Here is what Musk wrote in a letter to Twitter Chairman Bret Taylor, as disclosed in a new SEC filing.



"I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy.



However, since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form. Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company.



As a result, I am offering to buy 100% of Twitter for $54.20 per share in cash, a 54% premium over the day before I began investing in Twitter and a 38% premium over the day before my investment was publicly announced. My offer is my best and final offer and if it is not accepted, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder.



Twitter has extraordinary potential. I will unlock it."



Twitter shares (TWTR) surged 13% in pre-market trading.



Twitter confirmed in a press release that it received Musk's offer and said the board of directors "will carefully review the proposal to determine the course of action that it believes is in the best interest of the Company and all Twitter stockholders."



"It would be hard for any other bidders/consortium to emerge and the Twitter board will be forced likely to accept this bid and/or run an active process to sell Twitter," said Wedbush analyst Dan Ives.

Fire all the prog senior management after he buys it.

While Musk has said his $54.20-per-share offer is his "best and final" one, he teased that "there is" a Plan B but declined to elaborate.

MSNBC anchor Katy Tur joined the meltdown by many on the left Thursday over the possibility of Elon Musk buying out Twitter and bringing free speech with fewer restrictions to the microblogging platform.



"I wonder," Tur added, stammering. "You know in talking about this, you know, it's kinda funny, oh, Elon Musk wants to buy it, but there are massive, life and globe-altering consequences for just letting people run wild on the thing."



Tur also expressed serious concern that Musk might allow former President Donald Trump back on Twitter after he was permanently banned in 2021. ac_toofunny

Twitter is reportedly considering a so-called "poison pill" tactic to thwart Elon Musk's effort to buy out the social media platform, prompting a critical response from the Tesla chief.

"Democracy Dies in Darkness" is the motto of the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post. It may sound like a warning, but more and more it seems like a summary of the left's aspirations to control debate and shut down any opposition.



A recent example of those aspirations appeared in a column by former Clinton Labor Secretary Robert Reich on Tesla CEO Elon Musk's big buy of Twitter stock. The original headline — changed after widespread mockery — was this: "Elon Musk's vision for the Internet is dangerous nonsense: Musk has long advocated a libertarian vision of an 'uncontrolled' internet. That's also the dream of every dictator, strongman and demagogue."

Robert Reich has an aversion to ideas different from his own.

A very big sigh. I knew Robert Reich was a closeted Trotskyite when he worked for the Clinton administration.
