Elon Musk, Twitter and Free Speech
Quick Glance: It's official: Elon Musk will become the sole owner of Twitter.
  • Twitter has agreed to be acquired for $54.20 per share in cash after reconsidering Musk's $44 billion deal.

  • The purchase price at that valuation reflects a 38% premium over Twitter's stock price on April 1, 2022, the final trading day before Musk declared his 9% interest in Twitter.

  • When everything is said and done, Twitter will be a privately held company.

  • Some shareholders reportedly wanted Twitter to seek a better deal from Musk, despite the fact that he had previously stated that his offer of $54.20 per share was his "best and final" offer.
