Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk made overtures toward Twitter, Inc. (NYSE:TWTR), which expectedly was met with resistance from Twitter's board. Since then, Musk has been posting cryptic tweets, suggesting he could become belligerent.
What Happened: The Tesla CEO tweeted late Friday "The Barbarians are at the Gate," which to some might suggest gibberish. "Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco" is a 1989 bestseller which chronicled the leveraged buyout (LBO) of tobacco and food giant RJR Nabisco, and was written by investigative journalists Bryan Burrough and John Helyar.
