“My offer is my best and final offer and if it is not accepted, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder,” Musk wrote in a letter sent to Twitter Chairman Bret Taylor on April 13. “Twitter has extraordinary potential. I will unlock it.”

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 14, 2022 Musk’s bid arrived days after Twitter said he’d rejected an offer to join the company’s board, which was made after the tycoon bought a 9.2% stake in the business. The Tesla CEO’s increasing interest in the social network has won support from free speech advocates, but Twitter employees and Musk critics have raised concerns about his plans. In his letter to Taylor, Musk again emphasized his desire to promote free speech on the platform: He added that the bid would be his best and final offer. If it is not accepted, he said he would reconsider his position as a shareholder. Your move, Twitter.
