The private text messages of Musk were included in a new court filing on Thursday. The texts provide a fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse of 21st century dealmaking in the tech sector. The texts were first published by New York Times reporter Kate Conger.
Some of the texts are just friendly jokes. When Musk texts his brother on April 9, 2022, about an idea to create a new social media app on a block chain, it will have serious consequences. Two days later, it was made public that he didn't want to be on the board.
It is interesting to see Musk asking Ellison if he is interested in helping take the company private, with Ellison offering up $1 billion like it is the spare change he would find in his cushions to make a run for some snacks. Ellison should invest $2 billion, according to Musk.
If you want to read all of the texts, they are available here. There are a lot of blacked out redactions for things you would expect, like addresses and other identifying information, but there are some curious redactions where it is not clear who is talking to Musk.
There are times when Musk is texting with two people at the same time. The text exchanges between Elon and his brother, Kimbal, as well as his brother's boss, Parag, on April 9, 2022. While texting his brother about starting a new company, he was also texting his friend about not wanting to serve on the board.
Gizmodo has embedded some of the URLs in the court filing.

He said, "Emil Musk."
Russia Today was banned by the EU. They've been told to block their address.
I like their news very much.
There was a lot of bullshit.
The director of the company is Antonio Gracias.
You are absolutely correct about this. Absolutely agree with you.
The ping of the American constitution should make us allow it.
He said, "Emil Musk."
Absolutely.
When someone you don't like spouts what you think is bullshit, free speech is more important.
Antonio Gracias is the head coach.
I am in agreement with you. We need to fuck defend with our lives or we will be lost to the darkness.
I apologize for the swearing. I am looking forward to it.
He said, "Emil Musk."
I am with you, I loved it. We need to defend with our lives or we will be lost to the darkness.

TJ'saffiliation is not clear.
Can you buy it and then get rid of it?
The United States is going insane.
It's crazy that the Babylon Bee got suspended. The two of us were talking about it. It was not real. Everyone is so puritanical.
Can you make it completely free-speech by buying it?
There is a lot of stupidity coming from the social networking site.
He said, "Emil Musk."
Change it to support free speech.

Jack Dorsey is a co-owner of the micro-messaging service.
There is a need for a new platform It can't be a business. This is what caused me to leave.
He said, "Emil Musk."
Ok, let's get this out of the way.
How should it look?
There is a person named Jack Dorsey.
It must be an open source protocol that is funded by a foundation that doesn't own the protocol. It is similar to what Signal has done. It can't have an ad model. Governments and advertisers will try to control the surface area if you don't have it. It will be attacked if it has a centralized entity. This isn't complicated work, it just has to be done right so it's not affected by what happened to twitter
He said, "Emil Musk."
Interesting idea.
There is a person named Jack Dorsey.
I left the board in May and have not been back since. I plan to fix our mistakes. A protocol was used to start the social networking site. It should not have been a business. That was the root of the problem.
He said, "Emil Musk."
I would love to help if I can.
There is a person named Jack Dorsey.
I wanted to speak to you about it after I was clear that you care so much and could help. I tried to get you on the board, but the board said no, so I left.
He said, "Emil Musk."
After I was clear, I wanted to talk with you about it, because you care so much, and could help in many ways. When the activist came in, I tried to get you on the board, but the board said no.
Do you have time to discuss something?
There is a person named Jack Dorsey.
It's Bout to go out to dinner but can't for a while.
13 minutes after.
There is a person named Jack Dorsey.
I think the main reason is that the board is super risk averse and saw adding you as more risk, but I only had one vote, and 3% of the company, and no dual class shares. Set up difficult. There is more we can talk about.
He said, "Emil Musk."
Let's talk more.
I think it's worth doing something new and moving it in a better way.
There is a person named Jack Dorsey.
It is probably the best option. I don't know what to think. It's open.
He said, "Emil Musk."
I think it is the best option. I don't know what to think. It's open.

Dpfner is the CEO of the media group.
Why don't you purchase something? It's for you. Establish a real platform of free speech. It would make a difference to democracy.
He said, "Emil Musk."
It's an interesting idea.
Dpfner is a person.
I'm serious, that's right. It isn't impossible. It will be enjoyable.
April 4, 2020.
Joe was a co-owner of Palantir.
I'm excited to see the stake. They are saying "back door man" Hope you can make a difference. The lefties on the board probably want plausible deniability since they don't get full reporting or a report of the censorship decisions.
He said, "Emil Musk."

The name of the person is redacted.
You have beenCONGRATULATIONS. Some of the things that could happen are laid out in the above article. It will be difficult, but it will be done. It's going to be a fight. Let's start the fight.
It will be a delicate game of letting rightwingers back on Twitter and how to navigate that, especially the boss himself, if you're up for that. I would also lay out the standards early but have someone who has a savvy cultural/ political view to be the VP of actual
A type of person that is named after a famous person.

Joe Rogan is a radio host.
Are you going to get rid of the censors?
He said, "Emil Musk."
I will give them advice which they can either follow or not.
April 5th, 2022.
The CEO of the social network is Parag Agrawal.
We are appointingelonmusk to our board. It was clear to me that he would bring value to the Board after talking with him. What's the reason? He is both a passionate believer and intense critic of the service which is exactly what we need in order to be stronger in the long-term. I welcome you!
He said, "Emil Musk."
Sounds like it's going well.
Are you sending out soon?
The person is Parag Agrawal.
He said, "Emil Musk."
It's cool.
The person is Parag Agrawal.
Excited!
April 5th, 2022.
There is a person named Jack Dorsey.
I would like to thank you for joining.
He said, "Emil Musk."
It's absolutely true. I'm hoping I can help.
There is a person named Jack Dorsey.
I'm pretty sure it's true. Parag is an amazing person. The board isn't good. You should always come here to talk.
He said, "Emil Musk."
It's a good time to talk.
There is a person named Jack Dorsey.
Any time.
Roughly 1.5 hours passes.
He said, "Emil Musk."
Great conversation and thanks!
There is a person named Jack Dorsey.
It's always! You're doing a great job. It has been a long time since I want it. When I heard it was possible, I was very emotional.
He said, "Emil Musk."
I loved it always. You're doing a great job. It has been a long time since I want it. When I found out it was possible, I was very emotional.
If something dumb is happening, please be vocal. That would mean a lot to me.
There is a person named Jack Dorsey.
I know you will do it.
On April 9, 2022, there will be a new date.
He said, "Emil Musk."
I have an idea for a social media system with both payments and links. To register your message on the chain, you have to pay a small amount. Free speech is guaranteed because there is no throat.
The second piece of the puzzle is a massive real-time database that keeps a copy of all the messages sent to or received by you and your followers.
The third piece is a mobile app that can access the database in the cloud.
This could be a big deal.
Kimbal Musk is one of Elon Musk's brothers.
I want to know more. The voting powers on Web3 are incredible and verified. There are a lot of things you could do here for this.
He said, "Emil Musk."
There is a need for a new social media company that is based on a payment system.
Kimbal Musk is the CEO of the company.
Is it possible that they would pay with a token associated with the service? To post, you would have to put the token in your wallet. It doesn't have to cost a lot to grow in value.
If you used your own token, you don't need to advertise it because it's a pay for use service at a very low price.
It will be a huge business if it scales up. I don't like ads.
He said, "Emil Musk."
It will be a big business for the benefit of the users. I don't like advertisements.
Kimbal Musk is the CEO of the company.
There are some great ads out there. If you want to vote on ads that add value, you must only vote if you want to. There is no charge for the ads and the advertisers would have to stake a lot of token. Creatives will come out and the ads can be politically incorrect.
Crowdsourced voting rights could also be used to kick out scam artists. People are promoting a scam that you are giving away. There are a lot of bad people around.
On April 9, 2022, there will be a new date.
The CEO of the micro-messaging site is Prag Agarwal.
It's my responsibility to tell you that it's not helping me makeTwitter better in the current context. I would like you to give me a perspective on the level of internal distraction and how it hurts our ability to do work. The company needs to get to a place where we are more resilient and don't get distracted, but we aren't there right now.
He said, "Emil Musk."
Do you know what you did this week?
I'm not going to join the board. This is not a good idea.
An offer will be made to take it private.
The person who wrote the book is Prag Agrawal.
Is it possible for us to talk?
On April 9, 2022, there will be a new date.
There is a co-CEO of a company on the board of a company.
Parag talked to me about your text conversation. Is it possible to talk?
He said, "Emil Musk."
It is expected that a private offer will be made.
There is a person named "Breth Taylor."
The text thread was visible to me. Do you have enough time to comprehend the context? Currently, I don't.
He said, "Emil Musk."
Talking with Parag won't fix Twitter.
There needs to beastic action.
Restructuring should be done as a private company as it is difficult to do as a public company.
Jack has an opinion as well.
There is a person named "Breth Taylor."
Is it possible for you to talk this through with me? Since you joined the board, it's been about 24 hours. I want to understand about the sudden pivot and make sure I understand your point of view.
He said, "Emil Musk."
I can talk tomorrow even though I am about to leave.
There is a person named "Breth Taylor."
I would like to thank you.

He is a tech investor and the host of a show.
Your offer should be raised.
$55.21
It's the perfect counter.
Blue check marks should not be limited to the elite. What is it about that that makes it democratic?
The Kingdom wants a word.
The back of the envelope has something written on it. Revenue per employee will be $625K in 2021.
If 3k employees are used instead of 8k, the revenue per employee will be $1.66 million.
He said, "Emil Musk."
It was emphasized that the back of the envelope was important. The revenue per employee will be $625K in the year 2021.
Potential for improvement is insane.
Calacanis is a person.
The first day of the new year.
Make your blades sharper.
20% voluntary departures are required for 2 days a week.
The road map is beyond.
There is a premium feature and there is zero.
There is a list of dog shit features in Blue. Paying to turn it off is worth it.
He said, "Emil Musk."
It's an insane piece of shit.
Calacanis is a person.
It is possible that we don't talk on social media.
He said, "Emil Musk."
I was just thinking.
There is nothing different from what I said in public.
Parag is on a vacation in Hawaii.
Calacanis is a person.
There's no reason to shorten it in your first tour.
I think that's right.
Shouldn't he be in a war room right now.
He said, "Emil Musk."
Does it count if you drink fruity cocktails at the Four Seasons?
Calacanis is a person.
Is it possible to think about the emoji?

Joe said that he was from Lonsdale.
Governor DeSantis just called me and said the public is rooting for you because you're angry at that board. Let me know if you want to talk to him. I would love to see you guys over the next few days.
He said, "Emil Musk."
Yes, it's cool.
April 20th, 2022.
He said, "Emil Musk."
Interested in taking part in the deal?
Larry Ellison is the founder of the company.
Yes...thumbs up.
He said, "Emil Musk."
The dollar size is roughly what it is. The deal is oversubscribed so I have to reduce or kick out some people.
The man is Larry Ellison.
Whatever you recommend, a billion.
He said, "Emil Musk."
It's up to you, whatever works for you. I would recommend $2 billion or more. I would rather have you than any other person.

It has a lot of potential, and it would be fun.
He said, "Emil Musk."
Yes, absolutely.

There are 100 things to say in 100 words or less.
April 23,2022.
He is a tech investor and the host of a show.
Everyone wants the same thing, and they will be patient and understand any changes. It's a good faith bunch.
The dipshits spent a long time on social media to give people exactly what they wanted.
It's possible to split revenue with video creators onYouTube.
Video creators could get 100% of their ad revenue up to $lm.
He said, "Emil Musk."
Yes, absolutely.
Calacanis is a person.
5 teams, 5 metrics. Uptime, speed 2 are legacies of the game. The membership team is trying to get users to pay for real name memberships. A response to customer service is included. Users that have connected a bank account are more likely to make payments. The creator team wants to give creators the best percentage split in the industry. The team of transparency made the moderation understandable.
Everyone agrees to a year one sprint and comes back to work within the first 60 days.
The organization needs to be hard rebooted.
No one is setting priorities in a way that's ruthless. 12,000 working on something? Not a single project being canceled?
Rent excess space when you relocate to Austin.
He said, "Emil Musk."
If this works out, would you like to be a strategic adviser?
Calacanis is a person.

The total amount of payments is $250 to 500b.
No one has been able to join. It's difficult to estimate. 500k paid memberships a year?
He said, "Emil Musk."
You are able to read minds.
Calacanis is a person.
I would like to be in the game coach.
There is a joke in the picture.
I would love to work as the CEO of Twitter.
