After Elon Musk held a Twitter poll asking if the Twitterati believes Twitter is a good place for free speech, the Ironman-wannabe entrepreneur stepped in with a few billion dollars to purchase over 9 percent of Twitter stock, making him the biggest stockholder of the DNC-CCP-compliant platform.
Now that he’s got that 9 percent, Elon is now a member of the Twitter board, which means he will theoretically have the most influence on what Twitter does next than any other person on the planet.

Perhaps Elon will use the hype to drive the stock up (and it is already shooting up after the Musk move) and then bow out, fatter than he was before, but so not Ironman if he does.
