Investors were wary of Elon Musk’s $44 billion proposal to acquire Twitter. Because of the turmoil surrounding the withdrawal of funding from Apollo Global Management and Sixth Street Partners. Elon Musk acknowledges, however, that neither company participated in the May third-party equity financing or debt financing.
Highly Anticipated Takeover
On October 6, Gary Black, managing partner of investment firm The Future Fund LLC, tweeted that the lack of interest in funding the Twitter transaction from Apollo Global Management and Sixth Street Partners was unimportant. He claims that neither company participated in the $7.1 billion in external equity fundraising that closed in May. Moreover, Elon Musk’s debt financing did not include Apollo Global or Sixth Street.
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, tweeted back “Correct” to comments suggesting Apollo Global and Sixth Street were irrelevant to the purchase of Twitter. Furthermore, Elon Musk’s approval of the Twitter takeover transaction is seen by many as potentially influencing the results of future elections.
