Activist investor Elliott Investment Management won’t be proceeding with plans to nominate its own directors to Salesforce’s board, citing improved performance and a clearer “focus on value creation” from the enterprise software company. Elliott is one of five activist investors within Salesforce’s ranks, after it bought a multi-billion dollar stake in the company at the turn of the year.

We've had a recent hit of apocalyptic heartbreak with The Last of Us , we're currently getting our fix of survival-based scares with Yellowjackets , and here to round off the holy trinity of misery with some good old fashioned psychological-trauma-mixed-with-familial-dread is the return of Succession . But as well as the sharp barbs and familiarly diabolical moments , Season 4's first episode also came armed with the script's usual multi-layers. A perfect example of this?
