Elon Musk 'not sure' his takeover bid for Twitter will be successful
Tesla boss Elon Musk has said he is " not sure" his Takeover Bid for Social Media firm Twitter will be successful.
He made the comments at a conference just hours after revealing that he had offered to buy The Company for $54. 20 a share, or More Than $40bn (£30. 6bn).
Also on Thursday, Twitter's chief executive told employees that The Company was evaluating the approach.
Parag Agrawal also reportedly said at the staff meeting that The Company was not being " held hostage" by the offer.
Speaking at the TED2022 conference in Vancouver, Mr Musk said: " I Am not sure that I will actually be able to acquire it. "
He added that he had a Plan B if his bid for Twitter was rejected, but gave no further details of what that could mean.
Mr Musk also said at The Event that Twitter should be more open and transparent.
" I think it's very important for there to be an inclusive arena for free speech, " He Said .
Earlier on Thursday, he revealed his offer to buy all the shares in Twitter that he does not already own.
In an official filing to US regulators, Mr Musk said he was The Right person to " unlock" The Company 's " extraordinary potential" and that if his offer was not accepted, " I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder. "
He also said that if Twitter's board of directors chose to reject the offer, it would be " utterly indefensible not to put this offer to a shareholder vote".
Twitter confirmed that it had received the bid, but said its board must still review the " unsolicited, non-binding" offer, which values its shares at well below The Level of More Than $70 that they reached Last Summer .
Mr Musk already owns More Than 9% of the Social Media platform, but he is no longer its biggest shareholder.
Asset Management firm Vanguard Group that its funds now own a 10. 3% stake, bumping him off The Top spot.
Other than acknowledging the Takeover Bid , Twitter has publicly kept pretty quiet since Elon Musk 's attempt to buy The Company .
But details have emerged of an " all hands" meeting, where questions were put to The Company 's chief executive, Parag Agrawal .
The Details give Nothing More than a suggestion of what Twitter's management thinks of the offer. Mr Agrawal reportedly said he could not talk about The Details , but that The Company was not being " held hostage".
I'm told The Meeting was designed to give employees more information. But one Twitter worker told me they left The Meeting more confused. " I didn't leave feeling any sense of clarity, " they said.
The Employee said that they were in The Dark about what could happen next. " I would say I know about as much as The Public on Twitter, " they said.
Twitter's board not only has to weigh up the offer, but also assess the damage that Elon Musk could do if scorned. Apparently he has a Plan B if Twitter rejects his offer.
Twitter may be worth tens of billions of dollars, but it is nothing compared to Elon Musk , who is worth More Than $200bn. And that kind of wealth makes him a dangerous foe.
