Consider the following:
- Elon Musk has a net worth of $219B [1] Jeff Bezos has a net worth of $171B [1] Twitter has a market cap of $40 B [2] New York Times Co has a market cap of of $7.58 B [3] Bezos Purchased the Washington Post for $250 M [4] Musk purchased 9% of twitter for $2.89 B [5]
- It is therefore not completely out of the question that a chaos agent like Elon Musk might attempt to purchase some sizeable portion of the New York Times Co. If he spent the same amount on NYTCo as he did on his 9% of twitter, my napkin math gives him over a third of the company.
- So how likely is this to happen in the next five years?
