“Holy Moses! It’s happening!” – Elon’s earthquake explained
Tesla CEO Elon Musk offered to buy 100% of Twitter a little over a week ago, sparking immense controversy. Musk made this offer just a few days after buying up a 9.2% stake in the Bluebird company, to become the owner of the largest stake in the company. The 50-year-old CEO has offered to pay for the entire transaction of around $40 billion through cash to Twitter. Musk, the richest man in the world, is offering a massive premium of $54.20 per share in cash. How Musk plans to acquire that much cash is still unknown.
“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.” -Musk said in a statement.
Twitter seems to be adamant to take up the offer, and a few of the major shareholders of the Bluebird company have outright declined Musk’s offer. Twitter has even imposed the ‘poison-pill’ policy to counter Musk’s takeover. A final decision is yet to be declared by the Twitter board.
