The deal comes nearly three months after Musk started buying Twitter shares with his stake growing from 5% to more than 9% and serious overtures that he wanted to control the social media platform.

Musk's acquisition also comes nearly five months after founder and CEO Jack Dorsey stepped aside as CEO and named Parag Agrawal as his replacement.

  1. Elon Musk is the real deal! Every wealthy person can do something for humanity, just like Elon Musk!

    1. @Elouisa Haddad
      Your point? The contribution is far greater than I one you mentioned. Do your research b4 responding 🤔

    2. You’re looking at the surface. Look into how he became a billionaire. And then tell us what he’ll do for humanity.

      I think you must whole every wealthy person to the same standards you’re holding Elon Musk. Therefore, the list would be very long.

  2. Man, I’d be happy winning $44,000.00 in a lottery or scratch off, and then I could use that money to pay off some of my student loans, help my sister pay off her car, cover all of my parent’s credit card bills, and save up for a vacation later this summer.

    1. Better yet… DON’T WAIT. do this now!

      1) Keep being up to date on all your loan payments with out taking out any more.
      2) Stop taking out student loans for studies that will not pay it back!
      3) Have your sister trade in her car for one she can afford.
      4) Cut up all your parents credit cards and have them spend within their means only.

      This will make your life a hole bunch better! Your welcome =]

  3. He already said he didn’t care about the cost or even if he loses money on the deal with twitter. He feels there is to much bias in social media and wants to have a platform that actually supports free speech. It’s his money he can do what he wants with it. There are a lot of people that think Bill Gates wasted billions of dollars on Africa. There hasn’t been any major changes in Africa but guess what it’s his money he can do what he wants with it.

    1. There’a been major changes in Africa.

      His money?… that the US gave him.

      BTW- he only has enough cash for about half of it.

  4. When you find ALL Twitter employees donated DEMOCRAT, you know you own the main HIVE.
    God Bless & God Speed Elon! ❤️🙏

  5. Crypto currency and NFTs will outsmart the banking system in the nearest future serving as a global fiat. $48,000 just in two weeks, Angela Cole Carr you are so amazing

    1. I’m so excited 😊, my life has totally Changed since I invested $3,500 and now make $24,970 every 14 days.God bless Angela Cole Carr

    2. I have also been trading with her, The profits are secured and over a 90% return on investment directly sent to your wallet. I made up to $79,000 in 2months trading with her

  6. He could’ve bought ten USA Today’s (net worth 4 billion), but he didn’t because he wanted something that wasn’t worthless…

  7. Don’t worry, USA Today, Musk has several more “$44 Billions” he could use to buy those things if he wanted to 😆
