The 11 Wildest Moments from Elon’s First Week at Twitter
Just before midnight last Thursday, Elon Musk tweeted “the bird is freed.” The message confirmed once and for all that he’d finally, officially, really, actually purchased Twitter. It marked the end of a long saga during which Musk spent months trying to wriggle out of buying the company, leading to a public feud with Twitter and a multi-billion dollar lawsuit settled only when he agreed to close at his original $44 billion offer price. Musk, whose Twitter bio now reads “Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator,” set to work.
Almost immediately, chaos ensued.

He generated headlines multiple times a day, drawing widespread criticism, speculation, and lots of celebratory online hate speech from admiring fans. Lest you forget, he’s also simultaneously the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and The Boring Company.
If you’re luckier than I am, you found better things to do than keep up with the news. But it’s been a wild ride. Here are the 10 craziest moments from Elon’s first week at Twitter.
