      <title>Elon Musk visits Twitter headquarters ahead of takeover deadline</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30302543/elon-musk-visits-twitter-headquarters-ahead-of-takeover-deadline</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Billionaire Elon Musk said he paid a visit to Twitter Inc’s headquarters in San Francisco on Wednesday, ahead of a court-ordered deadline to close his $44 billion deal for the social media platform.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Entering Twitter HQ let that sink in!” said the caption of a video that Musk tweeted in which he was walking into the Twitter office carrying a sink in his hands.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch    media--uneven  media--stretch'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;
    &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
        &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1585341984679469056?s=20&amp;amp;t=HTiEgOjDLpJhO8wMA8xajQ"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hours earlier, he hinted at being the company’s top boss after updating his profile’s bio to “Chief Twit”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Twitter confirmed Musk would visit the San Francisco office this week, but declined to comment further.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Banks have started to send $13bn in cash backing Musk’s takeover of Twitter in a sign that the deal is on track to close by the end of the week, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Read: &lt;a href="https://www.aajenglish.tv/news/30300940/twitter-reviews-policies-around-permanent-user-bans"&gt;Twitter ‘reviews policies’ around permanent user bans&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once final closing conditions are met, the funds will be made available for Musk to execute the transaction by the Friday deadline, the report added.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bank of America and Barclays declined to comment on the report when contacted by Reuters, while Morgan Stanley did not immediately respond to a request for comment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Read: &lt;a href="https://www.aajenglish.tv/news/30297852/musks-latest-reason-to-drop-twitter-deal-whistleblower-payment"&gt;Musk’s latest reason to drop Twitter deal - whistleblower payment&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the six months of a dramatic back-and-forth since Musk announced his $54.20 per share bid, Twitter initially resisted the deal by adopting a poison pill and later sued the world’s richest man after he announced plans to abandon the offer on concerns about spam accounts on the platform.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier this month, Musk proposed to proceed with his original $44bn bid, calling for an end to the lawsuit by Twitter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Tesla Inc CEO notified co-investors who committed to help fund the Twitter deal that he plans to close it by Friday, Reuters reported on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Equity investors including Sequoia Capital, Binance, Qatar Investment Authority, and others have received the requisite paperwork for the financing commitment from Musk’s lawyers, Reuters reported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Twitter shares were up about 1.1 percent at $53.91 in extended trading, slightly below Musk’s offer price.&lt;/p&gt;
