Elon Musk Says He's Secured $46.5B In Financing To Buy Twitter

Musk is exploring an option to buy all of Twitter's shares at a premium, take his offer directly to the shareholders, and bypass the company's board.

Elon Musk says he has lined up $46.5 billion in financing to buy Twitter, and he's trying to negotiate an agreement with the company. Taking Twitter private at $54.20 should be up to shareholders, not the board

Last week, Musk announced an offer to buy the social media company for $54.20 per share, or about $43 billion. At the time, he did not say how he would finance the acquisition.
