BREAKING: Twitter has agreed to sell the company to elonmusk for $44 billion in cash, a deal with major implications for online discourse.
The social media giant's decision to sell will give major influence over public debate to Musk, who has vowed to overhaul the platform to orient it toward free speech.
Musk's takeover could also nudge other social media giants to censor less content in order to remain relevant, conservatives hope.The deal came to fruition after Twitter’s board had long negotiations with Musk over the weekend regarding his unsolicited bid to buy the company two weeks ago and after he began lining up $46.5 billion in financing for the offer last week.
"The Twitter Board conducted a thoughtful and comprehensive process to assess Elon's proposal with a deliberate focus on value, certainty, and financing," said Bret Taylor, Twitter's Board Chairman."The proposed transaction will deliver a substantial cash premium, and we believe it is the best path forward for Twitter's stockholders."
