With each passing day, Elon Musk and his Twitter become more worthy of a Netflix documentary. The Tesla owner, who is the richest billionaire in the world, is now trying his hands on something new. And while trying new things is nice, maybe purchasing one of the most chaotic social media platforms with no prior experience is not the way to go. But given the fact that he is Elon Musk and while everything he touches may not magically turn into gold, he definitely can give you an equation that can help you attain plenty of gold.

Looks like Elon Musk is complying with his 2017 “Fly me to the moon” tweet and taking Twitter along with it.

After acquiring Twitter through a multi-million dollar deal, Elon Musk dissolved the directorial committee. The Tesla owner also introduced paid verification, which, according to Toscano, he had already pitched in Automating Humanity, abook that he wrote in 2018.
