One of the most well-known acquisitions of the year is Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter. Even the former T-Mobile CEO begged for a job after the takeover, but the new owner of the business turned him down. Elon Musk's initial action on Twitter was to pay for the blue checkmark. It took some time for the Tesla CEO's $44 billion purchase of Twitter to be finalized, but now he is in charge. With the original Twitter board members removed from their posts, the billionaire is currently restructuring the new organization. Elon tweeted that Ukraine could continue to use Starlink for free. But it's Elon, so who knows?

A recent huge exodus from the company has occurred as Musk tries to reform it to make it more profitable. Some people find it questionable since one of his first actions was to charge for the verification check. The fact that the checks were initially given out by the Twitter team rather than purchased was viewed as contentious. Many people are now expressing their opinions on his leadership after this action drew conflicting responses. One of these comes from the former CEO of T-Mobile who chose to not only share his opinions but also to essentially apply for a job. He offered to help operate Twitter, but his proposal was quickly rejected. The Wrap reported that John Legere, a former T-Mobile CEO, proposed to lead Twitter instead of Elon Musk. While presenting himself, he advised Musk to delegate management of certain business operations to someone else.

Musk might stop managing day-to-day operations and "content filtering," according to Legere. Additionally, he suggested that another entity should be in charge of the support product/technology team. He promoted himself in the same tweet by calling himself "expensive" and adding, "So is what you paid for Twitter." Additionally, Musk was advised to "please provide [a] leadership example of how to tweet" by the former T-Mobile CEO.

I like both you and Mike! It’s just that Twitter at its core is a software & servers company. The technology needs to evolve rapidly, which requires a technologist.

Musk rejected the former T-Mobile CEO's offer a few hours later. Legere received a message from another user that read, "You can't even run Tmobile," along with a clown emoji.
