Elon Musk makes offer to buy Twitter

[Findingnemo]

He cared about doge coin? When? He is not literally trying to buy Twitter he just look to bump the Twitter shares and probably will sell it later if the price went 50% up so its like a publicity stunt to keep the fame as well as growing the assets value just using his confusing statements.

If Jack dorsey should sell Twitter to Elon musk, I personally think this will be the biggest mistake of his life, I personally don't have a problem with Elon being the biggest shareholder of the company, but I do have a problem with him owning the entire Twitter. Elon is cunning and can't be trusted, he honestly has not said why he wants to buy entire Twitter
And what am also wondering is, why did he choose dogecoin? I mean he has the money, he could have easily started he's own crypto project and build it to his taste, why did he choose to adopt dogecoin when he know dogecoin is nothing but a meme coin.?

I hope this plan will happen soon, if Elon Musk buys Twitter, it will certainly accept cryptocurrencies for ad payment transactions and maybe in the long term there will be a Twitter coin, we are waiting for the news and it could happen soon.

His only motives is to able to control the crypto market through Twitter.
You know that Twitter has the potential to influence the crypto market.
The man is a wise businessman.
Remember he said, "he who controls the meme, controls the world". Although I don't see Dorsey selling Twitter to him no matter the amount he wants to pay

Twitter is opting for the poison pill approach: https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/15/tech/twitter-elon-musk-poison-pill/index.html

Musk won't be able to privatize the company, no matter how hard he tries. He's effectively capped at no more than 15 percent with Twitter's new approach. He's at around 9 percent in shares, Vangaurd Group (investment firm) bumped up their shares to 13 percent IIRC, so Musk isn't the largest shareholder anymore.

Either way, Musk could just dump all his shares and flood the market, he would still make money, Twitter loses in the end. If I were them, I would take his acquisition offer of 54 bucks a share. It's pure delusion for it to be worth that or a penny more, even.

...
We all know how deceitful Elon Musk can be, all he cares about is doge coin, not bitcoin...

He is just like that and that's why he is totally unpredictable! I doubt anyone knows what he really likes, and Doge is probably just a tool for some of his games that only he understands! But still, he earns abnormally big money and he managed to become the richest man in the world, so whatever he does seems to work for him very well!

He is definitely wise and has long-term plans! But I also doubt that he will succeed in this purchase... maybe this opens some other paths for him, it would be interesting if he starts his own social network when he already has his own satellites and internet, additional investments are certainly not a problem for him!

In each and everything he'll makes money. What is happening with his plans of buying more shares on Twitter is a play to influence the market. Some users have mentioned the plans of pumping the dogecoin price. For now that doesn't look like the plan. What we see here is the plan of pumping the market with his plans of buying more shares. This will surely pump the market share value of Twitter. By that time Elon will sell his holdings and exchange some other businesses.

As a Billionaire then whatever steps you would do then i t would always be attaching up something in related on making money which is something very that normal.Its none of our business whether he do manipulate
Doge after having Twitter or any other means because its his money then he could do all he want but of course there are things which cant really be bought easily.

[MinMan]

Even if he owns, twitter and start posting tweets about dogecoin, I think the impression of people towards him will never be changed anymore. People already know that Elon Musks are only using them for his own good and there is no need for Elon to purchase twitter only to show off his coin doge because he can still post right now and the effects are still going to be the same anyway.

He is only going to waste money there and besides, twitter didn't restrict him or any of his post but at least we now know if what is his motive on why he bought some twitter share's last time. People are also puzzled out after he did it but it is very clear for them now.

[Silberman]

I think the "reconsidering of his shareholding" has more to do with the fact that he realized that he cannot influence the Twitter board with only a 10% of the total shares and that he cannot be on the board and have more than 10% of the shares. So he said, he does not want to be on the Board, so that he can buy more shares.

Even if he has more than 10% of the shares, he will still not influence the Board to make huge changes to the platform. I cannot see why he cannot hire skilled developers to create a "Twitter" like platform, where he has the majority shares and most of the power to steer his visions for that platform. (The guy took on NASA and won.... why not large social media platforms?)

While Elon is without a doubt a talented individual maybe he recognizes that this is not really an area in which he can compete with others which have dedicated a great deal of their lives to social media websites and that have a great advantage over him already, this is why he is trying to buy Twitter, instead of starting from zero he could start with a company that is already in a good position and that he could move forward and make many times more popular with some innovations.

So let me get this right: Elon Musk didn't give 6 billions dollars to the World Food Program to try to solve world hunger but offers 43 billions dollars to buy Twitter, an already obsolete social media. Sounds legit...

Most probably he has a plan on using twitter for his own agenda, we all know the hype of twitter and its effect in the whole market so if he can able to own it and manipulate it, this can be a big income generating for him. He can hype more about his project but since we all know that he owns twitter, we can have an idea if its legit or not and if Elon make a tweet about DOGE most probably its just a hype and a part of his manipulation, this could be a warning to everyone.

What can we expect from Elon? He’s been hyping DOGE and when he became the major owner of Twitter he might tweet a lot about it to condition the mind of the public about that meme token. Let’s see if Twitter will accept the offer and what would be the real effect of this one. Twitter has a lot of users, this can be a good exposure for Elon if ever.

He will fail woefully, I have seen tweets about him not being a true lover of Bitcoin, despite holding a huge amount of Bitcoin.

He will fail woefully? Really? Come on, what are your parameters for measuring that, anyway? BTW, how do you justify your statement that someone hodling a HUGE amount of Bitcoin yet you still say he isn't a true lover? We may decide not to like how Elon does his things but we can't take away his involvement in cryptos whether with Dogecoin, Shib or Bitcoin.

Zero arguments he's a pretty good influencer of whatever coin

You know all that and you still think he will fail woefully?

Why should he even sell Twitter ? Why?

There's always a price tag and every man has their price.

If he do really wants to get something huge, then he should go make offer's to buy Manchester United.

Perhaps, his interest isn't in football. Again, Manchester United is taking serious beating at the moment and may not attract heavy and critical investors. Clearly, you also have to realize that not every money bag is a Roman Abramovich.

[Pejoh Asu]

Twitter is a social media that has survived and remains the choice of today's users, this makes anyone want to buy twitter, and I think the idea of buying twitter is a good thing because cryptocurrencies influencers are mostly from twitter so it will make crypto and twitter even bigger.

I would guess that Jack Dorsey doesn't really need money at all. I mean he is rich enough, at a certain point in life, when you have enough money, you could just say "screw this I am going home" and just have fun. He is at a level of wealth where I am pretty sure he would never need money again.

He probably has a huge house, could still get even bigger, get people who could help with the house, like butler and cook type of things and a driver to drive him around, he could send his kids to best schools, he could eat wherever he wants, he could travel to wherever he wants. Basically, the world is unlocked for him, doubt there is anything he can't afford. As long as he stays outside of business of course, the moment we talk about business, it becomes expensive.

[bitzizzix]

As far as I know he hasn't started yet which implies an ongoing process and as far as I know he just bought some twitter shares, maybe he bought some shares because he decided he wanted to invest in the company maybe because he thought he could profit by doing so.
and it's also possible that he's planning a tender offer, with Musk, you never know because the guy is a loose, clever cannon. An odd combination, but if it's true, Musk can pull it off.

[Sithara007]

There is an interesting tweet from Donald Trump Jr.

Elon Musk controlling Twitter and allowing for free speech is literally worse than Pearl Harbor!!!

You know it’s coming folks

It it laughable the way the woke folks at Twitter are trying to avoid the inevitable sale to Elon. They have now come up with the "Poision Pill" option. Is this even legal? I don't think that they will be able to defend this in the court. Dilution of shareholding just to target one of the investors is extremely unfair, and these guys are just lucky that the SEC is under the control of the Biden administration. Things may change after the mid-term elections though. Going by the early trends, Dems stand to lose even blue states such as Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado and Maine.

If Elon Musk starts to control Twitter, would it make any major impact on cryptocurrency? I dont think we would see big price increases in crypto. Why would even this make an impact? Twitter tips takes tiny part in crypto turnover. Twitter used to be quite negative towards crypto, but not it is more or less ok with crypto. If anyone expect same Bitcoin price increase, as it was after Musk announced Tesla would allow Bitcoin to be used as a payment for cars, I would disappoint them.

[Wexnident]

Ehh, its Musk, he's probably off trying to make ways to profit off of all the tweets he's done that's been hyped up for some reason. Either way from the amount of traction the tweet he made had, I'm pretty sure he's already won even if he isn't able to do what he tweeted no? But I don't doubt he's able to actually pull of what he said, It is Musk, he's probably going to find a way to do it.

I don't think so? I mean users would still use Twitter, not Musk himself. It's not like non-crypto users or crypto haters would leave all because Musk would own Twitter, that'd be kind of dumb. I also don't think Musk would do something like banning crypto-hate stuff and the like.

"I don't want to be rich, but I want to be able to have or buy whatever I want in life" - Elon Musk

Elon can get anything he desires to get at any cost. If he pushes so hard, he'll get the highest share of twitter. If you deny him the opportunity, I think according to your post, he threatened to withdraw his share and that will affect twitter in some ways.
We all need to know that Elon is one of the most influential personalities in the world. He gets what he wants but I do not agree with Op that Elon will invest a whooping $40 billion in order to pump or promote dodge.
