According to reports from Reuters and Wall Street Journal, he might soon be shelling out even more dough to <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/elon-musk-to-meet-with-twitter-over-s43-billion-takeover-bid-news.151020.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">secure the purchase of the platform in its entirety</a>. Sources close to the situation said that Twitter is close to finalizing a deal with Elon Musk who offered to pay $54.20 per share in cash. Overall, it would value Twitter at $43 billion.
Before finalizing the deal, Twitter&#8217;s board will meet with shareholders to encourage the transaction to move forward. However, there&#8217;s still a chance that the potential acquisition could fall through. If it does move forward, there&#8217;s reports that the announcement could be made before the end of the day on Monday. 
Despite being one of the most popular figures on Twitter, he&#8217;s also remained quite critical of the platform. Along with questioning whether Twitter respects the right to free speech, he&#8217;s also stated that he wants to make a concerted effort against combatting troll accounts. He also said he wanted to introduce changes to Twitter Blue, a subscription-based service.
