Background
Elon Musk joined Twitter, Inc. in June 2010, building a following of over 80 million by April 2022.[5] In 2017, he responded to a suggestion to buy Twitter, asking, “How much is it?”[6] In March 2022, Musk posted about free speech, polling users on Twitter’s role in democracy.[7] He held discussions with Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey and Silver Lake co-CEO Egon Durban about joining the board or acquiring the company.[8] Musk pitched privatization or a competing platform to board chair Bret Taylor and CEO Parag Agrawal.[9]
Early developments
On January 31, 2022, Musk began buying Twitter shares, disclosing a 9.2 percent stake ($2.64 billion) on April 4, making him the largest shareholder.[10] Twitter’s stock jumped 27 percent, its biggest intraday gain since its 2013 initial public offering.[11] On April 5, Twitter offered Musk a board seat, which he accepted, limiting his stake to 14.9 percent.[12] On April 11, Musk declined the position, signaling plans to buy the company.[13] On April 12, shareholder Marc Bain Rasella sued Musk, alleging stock manipulation and Securities and Exchange Commission violations.[14]
Buyout offer
Takeover bid
On April 14, 2022, Musk offered $43 billion ($54.20 per share) to buy Twitter and take it private.[15] Twitter’s board said it would review the offer.[16] On April 15, Twitter adopted a poison pill, allowing shareholders to buy stock if anyone acquired over 15 percent, effective until April 14, 2023.[17] On April 20, Musk secured $46.5 billion from banks like Morgan Stanley, including $13 billion in loans to Twitter, $12.5 billion against his Tesla stock, $20 billion in cash, and $7.1 billion from investors.[18] On April 22, Musk formed three “X Holdings” companies, foreshadowing the 2023 rebranding to X.[19]
Acquisition announcement
On April 23, 2022, Musk told board chair Bret Taylor his $43 billion offer was final, urging acceptance. ...From Wikipedia
In July, Musk announced his intention to terminate the agreement, asserting that Twitter had breached their agreement by refusing to crack down on spambot accounts. The company filed a lawsuit against Musk in the Delaware Court of Chancery shortly thereafter, with a trial scheduled for the week of October 17. Weeks before the trial was set to begin, Musk reversed course, announcing that he would move forward with the acquisition. The deal was closed on October 28, with Musk immediately becoming Twitter's new owner and CEO. Twitter was taken private and merged into a new parent company named X Corp. Musk promptly fired several top executives, including previous CEO Parag Agrawal. Musk has since proposed several reforms to Twitter and laid off half of the company's workforce. Hundreds of employees then resigned from the company after Musk issued an ultimatum demanding they commit to "extremely hardcore" work. Linda Yaccarino was appointed CEO of X Corp. In July 2023, the Twitter service was rebranded as X.
Reactions to the buyout were mixed, with praise for Musk's planned reforms and vision for the company, particularly his calls for greater free speech, but criticism over fears of a potential rise in misinformation and disinformation, harassment, and hate speech on the platform. Within the United States, conservatives have largely supported the acquisition, while many liberals and former Twitter employees have voiced concerns about Musk's intentions. Since becoming owner, Musk has faced backlash for his handling of the company and account suspensions, including the December 2022 suspensions of ten journalists.
