- 04-11-2022
Elon Musk bought Twitter. The purchase was made through Musk's investment firm, SpaceX, and was financed by a loan from Goldman Sachs. The deal was announced after Twitter shares soared following a cryptic tweet from Musk.
The purchase of Twitter comes as Musk continues to grow his business empire. In addition to Tesla and SpaceX, Musk also founded The Boring Company, a tunnel construction company, and Neuralink, a brain-computer interface company. He also has a stake in several other startups, including OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research company, and Hyperloop One, a high-speed transportation company.
The purchase of Twitter also gives Musk a larger platform to share his thoughts and ideas with the world. Musk is already one of the most followed people on Twitter, with over 30 million followers. He is known for his use of Twitter to communicate with the public about his companies and projects.
Musk has said that he plans to keep Twitter running as a separate company, and that he will not be involved in its day-to-day operations. He has also said that he plans to invest in Twitter to help it grow.
The purchase of Twitter is just the latest in a series of moves by Musk to grow his business empire. With Tesla, SpaceX, and now Twitter under his belt, Musk is quickly becoming one of the most powerful and influential people in the world.
