This week on The VergecastVerge editor-in-chief Alex Cranz takes the reins with deputy editor Dan Seifert, deputy editor Liz Lopatto and reviewer Allison Johnson to talk about Elon Musk buying a major stake in Twitter, this week’s gadget reviews and the introduction of QD-OLED TVs and gaming monitors on the market.
It’s been a wild week for Twitter, with Elon Musk buying 9.2 percent of Twitter and joining its board of directors to announcing an upcoming “edit” button for tweets. Liz explains why Elon might want to buy stock on Twitter and what power he would have in the company.
