Elon Musk appears to be on his way to closing his $44 billion deal to buy Twitter. The billionaire, who runs Tesla and SpaceX, visited Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters on Wednesday and tweeted a video of himself carrying a porcelain sink into the building.
“Going into Twitter HQ – get this!” he wrote. [num trocadilho com a palavra “sink”, que em inglês pode significar tanto “pia” quanto “entendam” ou “aceitem”, na expressão “sink in”].
Musk is expected to attend several meetings this week on the social network, according to three Twitter employees who spoke on the condition of anonymity. He has until Friday (28) to complete the deal, according to a court decision.
Musk’s appearance at Twitter’s offices suggests he plans to close the deal. Bankers and lawyers have been working in recent weeks to get the necessary funding.
The billionaire agreed to buy Twitter last April, before backing out and then re-committing to the purchase this month.
Musk is also expected to address Twitter employees on Friday, according to the employees and an internal note from Leslie Berland, the company’s chief marketing officer.
“If you’re in SF [São Francisco] and see you around, say hi!” she wrote in her email. “For everyone else, this is just the beginning of many meetings and conversations with Elon.”
Musk held a Q&A with Twitter employees in June.
“I want Twitter to contribute to a better, lasting civilization where we better understand the nature of reality,” Musk said at that meeting.
A Twitter spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
