ElonMusk has offered to buy Twitter for $43 billion, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission , the boss of Tesla and SpaceX described his move as a “best and final offer,” adding that the platform has “extraordinary potential” that he would be able to unlock.
Musk, who has 81 million followers on the platform, said in the letter he believes the company should go private because in its current form it can neither thrive nor serve free speech. Musk said this was his “best and final offer” and that if it is not accepted, he will need to reconsider his position as a shareholder.
Early on Thursday morning, he confirmed his move on the company, writing in a tweet, “I made an offer,” and including a link to the filing. A frequent critic of the platform, Musk earlier this month acquired a 9.2% stake in the company, making him Twitter’s single largest shareholder.
