Musk options to use a great chunk of his stake in Tesla to finance his offer with Twitter’s shareholders, whereby he will be shelling out $54.20 for every share. Offered the new sector crash, and the reality that Tesla’s stock has plunged at any time considering that Musk announced that he would be taking about Twitter, Musk is acquiring 2nd uncertainties.
What pushes issues in excess of the edge is the reality that Twitter has not experienced a correct audit over the quantity of pretend profiles and spam bots, some thing that Musk has been a stickler for.

He additional that in all chance, Musk will be searching for a way to renege on his facet of the offer with Twitter, or buy Twitter for a a great deal decreased rate, a thing close to $30-35 for each share.
When Musk declared that the Twitter offer was set on keep for the time staying, Tesla’s inventory jumped up by 5 for each cent, which gives him all the far more cause to back again out. But for the reason that he has to pay back a separation price of $1 Billion, Musk is looking to use the spambot concern as an excuse, in accordance to Ives.
