Elon Musk Becomes Twitter's Largest Shareholder Owning 9.2 Percent of All Shares |
![]() From the story: Tesla CEO Elon Musk opened a new front in his criticism of Silicon Valley tech giants on Monday morning when he disclosed he acquired a 9.2 percent stake in Twitter in mid-March, meaning Musk is now the company’s biggest shareholder (Townhall). From The New York Times: The purchase, made public on Monday in a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, is worth about $2.89 billion based on the closing price of Twitter’s stock on Friday. News of Mr. Musk’s buy-in sent Twitter share prices soaring (The New York Times). Musk is clearly motivated—at least in part—by First Amendment free expression. From his Tweet on March 26: Given that Twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy. What should be done?
