Elon Musk is the real-life Bruce Wayne embodying Ariana Grande’s I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it.
Remember back when Musk jokingly asked how much Twitter is? Well, turns out he wasn’t joking after all. He actually did it.
Elon Musk offered around $44 billion to take over Twitter and according to reports, Twitter accepted the offer today. Twitter announced the $54.20-per-share deal after a meeting with its shareholders.
According to Elon Musk, he has always been an advocate of free speech and that’s the reason he acquired Twitter.
Musk also wants to make several changes to “make Twitter better than ever.” He wants to add new features, make the algorithm open source to increase trust, defeat the spambots, and authenticate all humans. He sees tremendous potential in Twitter and is looking forward to work with the company, according to a statement.

I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means

Just wanted to say how much I, @TheTweetOfGod, have always loved and respected Elon Musk, and never thought he was a jerk, or batshit insane, and that idea of him is in no way intrinsically terrifying.

Perhaps — and hear me out here — if you can afford to buy Twitter for $44 billion, you can afford to pay your fair share in taxes.
