A brief history of Elon Musk's special relationship with Twitter
CNN
Elon Musk — once again — has everyone on Twitter talking.
But this time, the talk is about Twitter (TWTR) itself. On Monday, the company disclosed that Musk has purchased 9.2% of its shares, making him Twitter's largest individual shareholder. And on Tuesday, Twitter announced that it is appointing Musk to its board. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO also confirmed he plans to push for changes at the company.
"Looking forward to working with [Twitter CEO] Parag [Agrawal] & Twitter board to make significant improvements to Twitter in coming months!" Musk tweeted Tuesday morning.

One year ago this week, Joe Biden was president. I was in Doha, Qatar, negotiating with Israel and Hamas to finalize a ceasefire and hostage release deal. The incoming Trump team worked closely with us, a rare display of nonpartisanship to free hostages and end a war. It feels like a decade ago. A lot can happen in a year, as 2025 has shown.
