Twitter would be close to

accepting

Elon Musk

's offer

.

Tesla's CEO had offered $ 54.20 per share in cash, which Musk said was the "

best and most definitive

" price.

The social network could announce the $ 43 billion deal in the next few hours, when the board meets to present the deal to shareholders.

However, sources told Reuters, it is always possible that the operation will not go through at the last minute.

Elon Musk aims to acquire the

entire

share package of Twitter to “

delist

” it, that is to remove it from the stock market.

According to the Tesla boss, removing social media from market dynamics would guarantee users

freedom of expression
