Elon Musk finally agreed to buy Twitter. What comes next?

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Guest: Will Oremus, Washington Post journalist Elon Musk offered to buy Twitter in April for $54.20 U.S. a share and, after signing to buy it, proceeded to act like a man who clearly wanted out of the $44 billion deal. Musk and Twitter were set to go to court, but the business giant and tech investor sent word last week he plans to honour the terms of the purchase and close the sale. What happens now? Plenty of employees are fearful for their jobs and some of the moves Musk said he wants to make. Wanting less moderation and more free speech, could that lead to more growth? This episode was produced by Alexis Green, Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar. Audio sources: Bloomberg
