I do love reading about how unbelievable stuff elon does is. He should frame all the quotes. SpaceX had lots of these including from the heads of europe and russia space programs.

Does he have perhaps more of a vision for twitter than current mgmt?

Did his involvement increase / decrease the stock price?

If they turn him down could he build something for lets say $20B in spending?

Going to be some interesting times.

And by the way, twitter DID invite him to be on the board with the requirement he not get more stock.

this was a trap - both barring his ability to gain more shares, as well as putting him in a place where he can't talk about twitter publicly to the same extent as a hostile takeover.
