Elon Musk made a bid to buy Twitter for $43 billion, or $54.20 per share, on April 14. Following this, Twitter's board of directors implemented a "poison pill" to protect its share gains.

Musk has secured $46.5 billion in financing for the transaction, which includes $21 billion in personal equity and $25.5 billion in loans. The board of directors of Twitter meets to examine Musk's offer and accepts his offer to buy shares for $44 billion.

After a few days, Musk unexpectedly stated on May 14 that the Twitter transaction is "temporarily on pause" due to Twitter's false account claim. It was looking for information about fraudulent Twitter accounts. Later, on July 8, Musk announced in an SEC filing that he was cancelling the Twitter deal due to nondisclosure of data. Twitter stated that it will close the purchase legally.
