Elon Musk offers to buy Twitter
CNNNew York/London CNN Business — Elon Musk has made an offer to buy Twitter and take it private, saying he believes the company 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 $41.4 billion. Agrawal sent a memo to employees Thursday announcing that there would be a company-wide meeting Thursday afternoon to “discuss today’s news and what’s next.” “It’s important that we all come together today as #OneTeam,” he said in the brief notice of the meeting.” Musk ha been unusually silent on his plans for Twitter in the days since he declined the spot on Twiter’s board. It’s very possible that Musk won’t need to sell Tesla shares and instead could use them as collateral to borrow the money he needs to buy Twitter, Ives said. This time, Musk’s $54.20 per share offer for Twitter also includes “4.20.” — Donie O’Sullivan, Brian Fung and Brian Stelter contributed to this article.
