Elon Musk: How the world's richest person bought Twitter

It was a cool evening in late March in San Jose.

A hastily organised meeting had been arranged at an Airbnb to host the world's richest person.

The meeting was a big one for Twitter. Elon Musk had recently become Twitter's largest shareholder. Now there was talk that he wanted to join the company's board.

When Twitter's chairman, Bret Taylor, arrived at the venue it was not quite what he was expecting.

This "wins for the weirdest place I've had a meeting recently", he reportedly texted Mr Musk.

"I think they were looking for an Airbnb near the airport and there are tractors and donkeys," he told him.
