Elon Musk’s attempt to buy Twitter is not dead in the water. In fact, the social networking service’s board met Sunday morning to weigh the option to accept his unsolicited $46.5 billion offer, according to The New York Times sources.
Financing of Musk’s bid of $54.20 a share, the sources said, was “a turning point” that enabled the 11 board members to “seriously consider his offer.”
The NY Times sources, who asked to remain anonymous, said the board planned to meet with Musk later in the day to discuss “other contours around a potential deal,” which included a timeline to close a deal and fees that would be paid “if an agreement was signed and then fell apart.” It is unclear at the moment if that meeting took place.
The Tesla and SpaceX founder announced Thursday that he was putting together $46.5 billion in funds to buy Twitter, and was considering a tender offer to shareholders if the board rejected his offer. It is also $3.5 billion more than the $43 billion of his publicized offer, though it was not immediately clear whether that represented a higher price-point offer or just buys Musk additional negotiating wiggle-room.
Those details were released in a Thursday filing with the SEC, showing the $46.5 billion was backed by debt commitment letters from Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Barclays and several banks agreeing to lend Musk an aggregate of $25.5 billion, according to the filing. Musk will cover the rest of the $21 billion via equity financing.
A Twitter spokesman declined to comment.
Twitter’s board last Friday approved plans to employ a poison pill defense to fight Musk’s takeover of the company. Any shareholder could choose to take the offer; if a majority (plus Musk’s outstanding shares, just over 9%) were to agree, he could take control — though Twitter’s recently enacted “poison pill” conditions could upend that process.
“The Rights Plan is intended to enable all shareholders to realize the full value of their investment in Twitter. The Rights Plan will reduce the likelihood that any entity, person or group gains control of Twitter through open market accumulation without paying all shareholders an appropriate control premium or without providing the Board sufficient time to make informed judgments and take actions that are in the best interests of shareholders,” the company said in its statement.

THE AMERICANS' MONEY...
It is said that money is the lifeblood of any war...
I witnessed first-hand the great difficulties of running a government when I was on Brian Mulroney's team in 1984.
Brian's objective was clear: “Make the Canadian government as profitable as a private enterprise!”
Mulroney had rapidly abandoned this impossible task!
Forty years later, in 2025, Donald Trump believes he can succeed in accomplishing this challenge in the United States with the help of Elon Musk and save the government money.
We'll have to wait and see, but the financial war has begun.
Stay tuned!

L'ARGENT DES AMÉRICAINS...
On dit que l'argent est le nerf de la guerre...
J'ai été le témoin direct des grandes difficultés que pose la gestion d'un gouvernement lorsque j'ai fait partie de l'équipe de Brian Mulroney en 1984.
L'objectif de Brian était clair : « Rendre le gouvernement canadien aussi rentable qu'une entreprise privée ».
Mulroney avait rapidement abandonné cette tâche impossible !
Quarante ans plus tard, en 2025, Donald Trump croit pouvoir réussir à accomplir ce défi aux États-Unis avec l'aide d'Elon Musk et faire économiser de l'argent au gouvernement.
Il faudra attendre pour voir, mais la guerre financière a commencé.
À SUIVRE!

Although the night before was brighter, we were able to see Elon Musk's Starlink satellite train pass overhead. As an observer, it's cool to witness and wonder about the physics involved with keeping hundreds of satellites in line.
It's also, a bit disturbing that our night sky is now becoming more and more cluttered with man-made glowing objects that interfere with the natural beauty of the night sky.

SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket on the historic Launch Complex 39-A. This is to be a crowning achievment for Elon Musk and his company as they will be reflying a used booster core, for the first time ever
At 3:34 pm today (Monday, 10/30/17) #SpaceX successfully launched the #KoreaSat5A satellite atop a #Falcon9 rocket and, a few moments later, landed the first stage of the Falcon aboard the "Of Course I Still Love You" droneship about 400 miles out in the Atlantic. This frame captures the rocket and the flag at the Kennedy Space Center Press Site.

Not the "normal" #SpaceX #Falcon9 booster return to Port Canaveral. After launching the #CRS16 resupply mission to the ISS on December 5th, the B1050 booster suffered a hydraulic pump failure for the grid fins & caused the computer to make a controlled landing in the ocean off the coast of Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The black interstage looks severely damaged & corrosion would be a risk for reuse, after soaking in salt water for more than 48 hours.
Tech mogul Elon Musk has said that the new Starlink internet service by SpaceX should be fully mobile later this year.
