Elon Musk vs. Twitter Part II: Empire of Risk (Axios)

PANDEY: The kind of groundbreaking, futuristic innovation Musk has accomplished seems to demand an enormous appetite for risk — or at least a very high ...

The seeming double standard is a function of a subtle yet crucial distinction in securities law. KRAMER: NASA is relying on SpaceX and its culture of risk to get people to the moon. MUSK ARCHIVAL: Some of the smartest people in history have said, have, have, have thought about it and said like free speech is important for a healthy democracy. DREIER: And what SpaceX has been able to do is normalize experimentation, normalize failures in a controlled way, right? Right now, the company is working on developing its Starship rocket in Texas and that involves blowing up a lot of hardware. Some states have decided they wanna lead in this technology, but what happens is when you have a patchwork of laws, that there's really no clarity on what is safe and what is not. So what you had is a real lack of leadership in the regulatory offices to govern this technology. I visited a lot of factories and most auto plants have a safety culture that includes rules for forklift operators and other drivers inside the factories. NHTSA is the government body that regulates Tesla and the rest of the auto industry for safety. So you don't know when someone is driving a Tesla by you whether that software is engaged or who's driving the car. PANDEY: In this episode, we lift the hood on two of Musk’s companies: SpaceX and Tesla. He’s done this with rocket launches and with the rollout of Tesla’s self-driving software.

Twitter shares halted after report Elon Musk deal to go ahead (BBC News)

Trading in Twitter shares is halted after a report stated the billionaire will now buy the business.

Mr Musk, a prolific Twitter user with more than 100 million followers, first offered to buy the firm for $54.20 per share in April. Could this be a legal strategy to delay a court case? Twitter is reportedly looking at Mr Musk's offer closely. But he added, that Mr Musk's ownership of the platform, a top venue for politicians and journalists to spread news and opinion, would still likely cause a "firestorm of worries and questions" in Washington and beyond. In the letter, attorneys for Mr Musk said he intended to move ahead to complete the transaction, pending receipt of the financing, and asked to end the legal fight. In a letter to the firm, Mr Musk agreed to pay the price he offered months ago before trying to quit the deal.

Closing Deals Over Text Isn't Just An Elon Musk Thing, VCs And ... (Forbes)

All five of Rippling's funding rounds were “primarily” conducted via text, CEO Parker Conrad tells Forbes.

The latter case, he says, likely requires “a Musk-level founder.” Typically, Bartlett affirms, texting comes into play at the “last one-yard line,” particularly now that the market downturn has allowed VCs to regain some negotiating leverage and spend more time doing due diligence. “By 2020, the top 25% to top 50% of venture-funded companies were getting this outside-in work done and taking the actual close process to text message,” he says. “It would feel weird and anachronistic to negotiate a fundraising round in some oak-paneled boardroom.” “Through March or April, it was very much an entrepreneurs’ market—investors were doing everything they could to get into the top decile of companies,” he told Forbes. Each of the five funding rounds software startup Rippling closed on its way to an $11 billion valuation was conducted primarily through texting, says cofounder and CEO Parker Conrad. But even for VC-backed startups that are still private, some founders and investors say the brevity and informality of the negotiation is more common than the public may realize.
