Musk filed paperwork offering to buy the social media site for $43 billion on Wednesday
Fox News contributor Caitlyn Jenner voiced her support Thursday for Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover bid in hopes the Tesla and SpaceX CEO will save the social-media giant from its “woke” employees. On Wednesday, Musk – who last week purchased a 9.2% stake in the company to become its biggest shareholder – offered to buy the rest of Twitter for $54.20 per share, or $43 billion in total. In a letter to Twitter chairman Bret Taylor, he expressed a desire to take the company private in order to “unlock” its “extraordinary potential.” “I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy,” Musk wrote. “However, since making my investment I now realize the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form. Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company.” During an appearance on Fox News’ “America Reports,” Jenner said she approved of Musk’s takeover attempt, praising his anti-censorship stance.
