Elon Musk to Acquire Twitter

Great news. While this whole saga has built a sense of a trainwreck waiting to happen, I think this is the best result that everyone involved could have walked away with.

I have no doubt about Elon's intentions about what he plans to fix about Twitter the product, but I certainly don't expect things to go smoothly with wrangling Twitter the organization to actually achieve those results.

Tesla and SpaceX were built from the ground up with his personal principles in mind, and I think it will be quite the roller coaster for him to bring in the same sense of passion, discipline, and efficiency to Twitter. Twitter's inability to address many of its own longstanding issues is surely caused by a lack of will to do so. Turning around this ship will be no easy feat.

Elon: Look at me. I am the captain now.
