The 'CBS Mornings' co-host defended the tech mogul, who has been making headlines as Twitter's largest shareholder.
Musk has sparked an avalanche of news this past week, beginning with an SEC filing revealing he purchased 9.2% stake in, Inc., making him the largest shareholder in the social media giant. He was then set to join Twitter's board of directors, which he apparently declined according to an announcement made Sunday evening.
Many speculate Musk's sudden reversal from joining the board of directors signals that he may be pursuing a hostile takeover of Twitter instead.On Monday, CBS News correspondent Vladimir Duthiers attempted to explain Musk's rationale or perhaps a lack thereof. "He spent the weekend also disparaging and criticizing Twitter, pointing out that some famous people don’t tweet that much," Dokoupil said."And I don’t know, do you want that out of your biggest shareholder?"NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 7: CBS Mornings Co-Host Gayle King broadcasts live from Times Square.
Bloomberg Opinion senior columnist and MSNBC political analyst Tim O'Brien called Musk's moves towards Twitter"bad news" for free speech. CNN's left-wing media correspondent Brian Stelter said there's a"fear" about Musk becoming a Twitter shareholder.
