Elon Musk & Twitter<\/h2>\n

Since its debut in 2006, Twitter has become one of the top social media networks with a massive presence worldwide. One of Twitter’s most notorious personalities is Elon Musk, one of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs. But did you know that Elon Musk once tried to buy out Twitter?<\/p>\n

The story began during 2018, when early reports suggested that Twitter had tapped a few banks to find potential suitors for the social media giant. Sources said that Elon Musk was one of the few investors that were interested in purchasing Twitter. He had reportedly said that he was looking for investments in social media and he had been keeping an eye on the potential Twitter acquisition.<\/p>\n

While there were no firm reports on an actually deal, Musk later seemed to confirm his interest in buying out Twitter. During a podcast interview, Musk said that he would have likely pursued the acquisition if he had the financial resources at the time. However, he eventually decided against it; he said he felt it was too costly and he was already heavily involved in other projects such as Tesla.<\/p>\n

Despite not being part of the deal, Elon Musk still has a huge influence over Twitter. He is one of its most popular users and his reach on the platform is unmatched. A few years ago, he was even accused of manipulating Twitter’s stock by manipulating its user base. He was eventually cleared of any wrong-doing.<\/p>\n
