According to reports, Musk visited the company's headquarters on Wednesday and told the banks that he planned to close the deal by Friday. In April, the company accepted Musk's offer to take the company private for $44 billion, but he threatened to walk away weeks later, accusing the company of under counting accounts. When he takes over, Musk has said he will be more tolerant of the kind of content that can be found on the site.

$12.50 billion is the total amount of money. That is the amount of loans Musk has secured to finance the acquisition. He is likely to use his net worth and other investors to raise the rest of the money.
