Musk finally acquired Twitter in a $44 billion deal after a series of turns and twists. Subsequently, the CEO, CFO, and Policy and Legal Chief of Twitter left the company. With the aim to make Twitter more financially stable, the world’s richest man who’s worth $200 Billion has called the shots, it is believed.
However, coming back to Formula 1, Musk recently tweeted about implementing F1’s super fast pit-stop speed to Tesla’s service. He wrote, “Excited to work with Tesla Service to enable same-hour service as often as possible! Applying Formula 1 pit crew techniques to Teslas.”
This shows the impressive speed F1 pit-crews have over everyone, all around the world. Usually, people with cars have this complaint about getting their car fixed, which causes significant delays. Probably this is the reason why the world’s richest man resorted to Formula 1’s most iconic aspect, which can change four tires in under 2 seconds.

As Elon Musk took over Twitter, criticisms poured in from all over. The business magnate implemented a rule to charge $20 per verified account, which later was reduced to $8. This news was quick to get viral among the user base.
However, it was Volkswagen that took more drastic steps. The German automakers, who own Audi and Porsche, directed all their subsidiaries to stop paying Twitter for their advertisements. Audi and Porsche have an active link with F1 as Audi is set to enter the sport in 2026 and Porsche are yet to find out a way to enter the sport after their deal with Red Bull Racing fell apart.
