Elon Musk makes offer to buy Twitter

Mr Musk has recently made several statements about free speech and his belief that Twitter acts as global townhall, as well as suggesting the company’s headquarters could be turned into a homeless shelter. That rejection of a seat in the board also provided Mr Musk with the freedom to mount this takeover bid, as the deal in place would’ve limited him to owning 15% of the company, clearly, he had other plans.
