Elon Musk’ twitter takeover, which just one week ago seemed increasingly unlikely after the company rushed to adopt a poison pill, is suddenly looks rather possible and not because the world’s richest man decided to go all scorched over Twitter’s bread and butter, namely censorship and shadowbanning…

… but because the WSJ reports that the social media company’s board is ” more receptive to a deal” and is re-examining Musk’s $43 billion takeover offer after the billionaire lined up financing for the bid.

While Twitter had been expected to rebuff the offer, which Musk made earlier this month without saying how he would pay for it, and prompting Musk to threaten to launch a tender offer. But after Musk disclosed last week that he now has $46.5 billion in financing thanks to Morgan Stanley, “Twitter is taking a fresh look at the offer and is more likely than before to seek to negotiate” although the situation is fast-moving and it is still far from guaranteed Twitter will do so.
