Elon Musk may not own Twitter yet but he’s absolutely dominating it today.
Earlier this morning, news broke that Elon was making an offer to purchase ALL of Twitter and take it private.
Here was his announcement:

What a boss.
The response has been incredible.
Many love it…
Some are melting down…
Basically, if you want to see where you would fall on the dividing lines, these two tweets sum it up:
“I’m going to leave Twitter if Elon Musk takes over” is the new “I’m going to move to Canada if Trump wins”.

If Elon Musk had purchased twitter two years ago, we would have a different president.

Meanwhile, Twitter is holding an “all hands” employee meeting to discuss the offer today at 2pm.

Meanwhile, another billionaire just stepped up to the plate.
If you follow crypto, you’ll know Justin Sun from TRON.
Well, Mr. Sun has just upped the ante and outbid Elon at $60/share.
Check this out:
I believe @Twitter is far from unleashing its full potential, thus I am offering $60 per share to take the platform private. But we fully support the reform initiatives of @elonmusk and would love to see Twitter becoming crypto-native and Web3 friendly.

$DOGE goes up briefly on @elonmusk‘s Twitter offer, @justinsuntron offers a higher bid to buy Twitter. @Steven_Ehrlich https://t.co/Ip4dQVtSqR

Bidding war incoming?
I love what Mark Cuban posted.
While I don’t always agree with Cubes, he’s right more often than he’s wrong and I literally laughed out loud at this:
Want to see the whole world lose their shit ? Get Peter Thiel to partner with Elon and raise the bid for Twitter
— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) April 14, 2022
Very correct.
Many believe Sun’s Tweet is just to garner attention.
To wit:
Justin Sun hasn’t got $60B to buy out Twitter. he just want attention😁https://t.co/wOqhyhSiY0

And here is Cuban’s final take on what Musk may be up to:
My conclusion, @elonmusk is fucking with the SEC. His filing w/the SEC allows him to say he wants to take a company private for $54.20 😂
Vs his “Am considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured” Price go up. His shares get sold. Profit⬆️ SEC like WTF just happened.— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) April 14, 2022
An interesting theory.
Miles at WeLoveTrump broke down another angle a few minutes ago, explaining how ANY deal could be killed by the Saudi Prince.
Charming.
