Elon Musk is known for using Twitter to hype everything from colonizing Mars to Tesla's autopilot features. Now, he's attempting to buy the underperforming social media network for $44 billion.

Here's how Musk's bid for Twitter came together, how the social media company could change under his watch, and how the deal could still fall through.
