Tesla CEO Musk, I believe everyone goes to know. Build rockets, build cars... He can always easily provoke the topic, attract the global audience to talk about it, and catch up with the stars. Everyone likes to spy on the world of rich people, and Musk is willing to share, although Musk dares to say and the emotional reputation is not so good, but it is such a Musk still has 80 million fans on Twitter, which is also a big Internet celebrity. Sometimes I can't help but compare Principal Wang and Musk, the two rich people are very close to the people, they have personally gone down to engage in entertainment, I think, maybe they have experienced the true meaning of solo music is not as good as the joy of the crowd!
Musk did something lately. First, he blew the wind on Twitter, revealing his idea of buying Twitter, which successfully caused heated discussion among netizens. Lao Ma was also excited to discuss with netizens, and sure enough, within a few days (April 26), Lao Ma officially announced that he had reached an acquisition agreement with Twitter, and at a price of $4.20 per share, he spent a total of about $44 billion in cash to acquire Twitter. At this point, Twitter can be called Ma Twitter, like the old horse do not change the name.
When you're still writing, asking: Musk really bought it. Real cows, really rich... In fact, the acquisition of lao ma had already begun three months ago. We don't understand the happiness of rich people, but we can analyze the routines of rich people, purely as self-amusement.
Lao Ma's first and most important move: secretly buying Twitter shares and joining Twitter. Things started in December last year, when Lao Ma's friend and former Twitter CEO Dorsey was forced to step down, and within a month Lao Ma formed a team to quietly acquire ordinary shares in Twitter. The confidentiality of the whole process is five stars, and no related persons are excluded. By the end of March, Twitter had reacted, but it was too late. Lao Ma has purchased more than 73.5 million shares of common stock through its own trust funds, with a shareholding ratio of up to 9.2%. At this point, Twitter has been a bit passive.
Now that Twitter already knows the old horse's intentions, then my old horse will not hide it. So on April 5, Musk officially announced that he became the largest shareholder of Twitter! Twitter, will certainly be embarrassed by the old door horse, so he took the initiative to hand the old horse an "olive branch": then please join our board of directors! Joining the board, ostensibly politely inviting Musk to start getting involved in Twitter's decision later, is actually... Rather, it is a limitation. Because Twitter is calculated: the condition for The old Horse to join the board is that Musk is not allowed to hold 14.9% of Twitter stock. Twitter calculated that Lao Ma held 9.2% of the shares, and Lao Ma's friend former Twitter CEO Dorsey held 2.253% of the shares, adding up to 11.453%. The threshold of 14.9% set for the old horse is not too much, and it is still left for the old horse, Chinese philosophy, leave room for everything, and see each other in the future.
However, Musk is not an obedient lord, and Musk's thinking has never been a rule-based one. Lao Ma also felt that joining the board of directors had a gross meaning, and everything had to be discussed together at a meeting, and I wanted to decide for myself. Moreover, my old horse is already the largest shareholder of Twitter, and even if I do not join the board of directors, my old horse is eligible to participate in the discussion of Twitter's management matters, and it will not be limited by the shareholding ratio. You stupid hats, half a day to come up with this idea, the old horse as a shrewd businessman, there is no benefit, and pit things, certainly do not do.
There are financial professionals who set the tone for the old horse; Musk buys Twitter, a risk hedge for exquisite egoists. Friends of finance and economics can tell everyone at the message office, thanks for sharing.
After the old horse bought Twitter, what did the American people do? Many hate Musk because he maintains a rogue and hateful public image. Twitter America is an important platform for the dissemination of focused news, and Twitter dominates the national dialogue every day. When Lao Ma buys Twitter, it is equivalent to having a great right to speak. If twitter privatization is completed, Lao Ma will not face much resistance in lowering the regulatory threshold for Twitter content. Then people who violated Twitter policies before may return to Twitter because of old horses. At present, netizens have their own rhythmic "leave Twitter" (#Leave推特) hashtag, many people have put into action, former US President Barack Obama almost overnight lost 300,000 followers.
In the days to come, if the rich "wayward" old horse cannot be accepted and liked by the public, then can Twitter without popularity still be Twitter? That's just an "empty shell", and the old horse's $44 billion is lost. What happens next, we continue to pay attention to, and will update later.
It is said that the White House is already worried, Trump returned to Twitter, let's wait and see.
I'm February, spring hasn't arrived yet, and I need to be quiet. Like to see the world, do not mind to discuss the real people around the real thing, big things and small things are life, a little idea, a little value, like a little attention.
