      <title>Elon Musk offers to buy Twitter for $41 billion
</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30283883/</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Billionaire Elon Musk has offered to buy Twitter for about $41 billion in cash, saying the social media company he has often criticized needs to go private to see effective changes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Musk’s offer price of $54.20 per share, which was disclosed in a regulatory filing on Thursday, represents a 38% premium to Twitter’s April 1 close, the last trading day before the Tesla CEO’s more than 9% stake in the company was made public.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The total deal value was calculated based on 763.58 million shares outstanding, according to Refinitiv data.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Musk rejected an offer to join Twitter’s board earlier this week after disclosing his stake in the company, a move which analysts said signaled his intention to take over the company as a board seat would have limited his stake to just under 15%.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“Since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form. Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company,” Musk said in a letter to Twitter Chairman Bret Taylor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“My offer is my best and final offer and if it is not accepted, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder,” Musk added.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Twitter did not respond to a Reuters request for comment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Musk has amassed over 80 million followers since joining the site in 2009 and has used the platform to make several announcements, including teasing a go-private deal for Tesla that landed him in hot water with regulators.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Musk said Morgan Stanley was the financial adviser for the offer.&lt;/p&gt;
