This obviously didn’t materialise as Jack Dorsey is too busy running Block, his parent company which focuses on empowering startups, which consists of Square, Weebly, Cash App, Jay-Z's Tidal, Stitch Labs and much more.! With the recent acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk, to add to his already impressive empire of billion and trillion dollar companies, what more could Elon ask for? Twitter’s African presence in Ghana hasn’t yet made the impact native and Diaspora africans thought it would make just yet, apart from the clever billboards posted across Accra in 2021 and 2022 during the festive period, in collaboration with Ghana Twitter. However, Could a trip to Africa for Elon Musk be the game changer? Let us know your thoughts! Join the conversation on our Social Media handles.

Following the success of Bolt Food, Glovo , Jumia, Menufinder, Hubtel, ShaQExpress and so much more, is Uber ready to open up its Food delivery services on Ghanaian shores? In October 2021, you may recall I did an episode exploring how Bolt had taken over Uber in terms of Market share in Ghana. So why would Uber bother to enter an already saturated market of food delivery services in the country? Now according to sources at Tech Nova, there are rumours brewing that Uber Eats is preparing to come to Ghana. Would we see Uber finally enter the food delivery market in Ghana this year in 2022, or could this be something that may never happen, or even be planned for further down in the future?
