Elon Musk offers to buy Twitter for more than $40bn (The Guardian)

Tech entrepreneur makes offer of $54.20 a share in cash to 'unlock potential' of microblogging site.

When Musk offered to take his electric carmaker Tesla private in 2018 he offered to buy the shares he did not already own for $420 a share, saying he had “funding secured” for the deal. “My offer is my best and final offer and if it is not accepted, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder. That’s not something the firm will want hanging over it.” The SEC found against him over the tweet and Musk agreed to submit his public statements about the company’s finances to vetting by its legal counsel. But let’s not forget, Elon’s view of simply voicing opinion has been seen as reckless by regulators in the past,” he said. In a letter to Bret Taylor, Twitter’s chair, Musk said the site was not thriving as a company or a tool for improving freedom of speech, and “needs to be transformed as a private company”.

Elon Musk Makes Twitter Offer: Live Updates, News and Reaction (The New York Times)

His takeover bid at $54.20 a share comes just weeks after he became the company's largest shareholder.

The possibility that Mr. Musk might move to buy the company outright arose this week, when Twitter announced that he would no longer join the board. When Elon Musk mulled taking Tesla private in 2018, he posted on Twitter to tell the world about it. When Twitter’s chief executive said Mr. Musk would no longer join the board, that agreement was severed, allowing Mr. Musk to act as any other shareholder. “If the deal doesn’t work, given that I don’t have confidence in management nor do I believe I can drive the necessary change in the public market, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder,” Mr. Musk said in the filing. But the price has mostly slumped since then, falling to about $33 a share last month. And those changes won’t happen without taking the company private.” And when he challenged President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia to one-on-one combat last month, he broadcast it on Twitter. It would value the company at about $43 billion. I will unlock it.” “Twitter has extraordinary potential. “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,” Mr. Musk said in the letter to Mr. Taylor sent on April 13. Mr. Musk said this was a “best and final offer,” representing a 54 percent premium over the day before he began investing in the company in late January, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

Elon Musk offers to buy Twitter for $41 billion (CNA)

LONDON :Billionaire Elon Musk has offered to buy Twitter for about $41 billion, just days after rejecting a seat on the social media company's board.

"This is a deeply hostile move from Elon Musk who has threatened to ‘reconsider’ his 9.2per cent stake in the company if his 100per cent acquisition offer is rejected. "From customer service to the monetisation of its user base, Twitter has been a serial underperformer for some time. "Elon Musk's offer shows that he has very little confidence in current management and does not believe he can drive the necessary change while Twitter is still public, particularly its free speech policies.

Twitter's Reply To Elon Musk's 'best And Final Offer' To Buy ... (Livemint)

Twitter's board will evaluate an 'unsolicited, non-binding' offer from Tesla chief Elon Musk to acquire the social media company, Twitter said Thursday.

He didn’t explain why, but the decision coincided with a barrage of now-deleted tweets from Musk proposing major changes to the company, such as dropping ads — its chief source of revenue — and transforming its San Francisco headquarters into a homeless shelter. Shares of Twitter jumped 11% before the market open. Analyst Daniel Ives of Wedbush said in a client note that he believes “this soap opera will end with Musk owning Twitter after this aggressive hostile takeover of the company." Musk’s latest trouble with the SEC could be his delay in notifying regulators of his growing stake in Twitter. Musk also has a history of his own tweets causing legal problems. Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company."

In other words, don’t buy Twitter or any other shares thinking you are on to a sure-fire winner. Although Musk has said he’s not playing the ‘back-and-forth game’ the question is whether he would up his offer if it is rejected, which is difficult to predict, just like Musk himself.” Of course, if someone were to buy at today’s price and the deal did not go through and the price then fell, they would be left with a trading loss. “The biggest change, however, would be that the company would go private, allowing more flexibility and requiring less accountability. “Mr Musk has priced his offer attractively at a significant premium to yesterday’s close making Twitter’s decision even more difficult. The shares rose on news of the offer to reach $51.
