Musk’s Cryptic Post Hints Next Twitter Move

Elon Musk delivered another hint about the next step of his battle to seize control of Twitter – despite opposition from the company’s board of directors – in a tweet on Monday.

It appears that Elon’s recent cryptic tweet has added gasoline to the widespread rumor that the billionaire is preparing an offer to purchase Twitter. So far, the board of directors of the social media site has rejected Musk’s offer to purchase the company for $43 billion. “______ is the Night,” Musk wrote on Twitter.

A possible allusion to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic “Tender is the Night” might be seen in the tweet.

As part of a tender offer, a prospective buyer bypasses a company’s board of directors and public requests that shareholders sell their stock at a certain price. This is a method commonly utilized during hostile takeover bids.

On Saturday, Musk posted a tweet

On Saturday, Musk posted a tweet with the phrase “Love Me Tender,” a reference to the 1956 classic song by Elvis Presley, which also implied that the Tesla CEO was exploring the strategy. It was just hours before he posted the song that Twitter’s board of directors enacted defense measures in the shape of a “poison pill” provision aimed at limiting Musk’s potential to purchase a larger interest in the company.

According to a report published exclusively by The Washington Post, Musk is currently scrambling to find finance from a company ready to collaborate with him in a bid to acquire Twitter. As part of a deal, Elon may seek to issue debt against the firm — or even his own stock – in order to fund the transaction.

In addition, sources informed The Washington Post that Musk is willing to put up between $10 billion and $15 billion of his own money to finalize the deal.

Musk’s most recent post could have another meaning as well

Elon’s most recent post could have another meaning as well. He sent out the message on the eve of April 20th, often known as 4/20. It was a day that holds special significance for marijuana smokers and meme fans alike.

In his speeches, Musk never misses an opportunity to use the term “420.” Most recently, the billionaire included the figure in his offer to purchase Twitter for $54.20 per share, which was accepted.

In a second post published earlier on Tuesday, the internet entrepreneur offered some advice on how to run a social media site based on his personal beliefs.

“A social media platform’s policies are good if the most extreme 10% of its users on the left and right are equally unhappy,” Musk remarked of Facebook.
