Five things to watch as Elon Musk acquires Twitter | The Hill
Apr 25, 2022:
Twitter announced it has reached a $44 billion purchase deal with Elon Musk.
As part of the deal, Musk will buy all of Twitter's remaining stock (he already owns 9%) and pay shareholders $54.20/share in cash. That price is 38% more than Twitter's closing price on April 1, 2022.
After the buyout, Twitter, currently publicly owned and traded, will be a private company 100% owned by Musk.
According to Forbes, Musk is the richest person in the world with a net worth of $219 billion.
Musk said the following regarding the purchase:
Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.
I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential – I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it.

Staggering $s for us unwashed masses. I truly hope Musk is sincere about free speech. Already hearing arguments about censorship/1st Amendment/cancelling, etc. Think China/N. Korea. There, powers that be spew propaganda; Citizens speak out and disappear that night. Here, trump spews lies and people push back because they are lies and we still have protected speech. Trump attacks media as enemy of the people when actually it's lack of truth being called out. Trump booted off Twitter because he fomented lies and incitement about January 6, in clear violation of Twitter policy. It’s similar to yelling "fire" in a crowded theater - not protected speech but unlawful. So, Elon, how far are you going to go?
