Tender Offer 

Twitter has been in the spotlight following the $44 billion takeover by Elon Musk, SpaceX and Tesla CEO.

Late on Thursday, the “Chief twit” (as he describes himself), announced that the bird is freed, referring to the success of a deal to acquire twitter. The deal took a strong turn after Twitter was accused for not reporting bot accounts accurately. What this (takeover) means for existing shareholders is that they receive $54.20 as part of the tender offer, and thereafter Twitter Inc will be delisting.

 

 Twitter as a platform?

The Twitter platform as we know it will still exist, but changes may come to the company since it’s privately owned by Elon Musk.
