Elon Musk Offers $43bn to Buy Twitter

Elon Musk, the billionaire and founder of Tesla Inc, has offered $43 billion to buy Twitter at $54.20 per share in cash.

The amount values the social media company at $43 billion at the current price.

Musk said the microblogging platform needed to be transformed into a private company.

Our Correspondent reports that te development comes just days after he took a 9 per cent stake in the company, becoming its largest shareholder but rejecting a seat on Twitter’s board.

In a letter sent to Bret Taylor, Twitter Chairman, and disclosed in a regulatory filing on Thursday, Musk said, “I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy”.

“However, since making my investment, I now realise the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form. Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company.

“As a result, I am offering to buy 100% of Twitter for $54.20 per share in cash, a 54% premium over the day before I began investing in Twitter and a 38% premium over the day before my investment was publicly announced.

“My offer is my best and final offer, and if it is not accepted, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder.

“Twitter has extraordinary potential. I will unlock it”, Elon Musk noted.
