The Morning After: Elon Musk is buying Twitter

This morning’s tech headlines are heavy on Musk. While the SpaceX and Tesla boss is still chasing hyperloop glory, yesterday— more than anyone else would have likely paid for the social network.

Musk has already said he’ll take the company private and added he wants to upgrade Twitter by protecting free speech, open-sourcing algorithms, fighting spambots and"authenticating all humans." Now, there's no-one the internet and tech media loves to predict or bet against more than Elon Musk. What's odd is that Musk laid out his interest in Twitter so explicitly. He tweets so much. He makes headlines, not only in specialist press but across TV networks and major newspapers, with his casual missives running the gamut from typo-riven banter — how I deal with Twitter, to be honest — to angering America's Securities Exchange Commission and facing repercussions for it.

Bezos paid $250 million for a journalistic institution. Musk is offering up 176 times more for Twitter.

Elon Musk and the ghost of Jay GouldA powerful 1%-er launches a takeover bid for a seemingly irreplaceable communications network, igniting a panic over the power of the super-rich. No, not Elon and Twitter. We're talking about the notorious Gilded Age financier Jay Gould. nobody in a position to do anything about it is doing anything about it, so... Weird, I do not remember these kinds of articles when Beezos bought the Post... Where was your concern when Bezos took over Wash Post? Or Job's wife taking over the Atlantic? Goes both ways.
