Musk now calls himself a ‘Chief Twit’ and walks into Twitter HQ with sink

The banks that have pledged Elon Musk $ 13 billion in credit for his acquisition of Twitter have begun transferring that amount, according to The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday (local time). Sources report that Musk sent the necessary papers to the banks that initiate this process on Tuesday. He has already posted on Twitter a video of his striking entrance into the headquarters.

Musk promised the bankers last Tuesday to finalize the purchase of Twitter on Friday. The world’s richest man announced in april that he wanted to buy the platform for $ 44 billion, but later came back to that. Twitter filed a lawsuit to allow the sale to continue. In the end, Musk changed his mind again and decided to still want to acquire the messaging service for the agreed amount.

In addition to Musk, other investors are putting billions of dollars into the acquisition of Twitter, such as the founder of software company Oracle Larry Ellison and the Crypto Company Binance. One of the current shareholders, Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal al-Saud of Saudi Arabia, wants to keep his stake in Twitter of just under 4 percent.

The Bloomberg News Agency, meanwhile, reported on the basis of an internal memo from Twitter that Musk will talk to staff at Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco on Friday about his acquisition of the social media company. In a memo to staff, held by Bloomberg, it is said that Musk will meet with staff that day. The multi-billionaire reportedly wants to cut many jobs at Twitter.

Musk appeared with a sink at Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters on Wednesday. Through his own Twitter account, he showed a video of himself, as he pushed the sink inside. ,”Let that sink in,” he wrote. In his bio on his Twitter account, Musk now also mentions that he is “Chief Twit,” which means as much as ” the boss of Twitter.”
