Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales says Elon Musk’s ambitions for his newly acquired Twitter will be “very difficult” to achieve.
It comes as the tech billionaire finalised a deal to buy the social media giant for $US44 billion – equivalent to $AU61.3 billion. The acquisition by Mr Musk ends Twitter’s run as a public company since its first public offering in 2013 and will be one of the biggest acquisitions in tech history. “I mean, one of the most famous and incredibly talented Twitter trolls in history takes over Twitter – what could possibly go wrong,” Mr Wales told Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan.
