Elon Musk Submits Bid to Purchase Lou's List
William Grayson - November 2, 2022 - academics
After acquiring Twitter, billionaire Elon Musk has set his sights on University of Virginia staple Lou’s List. Musk plans to name his son, X Æ A-12, CEO of the website.
News of Musk’s offer has rattled the university, as many students fear that the tech mogul will ruin yet another perfectly good website. Rumors suggest that Musk will begin charging $8 to access course listings.
One student we interviewed, a fourth-year undergraduate in the College named Weston, expressed hesitation over the deal. “Lou’s List is a great resource for every student, and I worry about how quickly a [redacted] idiot like Musk will run it into the ground.”
The move isn’t universally opposed, though. Second-year Shawn, the president of the Cryptocurrency Club and a self-described “meme lord,” said that it would be “poggers” if Musk bought out the website.
