Look, I really don’t want to pretend like anything of any substance has happened with Elon Musk and Twitter. He hasn’t bought it yet, merely offered Twitter his original asking price, but only if the Delaware Chancery Court adjourns the case. Eric Talley, a Columbia law professor, told The Verge that though there may be delays because of this, “The lawsuit will not stop dead in its tracks. It will continue.”
Amid the Musk hoopla yesterday, a lot of people took to Twitter to, well, do what they always do when Musk makes headlines — act like he’s actually done the thing he’s saying he’s doing. (Which he almost never does.) And while a lot of people (men, mostly) spent a lot of time yesterday tweeting a bunch of weird Elon Musk fanfic, both for and against him, a couple things popped up that I did want to address.
“In a world where Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post, Elon Musk owns twitter, and Mark Zuckerberg and Rupert Murdoch own the rest of the public square, it seems like time to re-evaluate anti-trust laws and also how our information is concentrated and disseminated,” tweeted Justin Horwitz, media strategist and political activist.
