The best and final offer to buy Twitter is $43 billion. The current richest man in the world says he wants to buy the social media platform and is playing hardball. I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder if his offer is not accepted. If he were to pull out, it would cause the stock's value to plummet. I invested in the platform as I believe it has the potential to be a platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy. Before he invested in the platform, Musk was a vocal opponent of the moves to silence users. His $43 billion offer is 18 percent higher than the closing price of the stock. The official response from the company is that it will review the offer and do what is in the best interest of the company and its stockholders. The stockholders are looking at $43 billion on the table.
