not revealed anything on how exactly he plans to pay for Twitter. The possibilities could include going to his investment partners or leveraging his stock at Tesla.“I’m not sure that I will actually be able to acquire it. … I could technically afford it,” he said, adding that his focus is less on raising the business fortunes of the company than in improving the product — which may require converting it to a private company that is not bound by fiduciary concerns. “But this is not a sort of way to make money,” he said. “I don’t care about the economics at all.”Some of the platform changes he seeks could potentially make Twitter less profitable as a business.
Since earlier this month, when he publicly disclosed buying a 9.2% stake in the social platform, he has discussed a range of user concerns that he would like the platform to change from content moderation to reducing scam bots.The Twitter board is currently reviewing Musk’s proposal to acquire it for $54.20 a share in a deal that values the company at $43 billion.
In his SEC filing, Musk said he would take the company private and “unlock” its “extraordinary potential.”Musk also insisted that his was a “best and final” offer — though during his TED interview he also hinted that he had a Plan B if the board rejected his offer. “I am not playing the back-and-forth game,” he said in his letter to the Twitter board, included in the SEC filing. “I have moved straight to the end.”Musk is offering an 18.2% premium on what Twitter shares closed on Wednesday.
