A brief history of Elon Musk sabotaging Matt Levine’s time off

• April 4th, 2022: Programming note: Money Stuff was supposed to be off today but, Elon. So here we are.
• April 7th, 2022: Programming note: Money Stuff will be off tomorrow, back on Monday. Unless Elon Musk does something weird I guess.
• April 12th, 2022: Programming note: Money Stuff will be off the rest of the week for a little spring break, back next Monday, April 18.
• April 15th, 2022: “On Tuesday I wrote a column saying it was unlikely that Elon Musk will buy Twitter Inc. On Wednesday I left on a family vacation. On Thursday, for my sins, Elon Musk announced an offer to buy Twitter for $54.20 per share in cash. 420 is a weed joke.”
• May 13th, 2022: Programming note: Money Stuff was supposed to be off today, but then my boss, Elon Musk, called me in to work anyway.
• May 17th, 2022: Programming note: Money Stuff will be off tomorrow, back on Thursday. Unless. You know.
• July 9th, 2022: Programming note: Ugh, here we are again, huh?
• July 12th, 2022: Programming note: Money Stuff is going to be off for a few weeks starting tomorrow. I planned this before Elon Musk tried to cancel his Twitter deal, and I am not a monster, so there will be occasional columns as Musk or other news require. But it will not publish every day; we’ll resume normal service sometime in August.
• July 13th, 2022: Programming note: Lol.
• July 18th, 2022: Programming note: Don’t feel bad about my vacation or anything. I am trying to take some time to focus on other work, so Money Stuff will be published infrequently for the next few weeks. 
• October 4th, 2022: Programming note: Money Stuff will be off tomorrow, back on Thursday.
• October 5th, 2022: Programming note: I apparently have some very bad sins to atone for.
• October 6th, 2022: Programming note: If you are Elon Musk, please stop reading this newsletter right now. You have like six companies to run! Get back to work. For the rest of you: Money Stuff will be off tomorrow and Monday, back on Tuesday.
• October 7th, 2022: Programming note: This isn’t working, so let’s try something different. Money Stuff will be back with special editions this afternoon, this evening and at midnight tonight. It will also have several special editions per day over the weekend and on Monday. I don’t know how I am going to fill all this space. I hope news happens, frequently! For instance, it would be enormously helpful to me, as I struggle to find things to write about, if Elon Musk was doing weird things every few hours of this long weekend, so that I could write about them. If you know Musk, you might pass that request along for me. “Elon, Matt Levine really wants you to keep changing your mind on Twitter, so that he can write about it,” you could tell him. I’m sure he would sympathize, and I just don’t know what I will do this weekend without more drama from him
• October 24th, 2022: “I guess this thing is closing this week! It is a good thing I have booked a lavish nonrefundable vacation to start Saturday morning…. I’m kidding, this is a joke about Musk constantly doing wild Twitter stuff every time I say I’ll take a day off Money Stuff, there is no vacation, frankly if I have to write an emergency Money Stuff this Saturday because, like, North Korean hackers intercepted Musk’s closing payment, I’ll be perfectly happy.”
• October 27th, 2022: Programming note: Money Stuff will be off tomorrow, back on Monday. Unless …
• July 11th, 2023: Disclosure! A long time ago I used to work as a very junior mergers-and-acquisitions lawyer at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz. The hours were way too long, but I remain fond of the firm and the people there. Meanwhile I have no real personal connection to Elon Musk except that (1) he keeps doing weird stuff financial stuff for me to write about, which I love and (2) he keeps doing it while I am on vacation, which I do not love. And so I went away on Friday and Musk did a thing. He sued Wachtell, which represented Twitter Inc. when Musk tried to get out of his deal to buy Twitter, claiming that Wachtell’s fee for that litigation — $90 million — was too big. I just want to be clear up front about my biases.
