Elon Musk told banks that agreed to help fund his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter Inc that he could crack down on executive and board pay at the social media company in a push to slash costs, and would develop new ways to monetize tweets, three people familiar with the matter said.
the Tesla wikipedia article currently has better coverage of his “founder” status than last time I saw it; it used to just say “the company considers him a founder” but now makes clear that he was not initially involved but somehow won the right to call himself a founder in a lawsuit settlement with the actual founders.
