A week ago, the Twitter board rejected Musk’s offer to buy Twitter for $54.20 a share.

Today, the board accepted Musk’s offer to buy Twitter for $54.20 a share.

What is that if not a 180?




Last week’s offer was a non-binding proposal (from someone with a track record of saying “funding secured” for going private transactions that were not in fact secured). The pill forced Elon to come back with a real offer that disclosed specifics about the financing. It may be the same price but it’s not the same offer as last week.


They never officially rejected it.
