Elon Musk said he has raised $46.5 billion to purchase Twitter and is considering buying shares directly from investors to take control of the social media company, APA reports citing CBS news.
In a securities filing on Thursday, the Tesla CEO said he raised $22.5 billion from Morgan Stanley Senior Funding to finance the bid, and committed to paying for the rest by selling equity.
Musk last week proposed to buy Twitter for $54 a share, a significant premium on the company's stock price at the time of about $46. But a major Twitter shareholder, Saudi prince Al Waleed bin Talal, called the offer insufficient, and two days later Twitter's board adopted a so-called poison pill to block Musk's acquisition.a
