Unless you've been living under the proverbial digital rock, you've no doubt read at least a few news pieces, and more than one deep think-piece, on the wild amusement park ride that Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter has seemed to become. In just a few short weeks after taking over the reins, Musk's Twitter has seen a nearly 50% reduction in its workforce, a remarkable exodus of advertisers, a likely investigation of the company's compliance with an FTC agreement it entered into years ago and the looming specter of a potential bankruptcy case.

These 10 marketing lessons from Musk's takeover of Twitter will help you make the most of big changes in your company's future, whether that's a takeover, merger or any other sudden and risky growth opportunity.
