Elon Musk buys Twitter, pays the previously suggested price

However, Twitter shareholders have not yet looked forward to it, according to media reports, and the company has begun preparing for the possibility that Musk will attempt a hostile takeover and try to circumvent its governing bodies. The use of a “poison pill” strategy was also considered, in which other shareholders would be given the opportunity to acquire additional shares at a discount, which would reduce Musk’s share and significantly increase the cost of buying the remaining shares.

However, Elon Musk recently confirmed to the SEC (Securities And Exchange Commission) that he had secured all the necessary funds to buy Twitter, which should be more than enough to acquire all the necessary shares out of a total package of about 800 million. At the same time, the amount of $ 46.5 billion fell here, which is 3.5 billion more than the above-mentioned amount, which applies to the entire Twitter, of which Musk already owns its 9.2 percent. Currently, the market capitalization of Twitter is $ 37.1 billion.

And it seems that those $ 46.5 billion secured have forced Twitter’s management to look at the whole thing from a new perspective, as it is possible that the $ 54.20 per share it previously offered may not really be the “final and best offer,” as Musk previously pointed out. If he wanted to spend all the money on the remaining shares purely theoretically, he could go up to about $ 64 per share. Twitter shares were at a similar value last summer, but then fell to $ 33.
