Elon Musk could buy Twitter today

Elon Musk has recently made headlines by offering to buy Twitter for $43 billion. At first it seemed that Twitter would defend itself and reject the sale, but now it seems that the negotiations could end today.

According to Bloomberg, “Twitter is in the final stretch of negotiations on a sale to Elon Musk”according to one source. “The social media company is working to hammer out the terms of a transaction and could reach a deal on Monday if negotiations go smoothly.”

It all started when Musk bought a 9.2 percent stake in Twitter, following a survey he conducted on the platform asking users if they believed the company “rigorously adheres” at the beginning of that “Freedom of expression is essential to the functioning of democracy.” Then he added: “The consequences of this survey will be important, please vote carefully”.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic and the massive dissemination of false information by former President Trump on the platform, the platform has implemented some measures to warn users about disinformation, but the user does not like that. “free speech absolutist” Musk.

Musk infamously turned down a position on Twitter’s board of directors after he scrambled to complete a background check, leading some to speculate this is his way of getting around it.

Musk said he would have to reconsider his position as a shareholder if the company did not accept his offer, which could be seen as an illegal tactic to pressure him into accepting. However, it is the pressure from shareholders that seems to have made Twitter re-examine its offer and reopen negotiations.
