Until now Elon Musk still holds 9.2 percent of Twitter shares, Elon Musk is also looking for a way to buy the Twitter company, maybe with the amount of finance he has, he can buy what he wants, but the problem is whether Twitter is willing to sell the company to Elon musk, but according to the media I read Twitter is not willing to release Twitter to Elon Musk, because the Twitter board last week did everything possible, so that Elon Musk could not increase his shares, now Elon Musk is determined to buy Twitter and he wants twitter to be fully belongs to him, we have to wait whether Elon Musk managed to buy the Twitter company or not??

The news about Elon Musk wanting to buy Twitter was absolutely horrendous,
sometimes things like that seem beyond our minds but if we talk about Elon Musk where he has everything of course what he does makes sense,
if it's true that Elon Musk managed to buy twitter whether it will have a positive or negative impact I don't know but I'm sure changes will happen
Just because Elon buys a company, doesn't mean he will do something amazing. I get that people are expecting a lot from him because of the companies he owns and the weird personality he has, but at the end of the day he didn't really "achieved" anything himself, it was always people around him or people before him.

His first company? Merged with another successful company before being bought out and he was kicked at that point, tesla? Built way before he bought it, spacex? Dude has zero engineering education. So, twitter is just a social media where maybe he could actually do something, it is really uncanny how much people idolize him while he does absolutely nothing himself.

A good idea if this is realized, it's time for Twitter to make big changes, the second largest number of users should make Twitter able to get big profits but a few years they report losses and the presence of Elon Musk is a good solution.
i can't understand how you can say that this is good news and a big change on twitter...Even though i'm not active on Twitter, i'm sure Elon only wants to market the dogecoin when he controls 100% of Twitter.  Twitter will only crash because of Elon's control:D

I don't trust Elon, he is a smart and mischievous person who has the financial power to achieve anything he desires. He feels being a shareholder does not give him the power to control and manipulate so he offers to buy it off the owner.
I can already imagine what twitter will be like when Elon happens to be the new owner, Dogecoin will be heavily promoted through that platform, he will change everything. I hope the twitter ceo will be smart enough to decline.

We can't also control what fate will be for twitter if the price that Musk will offer the owner and the majority of the shareholders, we might wake up one morning he already own twitter and we will see his dog(doge) being widely promoted. As you said, he has that manipulating power using his huge trucks of money. We can't tell if twitter owners and the rest will be able to stand and continue to keep their holdings. The pressures are on them and how they will play this game with Musk's attempts to own the platform.

Elon is good solution of what. If Elon tweet is because is looking for profit and not that is the solution for anything else. And if you found it tweet as benefit to cryptocurrency. Can you elucidate why is the solution. Elon is a threat to bitcoin because all it information of bitcoin is what concern's bringing down the values. And it those that when it has plans to make profit

I hope that Elon Musk's plan for the acquisition of Twitter will soon be achieved, I've been actively using Twitter since 2009 and I find Twitter's features very boring, and the big thing I hope is that I can accept cryptocurrencies so that it makes it easier for users to pay for ads.
elon musk will bring alot changes if he succeed acquire twitter,and maybe by this more adoption could applied again in twitter. maybe dego could be coin that accept positive impact of this. we know elon musk was revolutioner person with his idea in business space, i am believe he could bring crazy idea that would attact more user using twitter.

Elon Musk has made the right decision by buying Twitter shares and proposing to pay for Twitter ads with Dogecoin. Twitter has great potential and so many users that the potential profit is huge. If Elon Musk becomes the owner of Twitter, maybe Dogecoin will be popular among Twitter users in the future.

Is it about the data that he could get? Will he use it for something like his new inventions, or is he planning to use it for something like space exploration or another business that he can profit from?I do agree that the amount was huge just for things like promoting Doge (but I think this is one of his many reasons why). He has something in my mind that he is the only one that can pull off. I can only imagine the data or advertisements he could use. Whatever the reason, I am hopeful that we will know what what he truly desires from Twitter rather than other platforms.
I am not sure if he does, but I know that Tesla is a data company is not a myth, it is a reality. Every single driver of Tesla basically sends back data of the roads to Tesla, which they use to create a roadmap basically, and then they use it to make the cars better self-driving cars with that data.

So, that means Tesla knows how to use data, and that means Elon could use the same people to do something with Twitter as well. He is capable and he has done it before, so giving him this much data would result with something for sure. Will it be a good thing? Will it be a bad thing? How will he use it? I do not know, but I know that he would use that instantly.

Due to the fact that you brought up Tesla, The starlink for him had slipped my mind, lol! He can clearly see if everyone is using his internet from above, isn't he? Even though we could argue that it has negative consequences, it is still an innovation. I agree that it could be a good or bad thing, but he is definitely using it for innovation purposes that humanity can benefit from. When it comes to his purpose for collecting the data, I am hoping that we can all benefit from it.

My question is why is he so interested on buying twitter, am sure he has an ulterior motive for wanting twitter. @OP's explanation of him wanting to make doge popular is just a part of it, I think there is more.
I hope the twitter ceo won't let Musk get his hands on twitter for whatever the price he may offer.
Elon is a very smart person, spending a ton of money to buy the most famous social network in the world just for Doge to become famous is not worth it and not convincing. We don't know how many Doge he owns but I'm pretty sure it will be nothing with the 43 billion he will spend on twitter. Twitter acquisition I think its not doge related.
We all know how powerful social media is, if Elon succeeds in this deal he will make twitter a powerful tool for his business.


I agree the main reason Elon Musk wanted to buy Twitter was not to get Dogecoin back into the hype again, but Elon Musk has other reasons.
Based on the article I read, Elon Musk revealed that buying Twitter just wanted to ensure Twitter as a trusted platform for democracy.
According to Elon Musk, Twitter still lacks freedom of speech, and still needs to improve transparency. It seems that Elon Musk's reasons are
a little dubious to me, he is a businessman, who can make Tesla a become high-profit company. So for sure Elon Musk bought the related Twitter
to be able to make even more money, but I'm sure Twitter's board of directors won't let Elon Musk own Twitter completely.

Well sat the moment it seems the deal went through correct me if am wrong and I also know that Elon Musk is eyeing Twitter for the sole purpose of control over the speech since the micro blogging site Twitter have been a great tool for Elon Musk and his business the move to own twitter is majorly for personal gain and seeking control of the micro blogging site.

The question is will Elon musk make the freedom of speech enjoyed but Twitter users better or will he focus more on competing with other social media life Facebook to generate more revenue.

If course his got an ulterior motive else, what would be the point in buying a thing if not for a purpose. A purpose that would always stay hidden until his got his paws completely over the system.

I was also thinking about the same but one thing is moving around in my mind. He is one of the biggest share holder of twitter so i guess he could force to join twitter board of directors. That position would be enough for him to do what ever he is up to. But he deliberately refused to accept that position too. Do not know why i always get a suspicious sense from his every action. May be he could use twitter to do his last exit pump from doge coin. This man love only wealth so it won't be surprise if he abandoned dogecoin in the future and start developing his own blockchain.

If this happens, of course, Elon Musk will make an overhaul of the management and system on Twitter, even though it is still in normal profitability, so buy or not, Twitter, which was previously centralized, will become decentralized.
it might happen Huh Roll Eyes Shocked

Now, its just so difficult to say if, the Tweeter CEO is going to give it up or not. Having the most shares in tweeter is some leverage on the company but one thjng is for sure, there are others that would look to buy shares too and the company could always build from where ever  it is left off. The potentials on Tweeter is so much to be crafted in to the hands of one man that would use it for his own benefits alone.

Unfortunately, money is hardly the need of these persons because, they are wealthy already. There only problem is to stay on top and that is archiveable only by being able to control the masses. Let hope this is not handed to him!

Like two days ago, Elon Musk in an interview says Twitter ads be better to be paid in bitcoin. Elon Musk has 82.4 million shares of Twitter which is 10.3% of Twitter. Recently he wants more of Twitter and wants to buy Twitter.

Tesla boss Elon Musk has offered to buy Twitter, saying he is the right person to "unlock" the social media platform's "extraordinary potential".

In a surprise announcement, Mr Musk said he would pay $54.20 a share for Twitter, valuing it at about $40bn. It recently emerged that Mr Musk was Twitter's biggest shareholder after he built up a large stake in the firm. He said that if his offer was not accepted: "I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder".

We all know how deceitful Elon Musk can be, all he cares about is doge coin, not bitcoin, even doge coin rose when he bought shares on Twitter, he is only looking for ways to make doge popular and this can be effective if he owns Twitter. I believe he will fail because Twitter is never like Facebook and will never be like Facebook. His aim will only be towards making doge the dominant coin Twitter will be accepting just as he did with Tesla after his bitcoin criticism which he was wrong about but just wanted to fool people.

I think if Elon Musk really wanted to buy Twitter, he would have already bought it. Why hasn't he done this until now? Maybe this has some meaning? Maybe just talking about this is the result that he needs?While we are discussing this topic, he will earn a lot of money from this once again. Because we know this man, he is capable of a lot and there are no boundaries for him.

It's a true power move.

I do think that this sort of outlandish hostile takeover activity is going to attract a lot more invigilation from the regulatory bodies, which is not necessarily something that he wants.

However, the twitter board does look particularly weak right now and I don't think that there is an easy way out for them. But this situation for Elon isn't that clean either - he needs to get the funds to actually buy out Twitter if the deal goes through (which it probably wouldn't).
