This is the first acquisition made by Twitter under Elon Musk.

[{"selector":"#anim-9dc06cc0-7e23-41fc-85c2-5e8a5c25213a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(109.17721%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f5bb6203-372a-441c-a525-6b8de54d42db","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ddc24dd6-9144-4a52-9ef5-df7dae734e88","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Elon Musk aims to turn Twitter into a super app that will offer a spectrum of online services, including payment options.

[{"selector":"#anim-776c47e1-385a-4a84-9b61-3ed95b4c9cab","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.13158%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a76efb29-103c-4b9c-a66f-1cec3c3c5940","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-da67f3bd-34a9-477a-a881-114dfef68370","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Earlier, Elon Musk registered Twitter under the parent firm X Corporation.

[{"selector":"#anim-fbbe3c7b-61d7-472b-bcf1-14d155f2c65f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(117.76315%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2503fb3e-831a-4c21-83ed-dc5e11d3f100","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-37d0afa3-7f20-4973-b9ca-13bc585ba811","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The super app X would sort of mimic the Chinese App We Chat that offers multiple services.

[{"selector":"#anim-ea4ef7b3-5ec5-4099-a5f3-f011abde47c3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.78947%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cb96cafe-ca0c-485f-add7-c53f328c1ebc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b85bdfad-a96d-447c-961f-e58ec41356e7","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Axios reported Twitter is paying in cash and stock, while the price of the deal was not disclosed, it is being reported that it is tens of millions of dollars.

Elon Musk earlier entertained the idea of integrating a dating app service into Twitter as well.
