As soon as Elon Musk’s $44 billion, very public conquest of Twitter began, I pined for a very particular moment in the battle. It was the moment, of course, when I could get my hands on Twitter’s 235-page proxy statement, filed with the S.E.C., which would provide the rarest and most intimate view of what it was like to be in the eye of the Elon hurricane, all in the clear and artful prose of white shoe attorneys. Absent a chatty banker or lawyer (an increasingly rare commodity these days), it’s probably the most we’re going to learn, in the short-term anyway, about what happened.
