Elon Musk has bought almost 10% of Twitter shares, worth almost $3bn (bbc.co.uk)

Ah, so when he was talking about creating a new social network, it was this.

I'm wondering if he really wants to make Twitter open [1] or this entire thread and twitter-related surveys on his profile is just a justification for taking over this platform. I mean, Twitter is one of his most vital way of promoting his companies and would totally makes sense for him to ensure no one would shut him down and that he maintains broad reach on this platform.

Kind of pokes holes in the "Billionaire's money is all tied up in their business they can't just find a billion dollars to pay taxes" theory.
