Twitter, Musk confirm plan to close $44 bn deal
San Francisco: Twitter said it has received a letter from Elon Musk to go ahead with their original deal of $54.20 per share (or $44 billion). Twitter shares went up 22 per cent after the news.
In a new filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Musk’s legal team has also asked the court to adjourn the trial and all other proceedings.
“We received the letter from the Musk parties which they have filed with the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission). The intention of the Company is to close the transaction at $54.20 per share,” Twitter said in a statement.
Musk tweeted: “Buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app. Twitter probably accelerates X by 3 to 5 years, but I could be wrong.”
The surprising development led to the micro-blogging platform’s share jump 22 per cent after it reopened as trading of Twitter shares was briefly halted.
