The Elon Musk Show - PATHETIC
Elon Musk Proceeding With Twitter Takeover
Billionaire Elon Musk is reportedly willing to proceed with his $US44 billion takeover of Twitter.

The deal between the world’s richest person and one of the most talked about social media platforms is on again.
Twitter says it plans to sell the social media platform to Elon Musk for the original offer of $54.20 a share.
“We received the letter from the Musk parties which they have filed with the SEC,” Twitter said in a statement Tuesday. “The intention of the Company is to close the transaction at $54.20 per share.”
Musk made the proposal in a letter to Twitter Monday. Twitter's lawsuit seeking to force Musk to proceed with the deal is set to go to trial in Delaware Chancery Court in two weeks. Musk is scheduled to be deposed in the case on Thursday.
Musk said he would go forward with the deal if the Delaware Chancery Court agrees to “enter an immediate stay,” according to a copy of the letter from Musk’s lawyers that Twitter included in a regulatory filing Tuesday.
Twitter will likely ask the Delaware court to provide protections to make sure Musk follows through on the purchase.
Twitter filed the lawsuit after Musk tried to call off his $44 billion purchase of the company in July.
Twitter shares surged 22% on the news after trading was briefly halted.
Analysts said the offer was an acknowledgment that Musk faced long odds in court. He had lost several legal challenges in court over how much information Twitter had to disclose. But analysts did not rule out more plot twists from Musk.

"One thing that seems certain in this saga, where we've witnessed many twists and turns, is that nothing appears predictable,” said Scott Kessler, global sector lead for technology media and telecommunications at Third Bridge.
