I reject this offer: Saudi Prince on Elon Musk’s Twitter bid

Washington DC, 15/4: Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Friday took a jab at Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a major Twitter investor who rejected Musk’s hostile offer to acquire 100 per cent of the micro-blogging platform for $43 billion.

 

 

Questioning Saudi Arabia’s own media laws, Musk tweeted: “Just two questions, if I may. How much of Twitter does the Kingdom own, directly & indirectly? What are the Kingdom’s views on journalistic freedom of speech?”

 

Musk reacted after the Saudi Prince rejected the Tesla CEO’s cash offer of $54.20 per Twitter share.

 

“I don’t believe that the proposed offer by @elonmusk ($54.20) comes close to the intrinsic value of (Twitter) given its growth prospects. Being one of the largest & long-term shareholders of Twitter, @Kingdom_KHC & I reject this offer,” the prince tweeted.
