EXPLAINED: Can Elon Musk Renegotiate a Lower Price For His Twitter Deal?

News 18  

Twitter Inc shares have plunged to their lowest level since the social media company agreed to sell itself to Elon Musk for $44 billion on April 25, raising questions over whether the world’s richest person will try to renegotiate the deal. That is halfway between the deal price and the price of the shares before Musk revealed he had amassed a stake in the social media company on April 4. Some investors, such as short seller Hindenburg Research, have speculated about whether Musk would try to negotiate a lower deal price before closing. He is contractually obligated to pay a $1 billion break-up fee, but Twitter would have to sue to get more than that in damages or try to force Musk to complete the deal.
