Musk’s Twitter bid is oh so cavalier
Elon Musk’s $46 billion bid for Twitter has set the cat among the pigeons. If he succeeds, with the backing of a private equity/credit sponsor – who knows, maybe Apollo will be the one? – it will take private one of the world’s biggest social media platforms. But could it prove to be a difficult (poison) pill for private equity to swallow? After all, Twitter is an essential piece of democratic infrastructure.
