Wall Street banks are getting ready to sell up to $3 billion of debt holdings in X, the social-media platform controlled by Elon Musk, two sources with knowledge of the matter said Friday. Morgan Stanley bankers have reached out to investors ahead of a planned sale next week, the people added.

That answer may well be true. After all, sales of purely internal combustion vehicles have been in decline globally since 2018. Last year, EVs and hybrids together made up 20% of U.S. new car sales and that number is significantly higher globally, propelled especially by China, where EVs alone make up 50% of new car sales.

The British-headquartered lender unveiled a more stringent approach to hybrid working in a memo to staff earlier this week, which cut the minimum number of days staff can work from home from three down to two.

The bank is the latest large company to roll back its flexible working policies brought in during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Wall Street Journal reports that banks are planning to sell part of the $13 billion in debt they gave Musk to buy Twitter.
