In 2022, Elon Musk became the largest shareholder of Twitter, securing a 9.1% stake in the company. When it came time to finance his $44 billion acquisition of the platform, Musk reached out to Larry Ellison—Oracle’s co-founder and a trusted ally—with a straightforward text request. Ellison didn’t just express confidence in Musk’s vision; he backed it with a massive $1 billion investment, contributing to a larger $7.14 billion funding round finalized on May 5, 2022. It’s incredible to think about committing $1 billion through a simple text message. It just goes to show: your network truly is your networth.
