Even the wealthiest can’t buy a crystal ball – but if they could, do you think Elon Musk would have gone ahead with the purchase of Twitter knowing what he does now?
None of us know the answer to that either, but when the wealthiest man in the world reportedly loses that title after taking on another company, you’d be forgiven for thinking that he might have given it a miss.
I first wrote about Musk buying Twitter in this column last May, saying: “Whatever Musk’s decisions, we can expect it to follow his disruptive pattern” – and that’s certainly how things have played out so far.
