He wants it, he doesn't want it... And now he wants it again. Elon Musk is returning to his original offer to buy the social media platform Twitter - of his own free will. This, after he had strongly opposed the purchase recently.

Now he has: On Tuesday, Elon Musk announced that he wants to buy the social media platform Twitter after all. And he did so at the original price he had agreed with Twitter back in April: 54.20 US dollars per share - or a total of 44 billion US dollars for the entire company.

Why is Elon Musk now returning to his [original purchase offer](]?

Bad cards in court

Should Twitter become the western "WeChat"?

But until we pay for the croissants at the Beck with our Twitter handle, Elon Musk will probably have to deal with Twitter's bot problem, which he had vehemently criticised in the run-up to the trial.

«I want it all! The terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles!» – these words spoken by an iconic American TV celebrity could have been mine. It's a take on life I also apply to my job. What does this mean in concrete terms? That every story has its charm; no matter how small, large, exciting or trivial. The more eclectic the mix, the better.
