Elon Musk has made a “best and final” offer to buy Twitter Inc., saying the company has extraordinary potential and he will unlock it.

The world’s richest man will pay $54.20 per share in cash, representing a 54% premium over the Jan 28. closing price and a value of about $43 billion. The social media company’s shares soared 18%.

Here was the letter Musk sent to Twitter Chairman Bret Taylor, as disclosed in a securities filing:

I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy.

However, since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form. Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company.

As a result, I am offering to buy 100% of Twitter for $54.20 per share in cash, a 54% premium over the day before I began investing in Twitter and a 38% premium over the day before my investment was publicly announced. My offer is my best and final offer and if it is not accepted, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder.

Twitter has extraordinary potential. I will unlock it.

Between Zuckerberg and Elon Musk I wonder who is more greed and selfish

All i see is money. Money comes with respect. Whether u have sense or not just have money and people will respect u. First born that don't have money are suffering especially if their younger ones are very successful.

I love this man, he thinks ahead of time. He is trying to create more wealth and Nigeria through it's President is trying to create grazing route/path for COWS...brethren the Ibos can see far for Africa. No wonder they were complaining and shouting since and no one cared to listen to them!!
