In this moment of crisis, the only would-be savior to step up is also one of Twitterâs harshest critics: Elon Musk.

When Elon Musk posted a video of himself arriving at Twitter HQ carrying a white sink along with the message âlet that sink in!â it marked the end of a dramatic takeover. Musk had gone from Twitter critic to âChief Twitâ in the space of just a few months but his arrival didnât put an end to questions about his motives. Musk had earned a reputation as a business maverick. From PayPal to Tesla to SpaceX, his name was synonymous with big, earth-shattering ideas. So, what did he want with a social media platform? And was this all really in the name of free speech...or was this all in the name of Elon Musk? From Wondery, the makers of WeCrashed and In God We Lust, comes the wild story of how the richest man alive took charge of the worldâs âdigital public square.â
