There is something missing from Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) – or, to be more specific, a certain someone whose tweets have moved markets, rankled President Joe Biden and become the source of inspiration, amusement and outrage across social media. And, not surprisingly, it has spurred a new trending catchphrase on the site: Where is @elonmusk?
What Happened: Elon Musk has not tweeted since June 21 when he shared a now-discredited photo of a 7-11 gas station sign supposedly selling regular and diesel fuel at $7.11 (the photo is actually a 2021 snapshot of a test for a new electronic sign). And while a week without Musk tweets may not seem like Earth-shattering news, the 100 million-plus followers of the Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) chieftain and Twitter owner-to-be are curious on this prolonged absence.
