Twitter shares halted after report Elon Musk deal to go ahead (BBC News)

Trading in Twitter shares is halted after a report stated the billionaire will now buy the business.

Mr Musk, a prolific Twitter user with more than 100 million followers, first offered to buy the firm for $54.20 per share in April. Could this be a legal strategy to delay a court case? Twitter is reportedly looking at Mr Musk's offer closely. But he added, that Mr Musk's ownership of the platform, a top venue for politicians and journalists to spread news and opinion, would still likely cause a "firestorm of worries and questions" in Washington and beyond. In the letter, attorneys for Mr Musk said he intended to move ahead to complete the transaction, pending receipt of the financing, and asked to end the legal fight. In a letter to the firm, Mr Musk agreed to pay the price he offered months ago before trying to quit the deal.

Closing Deals Over Text Isn't Just An Elon Musk Thing, VCs And ... (Forbes)

All five of Rippling's funding rounds were “primarily” conducted via text, CEO Parker Conrad tells Forbes.

The latter case, he says, likely requires “a Musk-level founder.” Typically, Bartlett affirms, texting comes into play at the “last one-yard line,” particularly now that the market downturn has allowed VCs to regain some negotiating leverage and spend more time doing due diligence. “By 2020, the top 25% to top 50% of venture-funded companies were getting this outside-in work done and taking the actual close process to text message,” he says. “It would feel weird and anachronistic to negotiate a fundraising round in some oak-paneled boardroom.” “Through March or April, it was very much an entrepreneurs’ market—investors were doing everything they could to get into the top decile of companies,” he told Forbes. Each of the five funding rounds software startup Rippling closed on its way to an $11 billion valuation was conducted primarily through texting, says cofounder and CEO Parker Conrad. But even for VC-backed startups that are still private, some founders and investors say the brevity and informality of the negotiation is more common than the public may realize.

An agreement would put the world's richest person in charge of one of the most influential social media platforms.

Mr Musk — who sees himself as a free speech advocate — has said he favoured lifting the ban on Mr Trump, who was kicked off the platform in January 2021 shortly after the former US president's efforts to overturn his election defeat led to the 6 January assault on the US Capitol. He said in a letter in July that he was cancelling the purchase because he was misled by Twitter concerning the number of fake "bot" accounts, allegations rejected by the company. "The intention of the company is to close the transaction at (US) $54.20 per share," Twitter said in a tweet confirming the billionaire entrepreneur is apparently abandoning his legal battle to terminate the deal.
