Documents made available to the public on October 4th suggested that Elon Musk might be ready to proceed after making apparent attempts for months to back out of the takeover transaction. Monday just gone, the Tesla (TSLA) CEO wrote to Twitter to announce his decision to buy the social media site for the initial share price of $54.20 set forth in April.
Although smaller in scale than competitors in the sector like Facebook, run by Meta (META), Twitter has gained popularity in recent years in part because it serves as a town square-style forum where everyone and everyone is free to express their thoughts, at least in theory.
