A detailed timeline of Elon Musk buying Twitter
On May 17, Twitter filed new documents with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, which included a detailed timeline of its sale to Elon Musk. This history, a retrospective by Twitter’s lawyers, shows how each side operated during deliberations that hardly seemed likely until the deal was announced on April 25. The disclosures show Twitter carefully evaluating Musk’s proposal while navigating the caprices of the market, Musk’s unpredictable behavior, and a stream of critical tweets from the company’s would-be buyer.
