Without a doubt, Tesla Motors CEO, Elon Musk, is quickly becoming one of the most influential people in the world. The business mogul recently made some very bold moves in the market. To be precise, he is planning to buy social media giant, Twitter, for $43 billion. In light of this, Joe Gibbs Racing driver, Denny Hamlin reacted to the news.

Of course, no deal has been struck yet, but Musk has made the bold offer.

According to the #11 driver, the Tesla CEO is playing a high-stakes game of chess with Twitter. An ace in his sleeve is the fact that he already owns a 9% stake in the social media website. Brad Keselowski was another person who commented on the matter.

In the event that Twitter elects to not take him up on his $43 billion offer, Elon Musk has many cards to play. For example, he could sell his stake and make a huge profit.

What lies ahead for Denny Hamlin?

For the moment, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver is attempting to clinch his maiden Cup Series championship. Fortunately, he is off to a good start with a win under his belt. However, the veteran driver knows that only half the battle has been won. If he really wants that elusive title, he must survive and succeed in the Playoffs.

There have been so many occasions where Hamlin has been so close, yet so far. Unfortunately, he is not getting any younger, so the pressure will be on him to try and break the jinx. The closest he ever came to winning the title was in 2010, where he finished 2nd to Jimmie Johnson. Now, the 41-year-old is going to try again to win the elusive Cup Series title.
