Elon Musk has dropped hints at his rationale for taking a 9.2% stake in Twitter Inc. on the platform itself, starting shortly after Jack Dorsey stepped down as chief executive officer.
The Tesla Inc. boss posted a meme on Dec. 1 superimposing incoming Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal’s face onto Joseph Stalin’s. The doctored image depicts Agrawal, formerly Twitter’s chief technology officer, purging Dorsey, as Stalin did to Soviet secret police chief Nikolai Yezhov.
