[Original by Dongchedi Industry] Recently, the lawyer of Tesla CEO O Elon Musk (Elon Musk ) submitted a document to US Securities and Exchange Commission (SECh), which shows that Musk has changed his mind and agreed to continue to complete the acquisition of Twitter at a price of $54.2 per share. This is another repentance by Musk in the acquisition of Twitter.

Twitter also stated that the company has received a letter from his lawyer Musk and stated that the company's intention is to complete the transaction at $54.2 per share. In addition, some sources said the deal could be concluded as early as Friday. After the document was released, Twitter's stock price rose sharply, with an increase of more than 22% as of the closing of the day.

Dongchedi noticed that on October 5, Musk also stated on his personal social media that the acquisition of Twitter is a catalyst for creating the "X" of the full-featured App (the everything app). At the same time, he also said that the acquisition of Twitter might have advanced the "X" by three to five years, but "I may be wrong."

It is understood that in April 2022, Musk issued an invitation to the Twitter board of directors to acquire Twitter and privatize it, with the acquisition price of $54.2 per share; shortly afterwards, the Twitter board of directors voted to agree to the acquisition. It is worth mentioning that because the outside world is not optimistic about Musk's use of Tesla shares as collateral for acquisition, Tesla's stock price plummeted from April to June.

However, by July 2022, Musk suddenly wrote a letter to the Twitter board of directors, expressing his termination of the wholly-owned acquisition of Twitter. Twitter then sued Musk in the Delaware Commercial Court, and the lawsuit between the two parties lasted for more than two months.
