Elon Musk Makes an Offer to Buy Twitter for $43B Igniting a Short-Lived Dogecoin Rally

The CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is offering billions of dollars to buy one of the world’s most popular social media networks, sending his favorite cryptocurrency to the moon.

Elon Musk unveiled his $43 billion offer to buy Twitter in a new tweet, which was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The SEC filing includes a letter Musk sent on Wednesday to Twitter Chairman of the Board Bret Taylor, in which Musk explains his motivations for the deal.

“Bret Taylor

Chairman of the Board,

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.”

Despite the fact that the board has yet to respond publicly, Musk is claimed to have stated that this is his “best and final” offer. If his bid is turned down, Twitter’s top shareholder says he will have to reevaluate his stake in the social media network in the future.

In reaction to Musk’s offer, Dogecoin, the billionaire’s preferred cryptocurrency, saw a huge but temporary increase in value. DOGE increased 5.8% from $0.138 to $0.146 in just a few hours. Dogecoin’s price has now steadied down, and it now trades for $0.139.
