The Bird is finally free

Recently, Elon Musk completed his acquisition of Twitter paying a full $54.20 per share which values the deal around $44 Billion. After a haul of 6 months, the deal finally came to a conclusion where both Twitter and Musk agreed to close their deal as a success today. 

Musk immediately fired the former CEO of Twitter- Parag Agarwal, the CFO, and other senior members from Twitter, moments after the acquisition. He even fired the person who was responsible for banning Former United States President, Donald Trump's account. Elon paid a visit to Twitter’s office just before finishing the deal in San Francisco where he met a few employees and was seen having a good time there. 

The trading of Twitter's shares was suspended for two straight days because of this acquisition and people holding Twitter's stock will be paid a premium of $54.20 per share. The stock last closed at $53.70. Elon Musk says that his main purpose to buy Twitter is to help humanity by building an app called X. He believes Twitter is the best platform for healthy debates and discussions, etc. 

Musk immediately removed all bans from any accounts on the platform including the former United States President, Donald Trump. After all those court hearings, discussions, and brainstorming, Musk finally got what he wanted for $44 Billion, and even though, almost everyone believes he overpaid for a company like Twitter, he believes that it will help humanity and serve his greater purpose.

The Twitter-Musk Saga

Image
Elon Musk reportedly stood back on his original offer to buy Twitter for around $54.20 per share. Valuing the deal at around $45 Billion. Musk made this offer originally on April 14 and just after 11 days, Twitter accepted the deal, but then on July 8th, Musk backed out of the deal stating Twitter failed to provide him with enough data on the bots and total spam accounts on Twitter.  Twitter sued Musk and then took him a trial to court and just yesterday, Musk proposed the same offer once again. A lot of experts believe this sudden change of mind by Elon happened because he had no other option and he would have lost the case if he kept on fighting against Twitter. Shares of Twitter closed up at $52.00 (22.24% increase) Shares of Tesla closed up at $249.44 (2.90% increase) Everyone awaits more news on this offer, what Elon Musk decides to do further, and when there will be any further development on this situation.

The newly appointed Prime Minister of the UK, Rishi Sunak, and his wife have a combined net worth of $820 Million. This makes them the 222nd richest couple in Britain and this means that they are wealthier than King Charles who is roughly worth $600 Million after inheriting $500 Million from his mother, Queen Elizabeth after her death on September 8. The major chunk of the couple's net worth comes from Sunak's wife, Akshat Murty's $460 Million stake in Infosys. India's second-largest IT & software company. The Citizens of the United Kingdom doubt whether Sunak will be able to deliver his promises to the people because he does not understand what it is like to live under the bare minimum, which is the current situation for a lot of households in the UK as of now because of high inflation and poor control by the government on recent economic turndowns.
