Elon Musk Twitter Deal Timeline

After publicly criticizing Twitter for censorship and its bots issue, Musk joined the company’s board. However, soon Musk extended an offer to Twitter’s board to buy the company at a $44 billion price. This was equivalent to a price of $54.20 per share.

Musk however reneged on the offer as he complained that Twitter underreported its bots problem. Twitter sued Musk for tanking the company’s stock by reneging on its offer. Eventually, Elon Musk informed Twitter that he will buy the company at the original price.

Musk wants to make Twitter censor-resistant so that people can share their views without interference. He wants Twitter to be a common ground so that the platform is not split between far-left and far-right views. He also wants to solve the issue of bots on Twitter and make Twitter’s code open-source.

Musk engaged in humor as the deal came close to being done. Musk updates his Twitter profile and called himself the “Chief Twit”. He also brought a sink to the Twitter headquarters.
