Magic Mike 2,763 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 LOL [FORBES] - Billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has offered to buy Twitter, take the company private and build it into a platform for “free speech,” according to a filing made to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Wednesday, days after he purchased around 9% of the company and then turned down an offer to join its board.

RahrahWitch 6,985 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Billionaire Elon Musk has offered to buy Twitter for $41.39bn, saying his proposed takeover is needed to uphold free speech. The Tesla chief executive's offer price of $54.20 a share was 38% higher than the closing price of Twitter's stock the day before his investment of 9.2% in the company was publicly announced. "I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy," he said in a letter to Twitter chairman Bret Taylor. "Since making my investment I now realise the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form. "Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company." https://news.sky.com/story/elon-musk-offers-to-buy-twitter-for-41-39bn-12589926 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis 8,391 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 This vampire would offer to buy Twitter just to make a point. But can't make a few billion dollar donation to Ukraine? Yes I know he sent some terminals. But that's also more PR for his company. Don't get me wrong. He's a very accomplished person. But it just amazes me how greedy these people are.

TheFame Monster 9,015 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 All of these people in America that act like the Twitter, a private company, is a threat to their first amendment right need to go touch some grass. They can say what they want with or without Twitter, they just can’t handle the idea that they have no one to listen to them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

skaxboy 6,909 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Why not buy Truth social or any of those other “free speech” nonsensical sites? Can he not just build something from the ground up with that kind of money? I understand why people like him but I don’t think he’s the visionary his clout chasing ego thinks he is.
