Elon Musk to join Twitter’s board of directors

He could do that with any number of stagnant companies. Think bigger picture.

Tesla: Sustainable transport

SpaceX: Becoming a multiplanetary species

Twitter: Free speech in the public square

IMO it's actually the most important mission of the 3 since it's the basis for societal progress.

Here's a more sane interpretation of Musk's "mission" for these companies:

Tesla: Gimmicky electric cars as a status symbol

SpaceX: Maximizing profits on government space contracts

Twitter: Tactical manipulation of stock prices

All of them are about increasing Musk's clout and net worth.

"Maximizing profits on government space contracts"

That would be the United Launch Alliance, Sir.

Deeply cynical interpretation?

I think this is a charitable interpretation of what’s going on, unfortunate to see so many IMO reasonable comments getting downvoted here.
