Its a done deal:the worlds richest man has purchased Twitter.
Cue the Imperial March.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
As to what this means for the current board, we can only assume Musk will ouster them.
But lets be clear: theres no telling what the worlds richest man will do with his new toy.
Even our wildest speculation could wind up underwhelming in the face of the impending outcome.
But, just in case, lets take things a step further.
Its genuinely possible hes part of a larger team wholl want to have a say in day-to-day company operations.
Maybe hell ultimately end up in control or play the role of CEO.
Maybe hell chair a board of his own design.
Its also conceivable he could turn around and sell Twitter to someone else.
It doesnt seem likely, as $46 billion is a lot of money to anyone on the planet.
Who could this mysterious figure be?
Sure, why not?
In this wild theory it could be anyone.
Lets add Kanye West to the mix as well.
Anythings possible when Elon Musk is involved.
Until we see the paperwork on the deal, all bets are off.
What about the elephant in the room?
Our best guess: 50/50, its too close to call.
Only, theyll have ridiculous titles like Doge Lord and Executive Change Implementer or something.
<- you drop that Techno?
What happens next?
In one version of the future, Musk makes radical changes across the entire app.
On the other hand, perhaps he has a legitimate plan to match his ambition.
Maybe he invented a new mode of discourse.
He eventually gives up and puts someone else in charge until the company ultimately goes public again.
That means were bound to see some form of content moderation.
The question is: wholl be in charge then, and will they have a user base left?
