About this episode
On 26th October 2022, Elon Musk walked into Twitter’s San Francisco offices carrying a sink. He was there to complete a deal to acquire the company and later tweeted an image along with the corny caption “Entering Twitter HQ; Let that sink in”. Within two days, the $44bn acquisition was confirmed, following months of speculation. And it’s fair to say that Musk’s first weeks as head of Twitter have been anything but dull, with a number of controversies quickly ensuing. He’s long been an active user of Twitter, and has accrued over 100 million followers. Not only does he use the platform to promote his businesses, he also posts memes and makes outlandish comments.
