Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter in 2022 for $44 billion is detailed in an upcoming biography by Walter Isaacson. Musk initially planned to join Twitter's board but decided to acquire the company after disagreements with CEO Parag Agrawal. The deal was marked by public drama, a lawsuit, and a second offer to finalize the acquisition. Musk accelerated the closing of the deal to fire Agrawal and other executives before their stock options vested.
