Behind the scenes, negotiations are going well for the takeover of Twitter. Since Elon Musk dropped a real bomb by making an offer to buy the social network for the tidy sum of 43 billion dollars, investment funds have come forward to support such an operation, or even set up an alternative takeover offer. .
The Apollo Global Management fund would thus be ready to participate in a takeover bid for Twitter, according to sources familiar with the matter cited by the wall street journal. In this context, the American fund could support Elon Musk by providing him with shares or debt. For its part, the Thoma Bravo fund would consider formulating a takeover offer competing with that of the founder of Tesla and SpaceX. Financing such an acquisition could also involve banks like Morgan Stanley. For now, Twitter is opposing Elon Musk’s offer, with the “poison pill” maneuver.
