Billionaire troll Elon Musk said on Saturday (Nov. 19) that he would be reinstating Donald Trump to the platform. The decision is only the latest, eyebrow-raising move from Musk, who purchased Twitter in October for $44 billion after trying for months not to purchase the social media app. Since his purchase, Musk has fired thousands of employees and has inspired thousands of resignations—all while throwing cold water on the theory that billionaires must be sound business people.
