I know that my last two articles have been about this subject, but it is too massive in the social media realm to let go without diving into each thing that happens with this subject. As my other articles have stated so far, the last thing that we knew about Elon and Twitter is that he owned roughly 9.2% of the companies stock. Well, a few days ago on the 14th of April it was reported that Musk was willing to pay roughly 44 billion for twitter. However, twitter's board of directors did not want to sell twitter to Mr. Musk, and did what they could to keep him from buying it. However, with Musk willing to pay 44 billion, which comes out to 54.20 per share, the board of directors had a obligation to hear out the shareholders of the company. The reason for this is because since twitter was a publicly traded company, the board of directors have an obligation to take an offer as crazy as Mr. Musk's. That is simply because they would make the shareholders a crazy amount of money, and they could not let emotion get involved with this decision. So far there has not been too much other than the board of directors really does not want to sell to him, but they know they have an obligation to talk to their shareholders about this because of how much money they would make off the sale of twitter. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
