Man, oh man, this whole elon, musk twitter saga just keeps getting better and better and better and the newest update. There is elon musk, literally just offered by 100 of twitter, literally the entire thing now. Obviously this could have big implications not only on twitter and the twitter shareholders, but big tech and maybe even a little bit of freedom of speech. So let's dive into everything that you need to know so.

Here's the skinny on the situation in the early morning on thursday april 14th, elon tweeted out, i made an offer and the tl dr version of that is right here. Elon musk offers to buy twitter for 43 billy, so it can be transformed as a private company, and this is continuing the rhetoric of hey his push for having a digital forum. That truly cares about freedom of speech and, i think, he's even doubling tripling quadrupling down. Obviously, putting his money where his mouth is in the actual filing itself, some interesting details that i want to quickly go over.

So on april 13th. 2022: it's a non-binding proposal to acquire all the outstanding stock he's. It's an all cash offer! That's a lot of cash! 5420, which then equates to 43 billion and obviously, depending on the date that you're comparing twitter's stock price to. It is obviously a very nice premium, 54 premium relative to january 28th and 38 premium to april 1st.

And this is why it's important - and we have some interesting - i guess - communication between elon and then also the chairman of the board brett taylor. This is his message to him. I invested in twitter, as i believe in its potential to be a platform for free speech around the globe and i believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy. However, since making my investment, i now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form.

Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company. I have to admit in my own personal estimation, i 100 agree with this before when we were talking about what is elon going to do. There was one case where maybe he was a troll and he was just going to forget about it. He could have been slowly buying more shares off of the market, but then the company could have poison-pilled him as in diluting it, so he would have never gotten to the voting share that he needed well.

It looks like he went with option number three of just. He was tendering an offer which you're seeing right here and it seems like he's driving forces. He says we need a digital platform that actually puts freedom of the speech at the utmost imperative and to me, that's sounding pretty good. As a result, i am offering to buy 100 of twitter for 54.20 per share in cash 43 billion a 54 premium over the day before elon began, investing in twitter and 38 premium over the day before the investment was publicly announced.

My offer is my best and final offer and if it is not accepted, i would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder. Twitter has extraordinary potential. I will unlock it. What's interesting.

Is this final sentence here? I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder. A little bit of a threat, and then we have more information on what that best and final offer is. I am not playing the back and forth game. I have moved straight to the end.

It's a high price and your shareholders will love it. 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. This is not a threat a little bit of a threat.

It's simply not a good investment without the changes that need to be made and those changes wouldn't happen without taking the company private. So here's what's going on elon, is trying to buy all of twitter 43 billion 54 20 share, taking it private and turning it into something that actually cares about freedom of speech calling out the management saying hey. They are not the right people for the job and i have to admit it looks like our boy. Elon is absolutely dunking on twitter and particularly their leadership team.

Obviously these are my own opinions. I would love to get your thoughts in a comment below you.
