The $44 Billion Buyout 042622

Twitter has accepted Elon Musk’s $44B buyout deal. Musk, adamant that Twitter champions free speech, will take the company private. Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt discusses what Musk’s idea of free speech means for a safe, productive virtual town square, and investor Kevin O’Leary shares why this move might bring many former Twitter users back to the platform. One noticeably absent former Twitter user: Donald Trump. According to our own Joe Kernen’s conversation with the former President, Trump won’t be among the tweeters returning to the fold under Elon’s watch. Plus, Fidelity will now allow bitcoin in your 401(k).
