ELON MUSK WANTED TO BUY SUBSTACK AFTER TWITTER PURCHASE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Elon Musk reportedly had plans to combine Twitter and Substack. He saw acquiring Substack as a way to aid Twitter's subscription service. Substack executive Chris Best declined the acquisition despite Musk offering him a chief executive position at the combined company. Substack pivoted to politics soon after the offer as some of the largest election pundits found a home on the platform.
