Next September 13, they will have to decide whether to accept Tesla’s owner’s $44,000 million
Twitter issued a vote this Tuesday for Sept. 13, prompting its shareholders to approve the company’s sale agreement, initially agreed with Tesla CEO Elon Musk, worth $44,000 million.
The company announced this in a statement shared by the United States National Securities Market Commission, which pointed out that the social network’s shareholders must vote to approve the merger plan, despite the billionaire’s subsequent refusal to back the agreement, as reported by CNN.
