Send us Fan MailHere’s today’s letter:I am lowkey stressed about Elon Musk and Twitter. At first when he said he wanted to buy Twitter I thought he was just trying to get the attention that he craves, but it turns out he was serious and I just read that he’s going to buy Twitter. I know on a rational level that he’s not the first billionaire to buy a media company, if that’s what Twitter is, but I feel stressed because I see Twitter as having been instrumental to some of the social causes that I care about. All of this has me thinking about something I heard on an early episode of the show, if Elon Musk becomes one of Twitter’s leaders, would that change Twitter’s ESG score?Links from today's episode:https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2021/1/27/the-social-media-myth-about-the-arab-spring https://www.vox.com/2018/7/18/17576302/elon-musk-thai-cave-rescue-submarinehttps://fortune.com/2021/11/09/elon-musk-tweets-tesla-shares-hertz-funding-secured-twitter-sec-shiba-inu/#:~:text=In%20May%20last%20year%2C%20Musk,The%20shares%20promptly%20slumped%2010%25.
