Elon Musk to Lead Twitter Temporarily After $44 Billion Takeover: Report

News 18  

Elon Musk is expected to become Twitter’s temporary CEO after closing his $44 billion takeover of the social-media firm, a person familiar with the matter said on Thursday, as the billionaire inches closer to securing funds for the deal. Tesla shares dropped 8% on Thursday, as investors fretted that Musk’s involvement with Twitter could distract him from running the world’s most valuable electric car maker. Earlier on Thursday, Musk listed a group of high-profile investors who are ready to provide funding of $7.14 billion for his Twitter bid, including Oracle’s co-founder Larry Ellison and Sequoia Capital. Musk would have to pay a $1 billion termination fee to Twitter if he walked away, and the social media company could also sue him to complete the deal.
