Elon Musk, currently the largest stakeholder in Twitter, wants to become the only stakeholder in the company. The Tesla CEO has now offered to takeover the micro-blogging site and has offered a value of $54.20 per share, against the company’s current $45.85 share value. Twitter has said that it has received “an unsolicited, non-binding proposal from Elon Musk to acquire all of the Company’s outstanding common stock for $54.20 per share in cash.”
In his offer, Musk has said that he will not just be a mute shareholder in Twitter. “My offer is my best and final offer and if it is not accepted, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder,” he said in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission filing. In his notes, Musk has noted that he is not playing the back and forth game, and wants the deal to be closed soon. The filing shows Musk’s note to Twitter’s board, where he again expresses interest in taking the company private. Here are five points that Musk made in his offer to purchase Twitter in an all-cash acquisition of his favourite social media platform.
