Investment companies Apollo Global Management Inc and Sixth Street which were looking for ways to finance Elon Musk’s takeover of social media platform Twitter Inc earlier this year are no longer in talks with the billionaire businessman, according to two sources briefed on the matter.

Sixth Street participated in those talks with investors considering putting up about $1 billion (€1.01 billion) toward the takeover deal.
