$44 billion for Twitter
Elon Musk made a $44 billion bid to buy Twitter in April. In May, however, he withdrew, claiming that Twitter did not want to give him information about how many user accounts are fake.
In July, Musk said he was withdrawing from the purchase due to "false and misleading" information about the company. Soon after, Twitter took Musk to court, and the site's share price dropped significantly.
In early October, the billionaire changed his mind once again and announced that he was ready to buy Twitter for the price originally agreed with the service of $ 44 billion. In late October, it was reported that the deal had been finalized.
