Elon Musk is the present CEO and owner of the social media giant Twitter. However, it wasn’t a smooth ride when the Tesla CEO first decided that he wanted to buy the platform. At first, he expressed his desire to buy one of the most popular social media platforms. However, after a while he declared that he isn't interested anymore and won’t be buying Twitter. What followed next was a legal battle between Musk and Twitter that finally ended with the tech billionaire taking over the social media platform. A post about him explaining his Twitter takeover and comparing it with a ‘soap opera’ was recently posted online. The post is a Twitter Space conversation between Elon Musk and a Twitter user who goes by DogeDesigner.
