well the big headline that we're following it today.
This was quite the news before we came on air at two PM Eastern Elon musk
of course, being offered to buy twitter, why not?
Just a few days after taking back is offered to join the social media giant's board
musk offering to buy the company outright for $54.20
a share.
That comes out to $43 billion dollars in cash.
Damascus Twitter's biggest shareholder owning slightly more than 9%.
We learned that just a few days ago,
and meanwhile in his first public appearance
since his bid to buy Twitter became public
Musk said that he's not sure he'll actually be able to buy the social media company
musk. Also saying that he made the offer to make sure people are able to speak freely
as twitter has become the internet's de facto town square and
certainly the mouthpiece for Elon musk over these past few years
we must make you the comments during a ted talk event in Vancouver
and on twitter were to accept musk's offer.
He says the plans to take the company private would ensue
and twitter saying in a statement that its board will preview
it, will review the proposal and make a decision from there
