Here's Bloomberg backing up the tweet:<p><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-04/elon-musk-proposes-to-proceed-with-twitter-deal-at-54-20-a-share-twtr" rel="nofollow">https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-04/elon-musk...</a>
"Why?" is probably the best response to this news, since Elon Musk was admant about seeing this through.<p>He was scheduled for a deposition this Thursday/Friday which might have been related to this sudden announcement: <a href="https://news.bloomberglaw.com/securities-law/musk-to-be-deposed-oct-6-7-in-austin-texas-in-twitter-case" rel="nofollow">https://news.bloomberglaw.com/securities-law/musk-to-be-depo...</a>
In other words, Musk has issued an open invitation to stop the existing lawsuit and go back to negotiating.<p>He has already proven that any offer he makes is really just another negotiating tactic.<p>Musk is working real hard to be the new Trump --- his word is his bond --- in Bizarro World.
