How Elon Musk's Twitter takeover plans shook Wall Street and social media
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.
