Hi everyone,
You won't have missed that Elon Musk is buying Twitter. As Charlie Warzel put it: "The single steadfast rule for being alive right now is: Do not bet against the dumbest possible outcome."
So next Tuesday, 3rd May we're organising a conversation in collab with Tortoise Media: "Is Elon Musk a good billionaire?"
TICKETS:
Get free tickets with code TXPGUEST. (Look out for the 'have an invite code?' box.)
Email sebastian.jones@tortoisemedia.com if you have any problems, he'll make sure you get a free ticket.
Join us at 6pm for free beers, drinks and nibbles (with a 6.30pm start) at Tortoise's newsroom in Fitzrovia. The event will also be streamed for those who can't join in person.
SPEAKERS:
Jacob Mchangama: Danish lawyer, human-rights advocate, and author of “Free Speech: A Global History from Socrates to Social Media”
Phumzile Van Damme: Former South African MP, Founder of the South African Elections Anti-Disinformation Project, and member of the Real Facebook Oversight Board
You: Tortoise ThinkIns are live, unscripted conversations where everyone can join in, not just the people at the front of the room.
Hope to see you next Tues,
Andrew & Tom
