Musk is incredibly rich because he continues to pursue the impossible. Musk sits atop the wealth pyramid not because he’s a copycat, or because he has prudently invested in index funds, but because with each venture he has tried to usher a widely dismissed or unseen future into the present. Musk is taking the underperforming social-media company private-at least for a few years-to put his contrarian stamp on it. Musk sees possibilities for Twitter that the rest of us don’t-possibilities so distant from the Twitter we know that Mr. But a more realistic scenario is that Mr. His much-publicized bid stirred little competition, perhaps because some feared getting into a bidding war with someone of his net worth.

Back then, financial transactions looked very different from today.
