Twitter Inc. TWTR 3.93% is in discussions to sell itself to Elon Musk and could finalize a deal as soon as this week, people familiar with the matter said, a dramatic turn of events just 10 days after the billionaire unveiled his $43 billion bid for the social-media company. The potential turnabout on Twitter’s part comes after Mr. Musk met privately Friday with several shareholders of the company to extol the virtues of his proposal while repeating that the board has a “yes-or-no” decision to make, according to people familiar with the matter. He also pledged to solve the free-speech issues he sees as plaguing the platform and the country more broadly, whether his bid succeeds or not, they said. Mr. Musk made his pitch to select shareholders in a series of video calls, with a focus on actively managed funds, the people said, in hopes that they could sway the company’s decision. Mr. Musk said he sees no way Twitter management can get the stock to his offer price on its own, given the issues in the business and a persistent inability to correct them. It couldn’t be learned if he detailed specific steps he would take, though he has tweeted about wanting to reduce the platform’s reliance on advertising, as well as to make simpler changes such as allowing longer tweets.

Lol this is technique to choke elon. Elon just has big mouth and he won’t buy lol They just trapped Elon in his own game. Earlier when elon bought 10% stake and wanted to be in the board of directors. Twitter agreed and asked him to join. Elon declined. This time too as per conduct if someone wants to buy all the outstanding shares at a premium. Board needs to at least consider the offer and discuss. So they are doing it to sense how serious elon is. But elon will back out like previous move lol. His objective was to create chaos if twitter board denied to consider his request.

My thinking as well. I don’t see this going thru

You are giving yourself too much credit and good for nothing Twitter BoD even more. BoD had a big liability of lawsuits if they rejected Elons offer outright. Game has just begun and Elon will take it to logical end.

Except for “Tesla Disinformation” everything else will be considered freedom of speech

The idea is to turn around and sell to DTJ or bring him back to the platform 😜😊

Well… the US President should never have been banned, regardless of if they agree or disagree with what he says.
