Business Insider · 1y

According to a new book called "Battle for the Bird," Elon Musk began buying Twitter shares after CEO Parag Agrawal refused his request to ban an account that tracked his private jet. Musk complained to Agrawal about the account in January 2022 and eventually became Twitter's biggest shareholder by April. Despite his initial frustration, Musk later stated his commitment to free speech and chose not to ban the account. However, the account was eventually banned a month later.
