, and Twitter’s board met on April 25 to recommend the deal to shareholders. It was a swift and surprising reversal. “On Friday, there was so much skepticism and cynicism, and now it almost looks like a done deal,” says Vasant Dhar, a professor of information systems at NYU Stern. Musk’s quick movements have left other potential bidders stuck playing catchup.
“I think he’s played it brilliantly,” says Dhar. “One could have expected the reaction we got: ‘Musk is a megalomaniac and he’s doing it for self-promotion.’ But I actually think there’s a lot more to it than that.”
A poisoned chalice.
'Won'
Thank goodness elonmusk did buy twitter. Now we see how the intel community skewed social media as the government amplified propaganda resulting in a national mind f***. Don’t understand why yr not reporting more on this multi pronged psy-op or are yr still under the spell?
Don't know about winning, but probably managed to do what he came for.
LOL WON!?!
'Won' doing a LOT of work here.
Same vibe?
“Won”
He didn't win it, he bought it!!!
I'm glad he landed on his feet at your magazine.
He didn't win twitter. He's destroying it.
Wired is so scared because Musk is not a liberal.
So Musk ended up overpaying for a company on a deal he tried to back out of. But you're going to spin that as 'winning' to thank your new social media overlord?
Surely he lost twitter? In court. To the cost of 40 something of his shiny emerald bajillions?
“Won”? He paid $44 billion for it. He didn’t win shit.
No, the games Musk plays are many levels below the games that any normal person would. He's a self-indulgent clown who completely botched the business part of this acquisition and now that he has it, he still continues his frat boy level behavior on the platform.
Is it considered winning to light piles of cash on fire?
“ he won”
Won? Lol, forced to pay more than he wanted to by the courts = Won does it? Interesting
By overpaying?
Fuck Elon Musk!
Wired, you failed to live up to your title. This article is not wired into the current Zeitgeist. FAIL
This is funny to me.
Old and as today an inaccurate article.
lol..won?
Thought they were bringing something new to the table so I burned a free article on June 1st to read this old story. It's a devious way to drive subscriptions. shadyPractice
I dont Like him
Why would you be tweeting out a story that is over a month old? Do you have a summer student running your social feeds?
Oh, did he “win” Twitter?
Never underestimate Wired's social media team's ability to re-post old stories over and over and over and over again.
I love this.
You can still delete this.
This article is from 25 April! Even printed media is more up to date than this 🤔
An article that is a month out of date…. Literally everything has changed since this was written.
I never want to read another word about Space Karen

'Play stupid games, win stupid prizes' may apply.
Most entrepreneurs don't want to change the world, they just want to exploit the existing systems.
I wish someone would document who’s couches he sleeps on and with whom lol. His smk sessions etc 😮💨😎🥷 To be a fly… twitter spacex tesla elonmusk
'he has BPD'
Because he’s a conman. You’re welcome for the insight.
Is this article even correct? The first line says that he became the new owner and the deal is completed? I have not seen that reported anywhere. It seems this is still very much not done yet.
He paid more than anyone else would in their right minds. Saved you a click.
'Business ethics' does not apply ...
With an eccentric at the helm of Twitter, gotta wait and see!
Hi
If he succeeds, this.
Has elonmusk heard about real philanthropy?
It means becomes irrelevant - hide yo kids hide yo wife
