Who is Lex Fridman? MIT research scientist offers to run Twitter for free, Elon Musk warns of ‘bankruptcy’
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: An MIT research scientist has offered Elon Musk to pass on the control of Twitter to him with no salary expectations and purely to "turn it around." The Twitter CEO responded and claimed that the microblogging platform has been "in the fast lane to bankruptcy" and asked the man to reconsider his wants. Ever since Musk's takeover, Twitter has been the epicenter of all sorts of discussions.
The questionable offer was made by Lex Fridman who tweeted on Sunday, December 18, "Fun suggestion @elonmusk: Let me run Twitter for a bit. No salary. All in. Focus on great engineering and increasing the amount of love in the world. Just offering my help in the unlikely case it's useful." To Fridman's surprise, the billionaire tech mogul replied, "You must like pain a lot. One catch: you have to invest your life savings in Twitter and it has been in the fast lane to bankruptcy since May. Still want the job?" The CEO has established that the company he paid $44 billion for is heading toward bankruptcy. Fridman responded, "Yes. We'll turn it around."
