Deal or no deal, Elon Musk could upend Twitter's business for a long time
CNN
Nearly a month after Twitter agreed to sell itself to Elon Musk in a stunning $44 billion deal, the fate of the acquisition remains very much uncertain.
In recent days, Musk has said the deal "cannot move forward" until he sees more information about the amount of spam and fake accounts on the platform and has flippantly pushed back at careful explanations from Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal on the matter.
Twitter (TWTR), meanwhile, remains unwavering that the acquisition will go through. In a statement to CNN Business on Tuesday, the company said it intends "to close the transaction and enforce the merger agreement."
The US began pulling military equipment and additional personnel out of Niger on Friday after waiting months for the ruling military junta to approve US military flights into the country, two sources familiar with the matter said Saturday, ahead of a September 15 withdrawal deadline agreed to by the two countries.
