Elon Musk’s Twitter Investment
Musk acquired control of Twitter at the end of October, following months of legal disputes and a close call with a full-blown trial. Musk entered Twitter headquarters holding a sink, tweeting the image with the words, “Let that sink in,” just before the $44 billion (€41.45 billion) investment was finalised.
In the two months that followed, Twitter lost millions of dollars every day. While experiencing huge layoffs, conflicts about blue tick boxes, the reactivation of Donald Trump’s account, the expulsion of several journalists, and the ban on promoting other social media platforms.
The billionaire’s involvement on Twitter is what some investors believe is detracting from his work at Tesla. The electric vehicle firm he also oversees has also prompted calls from Wall Street for Musk to leave the platform. So get more updated news like this do catch up All In One Trendz Official website!
