Let's 'sync' that in: Elon Musk did this while visiting the Twitter office just before the deadline

 

Elon Musk took to a sink at Twitter HQ.

Elon Musk had earlier visited Twitter headquarters ahead of the October 28 deadline.

Elon Musk said on October 26 that he was entering Twitter Inc.'s San Francisco office, just days before a court-ordered deadline to meet his $44 billion bid for the social media network. Despite Twitter's confirmation that Musk will be visiting the San Francisco office this week, the company opted not to provide more details.


Musk also mentioned in another tweet that he was "meeting great people on Twitter".

Musk released a video of himself entering the Twitter office with a sink in his hand, along with the description: "Entering Twitter HQ - let it sink in!" He previously updated his profile's bio a few hours ago to read "Chief Tweet," giving the impression that he was the company's top executive.


Based on people familiar with the situation, a Wall Street Journal report said banks will begin sending $13 billion in cash to support Musk's acquisition of Twitter, indicating that the deal is due by the end of the week. is on pace to finish. The article further states that Musk will have access to the funds once all closing requirements are met to complete the transaction by the October 28 deadline.

Morgan Stanley, Barclays or Bank of America did not respond to Reuters requests for comment on the WSJ report.

Musk called for Twitter's lawsuit to end earlier in October when he suggested moving forward with his original $44 billion offer. The co-investors who agreed to contribute money to the Twitter deal were informed by the CEO of Tesla Inc that the deal would be completed by October 28.


According to Reuters, Sequoia Capital, Binance, Qatar Investment Authority and other equity investors have received documents required for a financial pledge from Musk's lawyers.

Twitter previously opposed the agreement by enforcing the poison pill, and when the world's richest man announced plans to withdraw the offer due to concerns over spam accounts on the network, Twitter later sued him. This dramatic back-and-forth has lasted for six months.
