Musk visits Twitter HQ with a sink in his hand

San Francisco: Elon Musk visited the Twitter headquarters with a sink in his hand, ahead of the micro-blogging platform’s takeover deal.

Musk posted a video on Twitter with the caption: “Entering Twitter HQ– let that sink in!”.

While one user asked Musk why he was holding a sink, another commented: “His deal was financed. He won’t do anything that negatively impacts earnings.”

The Tesla CEO has changed his profile to ‘Chief Twit’ as the Friday deadline to finalise his takeover deal nears.

Recently, Musk had reportedly told investors and bankers that he was going to close the $44 billion (AED161b) Twitter takeover deal as employees at the micro-blogging platform protested his plan to fire 75 per cent of the workforce.

Musk must complete the acquisition soon or face the lawsuit at a court in Delaware, as per the deadline given by the judge. Musk Twitter sink HQ Musk Twitter sink HQ

The world’s richest man, who had raised $13 billion (AED47b) as a loan from banks and lenders to go ahead with the takeover deal, is set to sign the papers necessary to get the deal closed, according to reports.

Meanwhile, a TIME magazine report said that Twitter employees had written an open letter to the board of directors and Musk, to criticise his plans to lay off 75 per cent of the workforce.
