectable. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva is two injections, given by my healthcare provider, every other month. it's really nice not to have to rush home and take a daily hiv pill. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or if you taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. ready to treat your hiv in a different way? ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. and i'm good to go.

charlie is here to talk about how the warriors managed to pull it together, right charlie? >> it's not the defense that's doing the work right now. golden state has played five games and given up 100 points in each match up. the good news, dicey defense or not, all you need in basketball is the more points than the opposition. to the chase center we go. jimmy butler led miami with 27 points. fourth quarter, steph lobs it up for green. 30 assists for the dubs tonight. they go up 105-100. no assist needed here. curry stops, pops, and it drops. buries the triple. 21 second half points for curry. they were up 8.

golden state, the rebound. draymond, relocates, curry top of the key, an old fashioned game of around the world. golden state win 123-110. sharks and maple leafs from the tank. san jose on the attack right away, scoring 26 seconds into the game. the shark's captain has 23 career goals. timmo ahead to karlsson. there's the break away. karlsson scores. sharks win in ot, 4-2. debo samuel missed practice thursday again with a hamstring injury.

>> reporter: wildlife officials eventually located the tranquilized animal in a homeowners backyard a block away. from above you can see the cat loaded in the truck. a few minutes later the truck carrying the cat pulled over and cruz appeared to be checking on it including putting water on the animal. after several minutes the truck drove off taking them online to its new habitat. fortunately no

one was hurt. neighbors say the moments were a reminder of how close their homes are to that of wildlife. >> the speculation is maybe he got trapped and couldn't get back, he probably came down from the mountains looking for some water in the drought, or something to eat. >> anytime there close to residential communities, the back door is the angeles national forest, animals can travel and you will see them. >> if you think spiders are scary enough alive, do we have a story for you. why scientists are turning dead spiders in

my producer said, is this story too disgusting to be on the news? i said yes, here it is anyway. engineers at rice university found a way to repurpose dead spiders. this one was turned into a mechanical gripper. carrying another spider, they used a needle to puff air into it and then turn it into a claw machine because apparently spiders use hydraulics to move their limbs around. >> in a human we have our biceps and triceps, they work to flex and extend the elbow joint, but when you think about spiders, they have muscles that will bring their joints in toward the body but they don't have extensors. >> to this guy have nothing else to do? scientists say that explanation is the reason spiders girl up when they die,

and during their experiments researchers found the spiders could lift more than 130% of their own body weight. you know the thing at chuck e. cheese? >> it's not realistic. you'd be dropping the spider. >> every time. >> next time you go there they have to put one of these things in there, and you will finally pull that out. >> i am generally pro-science. >> not here? we've abandoned. >> no thank you. >> i'm sure that horrified you, thank you for watching, the la (upbeat music) - hi everyone, and welcome to legal help center. this is where we have professionals standing by to answer your questions regarding personal injury. so if you've been injured in an accident that was not your fault, like a car accident or a slip and fall, we can help.
