Twitter accepts offer for purchase from Elon Musk
Elon Musk made an offer to purchase Twitter which was accepted unanimously by their board of directors on April 25th 2022. The purchase process was complicated by a lawsuit filed by Twitter against Musk when he wanted to pull out of the purchase in July of 2022. He said that Twitter had not completed their side of the deal by refusing to crack down on spam bots. A week prior to the start of the trial, Musk conceded to the purchase. This went through in October 2022 and since then Twitter has been rebranded as X.
Elon Musk is involved in many different fields of business and technology having founded SpaceX, co-founded Neuralink and worked as CEO of Tesla.
