Elon Musk has almost offered double the value for all Twitter shares to buy 100% of company , what would it mean if he buys it?

[888theGreat]

I think he is too environmental and I don't like the pot use , but you must like what he is doing to the left. Now CNN and others are calling him racist , homo hater , and sexist like they always do.

It means free speech for all Americans not just Liberals and Democrats

It means Facebook will have to change policies too to compete

It means , Democrats will seek revenge on Musk by using taxes and regulations

It means Trump will be back on Twitter

It means Truth will be allowed on social media and people can decide what to do

It means Democrats will have harder time controlling what people say and getting elected

All of the above

By the way if his offer is turned down, they have to explain why to share holders and the share holders would lose a butt load of money.

Twitter stock (as of 14 April 22 AM) was valued at roughly $46/share. That's when Musk made the offer. His offer was for $54.20/share or roughly 20% more than the company's value. It's a pretty substantial amount. From what I heard it comes out to about $30 billion. AND that offer was for cash, not an equal value in shares of another company, or something like that.

A LOT of liberals are freaking out over his plans. Go figure. I guess Twitter's "free speech" platform doesn't offer real FREE speech for non-liberals and Musk plans to correct that situation.

It went up as soon as they heard he was buying , but it was low

I just read an article on Fox News stating the current stock price at $45.02, down $0.77 at the market close yesterday. (FYI... the US stock market is closed today - Good Friday.) Musk's offer to Twitter to buy the company outright was worth $43 billion, not the $30 billion dollars I initially stated.

Twitter is now between a rock and a hard place. Their board must either support their shareholders by accepting a 20% increase in their holdings for selling the company, or stand on their idiotic version of a "free speech" platform.

Regardless which way Twitter goes, they've exposed themselves as outright LIARS when it comes to free speech.

I'm not really convinced that Trump would actually come back to Twitter even if it was available to him. He has already thrown in with "Truth Social" and if he were to go back to Twitter, it would pretty much nuke Truth Social.

If he uses it for the great of good I’m all for it. But I don’t have a verdict until I see a final result. Hope he’s got a good action plan that makes a difference to the world and not just his pocket.

Everyone keeps saying he could start his own social media platform. Yes he could but Twitter already has name recognition. It's like wanting to make a burger resturant and buying McDonalds. You would make infinite times more money than Jim Bobs Burgers.

I picked C but I would say that Trump will be back too. The other choices remain to be seen. I don't think Facebook and the others will change their policies.

It's all a flex to shut down the account following his private jet movements. He tried buying the account but turns out it was cheaper to buy twitter.

I'm not sure why he wants to get involved with taking over Twitter. His decision but I think he should just stick with his science and technology stuff.

free advertising for his cars

[Likes2drive]

Well the stocks went up for Twitter when they heard that so it must be something good

[XXblack88]

Well he definitely has a target on him now.
