Mr. Musk has indicated that the company has great potential and that he is the perfect person to “unlock” that potential (Twitter’s potential).
The Twitter (TWTR) board are taking Musk’s offer quite seriously because there has not been another company to step in and counter-offer Elon’s Musk’s initial offer. He wants to purchase Twitter (TWTR) at a premium price of ($54.20) a share.
