Trump Media Group CEO Devin Nunes baselessly claimed that Donald Trump urged Elon Musk to buy Twitter to “take on tech tyrants”. Musk vehemently denies that Trump had anything to do with the purchase, saying that he’s had no contact with the former President and reiterated that Trump doubled-down on only being on his Truth Social platform.

The world’s richest man Elon Musk has reportedly bought Twitter for $43 billion to take the company private and restore our “free speech”. Although Musk wants to make Twitter more like a public-square style of social media, it will always be dangerous to consolidate a media company's power with just a single private owner instead of running it like a public utility.

With his massive purchase of almost 10% of Twitter, Elon Musk made an extra $156 million for failing to report his purchase for 11 days. By law, investors must notify the SEC whenever they surpass the 5% stake threshold and continued to buy stocks at a discounted value before publicly announcing the purchase and inflating the stock’s price.
