Twitter’s acquisition finally happened, although someone realised how much he overpaid for it.

Elon’s first decision was to fire the CEO – Parag Agrawal – who overdelivered to the shareholders and underdelivered to the users. An expected decision, I would say.

Musk’s next focus: to increase the revenues while trying to build a super-app (e.g. WeChat), exploring this journey of how Twitter can make the next leap forward (i.e. blockchain).
