Will Musk takeover Twitter or will he back out of the deal while flipping the bird?

The wealthiest human in the known universe is at it again and this time Axios is here to keep you informed. Erica Pandey takes over hosting duties from Jonathan Swan and is ready to give you the rundown of how Musk's bid to buy Twitter came about and what to expect in the lead-up to next month's trial.

How It Happened: Elon Musk vs. Twitter tracks just how all roads lead to Elon and covers everything we need to know about the eclectic executive and sheds light on what he was thinking when he offered to buy Twitter for $44 billion or $54.20 per share.

Hear from members of his inner circle like LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman. Understand how Musk toys with financial markets and the Security and Exchanges Commission. Get a glimpse into the companies Musk runs to understand just how he manages to find success across several different industries. 

With all of this, we get to wrap our heads around how he'll run Twitter if he doesn't succeed in backing out of the purchase agreement he made a short six months ago. 

Love him or hate him, it’s hard to deny that Elon Musk is one of the most captivating and enigmatic human beings of our time. His unique view on the world, its problems, and how to go about solving them are not only ambitious, they're designed to get your attention.
