Accomplishment of Elon Musk
X (formerly Twitter) - Musk joined the social media service Twitter in 2009, and,
as @elonmusk, he became one of the most popular accounts on the site, with more
than 85 million followers as of 2022. He expressed reservations about Tesla’s being
publicly traded, and in August 2018 he made a series of tweets about taking the
company private at a value of $420 per share, noting that he had “secured
funding.” The following month the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
sued Musk for securities fraud, alleging that the tweets were “false and
misleading.” Shortly thereafter Tesla’s board rejected the SEC’s proposed
settlement, reportedly because Musk had threatened to resign.
Early in April 2022, Twitter’s filings with the SEC disclosed that Musk had bought
more than 9 percent of the company. Shortly thereafter Twitter announced that
Musk would join the company’s board, but Musk decided against that and made a
bid for the entire company, at a value of $54.20 a share, for $44 billion. Twitter’s
board accepted the deal, which would make him sole owner of the company
