With Twitter’s (NYSE: TWTR) declaration on Friday that the window for federal antitrust regulators to object to Elon Musk’s proposed $44 billion takeovers of the social-media behemoth had closed, another roadblock had been removed off the deal’s path.
Corporation claimed that the 30-day waiting time for antitrust evaluations had expired for the merger, according to the Federal Trade Commission and Justice Department, which indicated that the 30-day waiting period had expired for the agreement.
Mr. Musk’s planned $54.20-a-share purchase is still far from complete after the Tesla Inc. CEO said the transaction was on hold last month until he could get a grip on the number of false accounts running on the platform. He emphasized subsequently that he remained committed to the transaction.
Mr. Musk’s comments have led some analysts to believe that the entrepreneur is seeking to renegotiate or cancel the purchase in light of the decline in Tesla’s stock price and a bigger sell-off in tech equities.
Mr. Musk has changed his finance arrangements for the purchase since his claims about pausing work on the sale, indicating that he is also advancing with preparations for the deal to close. Despite a steep drop in Tesla shares, he committed more of his riches to bankroll the acquisition and intimated in a regulatory filing that he is seeking other financial allies.
The agreement still needs to go to Twitter shareholders for a vote. Twitter shares were up roughly 1 percent in the early Friday afternoon trade.
