Twitter: Elon Musk seems to have won his bet

Elon Musk is getting Twitter, according to information obtained by the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.

The richest man in the world already got a little more than 9% of Twitter at the beginning of the month to become the majority shareholder of the network. On April 14, he did it again by indicating that he was ready to pay 41 billion (US) to buy the whole company and thus take it private.

Even for Elon Musk, raising such a large amount of cash is no small matter. But it seems that the man who is also the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX seems to have won his bet and that the closing of the deal is imminent.

Twitter ‘s board of directors met Sunday to evaluate the offer, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN.

If the deal is approved, the billionaire would find himself at the helm of one of the world’s most influential social media platforms. Elon Musk has repeatedly stressed that his goal is to support freedom of expression on the platform and to work to “unleash” the “extraordinary potential” of Twitter.
