Musk bought Twitter after playing Elden Ring
Musk started plotting a hostile Twitter takeover in 2022, after deciding a board seat “wasn’t enough,” Isaacson writes. Then he flew to Grimes’ hometown, Vancouver, Canada, where he played Elden Ring, described by Isaacson as a “war-and-empire-building game,” on his laptop until 5:30 a.m.
“Right after he finished,” continues Isaacson, “he pulled the trigger on his plan and went on Twitter. ‘I made an offer,’ he announced.”
What do you think? Does this all reveal the inner machinations of genius? Let me know in the comments.
