2.What Selfishness does Musk Has?

Taking Twitter private is also one of the key goals of Musk’s acquisition.Some people say that Musk, as a businessman, acquires or privatizes Twitter, and the consideration of commercial interests has a large component.

His selfishness may include the following 3 aspects:

• Obtain freedom of speech to the greatest extent and strengthen the public opinion field for self-expression. For Musk, Twitter is not only a place for his emotional catharsis but also a public opinion field for expressing his views.
• Make maximum use of his own huge traffic and use the smallest cost to do the biggest promotion for Dogecoin, Tesla, SpaceX, etc.
• Will Musk also participate in the presidential campaign in the future to seek political power? After all, during the Russian-Ukrainian war, Musk made many remarks on Twitter, even did not forget to promote his Starlink products while asking Putin.

3. What Was the Fate of Twitter After The Takeover?

Twitter will be delisted after the takeover.In terms of funding, according to a filing by Musk with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) last week, he has locked in enough funds to complete the acquisition.Specifically, Musk obtained a total of $25.5 billion in loan commitments from Morgan Stanley Senior Funding and other financial institutions under Morgan Stanley and other financial institutions, and he also pledged to invest $22 billion in loans. in acquisition transactions.

4. Who Will Lead the Future Twitter?

It is reported that Musk and Twitter's current CEO Agrawal are unlikely to cooperate much.

Parag Agrawal became Twitter's current CEO in November 2021. After succeeding the former CEO Jack Dorsey, his term is only five months now.Former CEO Dorsey is also the founder of Twitter and is good friends with Musk, but Dorsey previously held only a small stake in Twitter and had small control right.

Bloomberg once pointed out that Musk was not happy when Dorsey left Twitter, so he took a 9.2% stake and bought Twitter to avenge his friend, which seemed logical.

5. How Much Control Will Musk Wield?

Twitter said in a statement that it would be acquired by an entity owned by Musk, though the statement did not disclose how Musk would control Twitter in the future.

At present, Musk serves as the CEO of Tesla, the CEO of SpaceX, a private American space company. SpaceX has not yet been listed, and the offline market is valued at $100 billion. Musk also has other start-up companies, such as Neuralink, a "neural chain company" that studies the connection between human brains and computers, and the "tunnel company" Boring Company, which develops and builds urban underground transportation systems.

For Twitter, will Musk learn from Jeff Bezos and let an independent management team run the privately acquired Washington Post? Will he be a hands-off boss? This is still suspenseful.

The Twitter acquisition and the going-private transaction are expected to close in 2022. 

From the ground to outer space, Musk's business has spread to all corners of the planet, and now he wants to expand his business territory to the virtual world. 

We'll soon see what history is about to happen on the world's most influential social platform, positive or drama comes?

Let's wait and see.
