The Twitter deal is done, and Elon Musk is now, officially, “Chief
Twit.” Bloomberg Opinion columnist and “MoneyStuff” writer, Matt
Levine, has been analyzing the deal (and the drama) over the past
seven months. Now, Matt and Kara consider what the future of the
social media platform might look like under Musk. They discuss
whether Elon’s seemingly genuine belief in the utility of Twitter,
paired with his business and engineering acumen, will be a game
changer for the company. And they discuss how his principles will
drive big decisions ahead, including potentially reversing the
platform's ban of Donald Trump. Before the interview, Kara
and Nayeema talk about the violent attack on Paul Pelosi, husband
of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and the rising tide of violence against
politicians. Plus, Kara gives Elon some unsolicited advice on the
business, including how to avoid a version of Twitter that would
make even Kara quit her favorite social media platform. Do
