And earnest.
Yeah.
I want to talk about...
A narrative that Elon Musk glommed onto that seemed to propel him forward into the version of who he is right now on X, formerly Twitter.
And that was COVID-19.
COVID-19 made him a different kind of tweeter.
And it seems as if it might have led him to end up being the guy who bought the site.
On sites like Twitter.
So let's go to – let's actually fast forward through the saga of the purchase itself.
I remember Elon's purchase of Twitter being quite dramatic.
I do recall that some things he said or didn't say around this purchase led to him being investigated by the SEC.
Oh, I remember that.
Not just incompetent, but maybe like undeserving of a job.
Let's flashback to those early days of his ownership.
I remember he walked into Twitter headquarters with a kitchen sink, like as a joke, making a little point.
But he also, from day one, began to lay off hundreds of Twitter employees, no?
And then— Cuts that were challenged in court because I think he tried to deny the payouts that folks were guaranteed should they be laid off, no?
Oh, my goodness.
Yeah.
Hearing you all describe this email frenzy around Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter Now X and his layoffs, it sounds a lot like what he did when he was working in the federal government as the head of Doge.
