Tesla boss Elon Musk visited the headquarters of the short message service Twitter in San Francisco on Wednesday.
"Enter Twitter Headquarters—take in this!" read the caption of a video Musk tweeted. The billionaire was joking with the video because he was carrying a sink with him when he entered the building and was playing with it that he took the title of his Twitter post literally: Let that sink in. A little later he tweeted that he had met a lot of "cool people" during his visit.
Apparently, after all the back and forth regarding the purchase of the social media platform, Musk wanted to provide amusement with the action.
Recently, media reports about a possible job cuts among the employees had probably caused long faces.
As the agency Bloomberg claims to have learned from an insider on Thursday, Musk apparently reassured Twitter employees during his visit and explained that he does not plan to eliminate three quarters of all jobs after the takeover.
According to a media report, the takeover should be completed this Friday.
As the Wall Street Journal reports, citing a source familiar with the matter, the banks have already begun transferring $13 billion in cash to support Musk's takeover.
Once the final closing conditions are met, Musk would be provided with the funds to complete the transaction by Friday, the paper said.
The richest man in the world had announced that he wanted to take over Twitter for $44 billion.
Including ancillary costs, the sum totals 46.5 billion dollars.
Musk had meanwhile stated that he was withdrawing from the purchase, which Twitter management did not want to accept.
Musk later agreed to buy it again.
Twitter shares were up about 1.1 percent in extended trading to $53.91, slightly below Musk's offer price.
