Undoubtedly, Elon Musk is a "crazy" man. If you agree, you must have heard the stunning $44 billion takeover offer made by Elon Musk for Twitter. And then, on an early morning, he tweeted the deal was on hold, temporarily. There's no clear end in sight.
The idea of the world's richest man in charge of one of the world's most influential social media platforms excites or worries people. What's been going on? How did the whole thing evolve? Here is a look back at the many twists and turns in one of the most high-profile tech deals in recent memory.
steady Pom pipi : His words had a huge impact! Extraordinary people have unusual ideas. I can only say that we can't afford to play rich people's games; I just choose to wait and see.
quiet Anteater_1936 : It also has influence; it's not as effective as before!
Venture118 : Is better for him to forgo d deals , otherwise he may end up sinking more funds, salvaging a dying sites.
oliveface910 : Hey, I wouldn’t be mad at Elon taking over. Would probably fix ALOT of things.
FEN20210524 : Focusing on what you're good at can make this world a better place! But don't try to buy the whole world, because after all, people are just people, and they can't do what God can do.
101833933 : He is much better than many rich people, and most of the time he will tell everyone what he does. Most of them don't tell you until they're dry.
Of course, he said in advance that it might be for his own benefit. He is a businessman, which is understandable.
72756952 : I still think we can expect $Twitter (Delisted) (TWTR.US)$ deal to go through. Does anyone have reason to think that Elon’s silence meant anything bad? I think because of $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ policy on abortion, he didn’t want to be giving any hot takes recently.
ankykong : I lost a lot on the Twitter deal, but I'm holding because I believe it will go up. Musk will not back down from the deal
Jeda05 : He definitely will buy twitter and make it great otherwise he wouldn't have never make an offer. He has a calculated mind.
niece : The lack of a deeper roster suggests that coinvestors are less sold on Musk’s concept to buy Twitter than the ability to get further into his inner circle. It also shows that if he wants to share both the risk and the responsibility of owning and running Twitter, that will only get more challenging from here.
