What Elon Musk's Twitter Bid Says About 'Extreme Capitalism'
View Date:2024-12-23 22:18:49
Elon Musk wants to buy Twitter. His vision of the future may not pan out for the platform, but that vision represents what historian Jill Lepore calls 'extreme capitalism.'
Lepore, a Harvard professor and New Yorker writer, is host of the podcast The Evening Rocket, where she examines what she calls Musk's extravagant, "extreme" capitalism — where stock prices are driven by earnings, and also by fantasies.
NPR's Bobby Allyn also explains Twitter's effort to prevent Musk from gaining control of the company.
