Carl Icahn became known as the “corporate raider” in the 1980s, after profiting from the hostile takeover and asset stripping of Trans World Airlines. Icahn is the founder and controlling shareholder of Icahn Enterprises (NASDAQ:IEP), which is run by the investment subsidiary Icahn Capital LP.
Icahn Capital was building a stake in Twitter (NASDAQ:TWTR) before Elon Musk offered to buy it in April, Icahn told CNBC, "The stock went down a little bit, so I was starting to buy stock, then I felt I would try to get on the board of it." Icahn also said that Musk was the perfect guy to purchase the social media platform and that if he was asked, he might have joined Musk by investing $1 billion.
Icahn started purchasing shares of Twitter at around $30 per share, putting over $500 million into the stock. He ended up accumulating an estimated profit north of $250 million, according to The Wall Street Journal.
In the third quarter, Icahn also increased his stake in Southwest Gas Holdings (NYSE:SWX) by roughly 30%, accounting for 2.2% of the portfolio.
