Summary
Elon Musk wants Twitter -- or else! The world’s richest man already owns more than 9% of the social media platform, but he wants it all to himself. Elon made a hefty bid of more than $40 billion to buy Twitter, saying he wants to boost free speech and democracy for all. And if the Tesla CEO doesn't get what he wants, he's threatening to throw a big financial tantrum and pull out of Twitter altogether. Anyone else getting supervillain vibes?
