New York/London Elon Musk has made an offer to buy Twitter and take it private, saying he believes it needs to be"transformed."
According to an SEC filing, Musk has offered to acquire all the shares in Twitter he does not own for $54.20 per share, valuing the company at $43.4 billion. That represents a 38% premium over the closing price on April 1, the last trading day before Musk disclosed that he had become Twitter's biggest shareholder, and an 18% premium over its closing price Wednesday.
Twitter responds to Elon Musk not joining its board 03:03Musk did not disclose how he intends to fund his purchase. He said he has hired Wall Street giant Morgan Stanley as his financial advisor for the transaction. Although Musk is the richest person on Earth, most of his $274 billion net worth is tied up in his holdings in publicly-traded Tesla and privately-held SpaceX, and he has been reluctant to sell shares of Tesla beyond what he needed to sell in order to pay taxes.
I do not respect their person money. It is a number..not awareness and not morality. Ie. Nothing. Power? Only if you worship false gods.
If I were Elon, I would think twice about buying Twitter for that much. What if this war gets worse. If natural or purposely electric are effective. There would be few with a way to even access Twitter or anything else !!!
Maybe Elon will buy CNN after it goes bankrupt.
🤮
When is SECGov going after him for attempting to manipulate stock prices again? He was warned but obviously not taking them seriously enough.
Why so he can let trump back in? If Twitter sells to ElonMusk I'm closing account and never to return.🙋♀️
Elon Musk met with trump’s aides- Bannon & Miller. Due to that meeting,he seems to be a trump supporter. It appears to look like one of his goals is to buy twitter to get trump back on twitter (before 2024) CNNnewsroom CNN MSNBC maddow TODAYshow Morning_Joe morningmika ⤵️
💔
He buys it, I’m gone.
hope he does
elonmusk would do the world an incredible favour if he brought fox and just shut it down. Leave twitter alone
I hope he blocks CNN when he gets it.
If you needed a little boost to stop using it…let’s make it a waste of money for him
Maybe he should give us our money back. And pay taxes.
Musk has to stir the Pot somehow every day!!!!
Can end world hunger btw
Nope.
you Lucky guys got an offer too 😂😂😂
If he would help the poor people and who can't afford paying fir medications or hospitalization. What this world
If Musk buys Twitter so many users will stop tweeting it will be the same as Trump's failed effort.
Twitter....Twitter...Elon wants Trump back on Twitter.
And I'm here worried about my next electric bill ,must be nice.
The fact that elon is so unpredictable, will makes aquiring twitter an unstable space for it's users
This is all about a billionaire being able to control the narrative surrounding him. Elon is no better than all the other billionaires trying to bleed us dry.
I'll definitely delete my account if he is successful in his takeover.
I thought Elon doesn't actually have that much money and it's all stocks hmm?
Why doesn’t he just start his own Twitter and use the 43 billion to feed the starving?
He’s about to own the media
I didn’t know it was forsake.
Elon stick with the cars and the stars. We cannot condemn Putin and reinstate Conald.
Is that true ?
So a man that owns LESS than 10%.. threatening to pull out if he doesn't get 100%.. I say CALL HIS BLUFF!! He knows he'll stay.. its where the money is 🤔🤨🤨
Please!!! And shut it down
If it happens, I hope Twitter can come up with an alternative platform, so when we all close our Twitter accounts, they can start anew while Twitter dies a painful death. Sorry Elon. His hurt feelings could cost him $43 Billion 😑
The question is why ………….
FOR PUTIN, PUTIN'S GENERAL NEED TO CALL HIM & WISPER INTO HIS EAR TO GET OUT OF INNOCENT UKRAINE SOIL 🇺🇦. RISE AND GET UP UKRAINE & DEFEAT ALL ENEMIES. AS ABOVE SO BELOW. SO MOTE IT BE...
Bye.
Am I the only one that sees this as dope? elonmusk take this shit to infinity and beyond.
Hi
Lol I hope I does when everyone quits it will be nice to get that 43bn dollar slap in the face when Twitter becomes as worthless as Parler
Finally, a chance for Free Speech. Maybe CNN will follow....
You know all the commercials is what makes CNN unwatchable. 4 out of 5 times I try to watch I turn to face 2 to 5 mins worth of being sold to, to get to a couple of mins of news. Work on that so I get news occasionally with the the sales pitches.
Regium change sleepy jo Regium change installation of economics terrorist showbaz sharif given that sleepy jo installation of hunters for regium change purposes sleepy jo knows regarding assets of the hunters and this is shameful sleepy jo regium change while Americans suffer
Someone trying to bring his old pal back 🙄
sydthesquider Like he cares about the 10% of left wing liberals. I'm with you elonmusk !
Free speech to break the back of the left wi g elites like CNN
I’m not here, I’m out
Any truth to the rumor that Elon is offering 15 cents to buy CNN?
Elon is great!
🤬🤬
I knew from the start Anything he touches, he buys
America doesn’t need Another Russian evil Christian out to destroy the country…
Why does free speech bother you woke democrats? Nothing but conservative views have been blocked on twitter and any negative truthful post about a democrat gets removed. You have election integrity like you hate free speech. That’s the only way you can get your message across.
If he does, then Twitter will loose its purpose.
On what level is it permissible for Musk to own Twitter?
Musk's idea of 'free speech' is anarchy. Twitter isn't perfect and it could use a few fixes, but Musk would give every troll, screwball and pathological liar a protected platform from which they could not be ejected. BTW, Twitter's new reporting format is terrible.
Like any spoilt brat who throws a tantrum and has never heard 'no' a day in his life. Of course he tries to buy his way out of all his problems
If you guys enjoyed watching the “Sleepy Joe” Skit, then you should watch this skit for the Prime Minister of England.
He really is Lex Luthor.
He should throw in CNN as an add on.
Free speech already exists. The ability to lie for profit or political gain is what they are after. Manipulation of of stupid minds that’s what musk and GOP are after. Young people already see Twitter as a dinosaur. Musk is behind.
Seems like Elon also wants to control the idea of what free speech really means…ironic. Some pple feel misinformation should be banned but Elon thinks even misinformation should be accepted. Incredible.
He’s going to force the government to regulate all social media. This will have the opposite effect he is looking for.
Look at what happened to Tumblr, that’ll be tweet’s future If it happens
Good
Kakanood ko lang ng ‘Return To Space’ sa Netflix tapos ito agad. 😅
How to drive up the price of a stock so that you can sell and profit. Elon Musk should be going to jail for this. It's astonishing what he gets away with.
His he trumps agent? SCARY
Buy Twitter and it’s bye Twitter
This is your get it trending today InvestigateMuskForSecuritiesFraud SECGov
This comes after the failure of Trump's Truth Social platform and is likely an attempt by Musk to get Trump unbanned & back on a popular social media platform.
No!!
Hell no. Who wants to start a new platform that’s not Truth Social and free of Musk?
If he does - ✌🏾
Elon musk is the real hero!!!!!
HERO
Please don’t sell out to him! It will destroy twitter!
Please help anyone with what you can for the needs of the wars of Ukraine 🇺🇦🙏 5375414107230004 🇺🇦UA273220010000026206302411442 🇺🇦GB57CLJU00997180518306🇪🇺 5375419900480185 🇪🇺5375418811509215🇺🇸
This reaction to Musk is mostly jealousy, he is a good business man, he will improve the process, read if he stops now he has made 400 million, sounds smart to me
Instead of using that wealth to help make the world a better place, he wants to use it to buy Twitter. Another reason why we need to tax billionaires more and close all the loopholes.
I’m just here for the liberal meltdown.
Well, this can't be good...
No, please, no.
Did he end worldwide hunger already?
Highly distressing. He wants to reinvent Twitter as a neutral platform. The MAGAs will storm this place and spread their democracy threatening America First ideals.
No thanks. I can live without Twitter if it means a megalomaniac is taking over.
Say no, Twitter!
Can you just shut the app down lol. I'd like that
If he buys it and make it Qanon and far right platform alot of people will leave
I'm sure that tweet blew up Twitter
🤮
Interesting
The world will be a better place when elonmusk goes away.
Americans would leave Twitter, form another platform, and leave Twitter to the the criminals and traitors who tried to overthrow the government. Then like Trump's failed platform Twitter will fade away.
Money is talking✊
i delete my account if he control Twitter
This is certainly big news for our friends in the world
“This will run twitter” lol nothing will change. Some accounts may come back, but it’s not going to change anything.
Twitter don’t be bullied by Elon Musk! Walk way so no deal!!
Oh this would be so great... Imagine no nameless faceless Community Standard Nazis sensoring speech they disagree with... This would be so great, please make it happen
Damn man, buy shiba
If Musk takes over, he will open the door to trump and friends once again. I really don’t think I want to see that again. js
This man is like batman or theavengers or superman. Every time there is a problem, he is there with a solution!
If he does, and God help us I pray he doesn't reinstate Trump's account...if he does we are doomed to become another Russia, and isn't that what GOP, and Christian Nationalists want, and think that will be such a better USA? God forbid!
ElonMusk once he own Twitter, the truth will come out!!
There goes the left being able to say anything and it being ok.
