‘May have 2 buy Twitter now’: Does Elon Musk have a new ‘rival’?
Elon Musk may have a ‘rival’ in his attempt to buy Twitter after American rapper Snoop Dogg said ‘may have to buy Twitter now’ on Friday. Snoop Dogg’s tweet (it was a joke, wasn’t it?) followed Musk saying his $44 billion bid was ‘temporarily on hold pending details of calculation (of) spam/fake accounts…” Tesla and SpaceX founder Musk, the world’s richest man, later re-affirmed his commitment to the acquisition – yet to be approved by shareholders.
“May have 2 buy Twitter now,” Snoop Dogg tweeted and offered his ‘business plan’ for the social media giant, which includes free internet on airplanes because (of course) ’29 dollars for 1 hour is b***sh*t’ and a blue tick mark (indicating a verified user handle) for (well, almost) everyone.
‘Tha guy with ponytail’, by the way, has said ‘I am all in’.
Pete Najarian, a former American football player and co-founder of investor guidance firm Market Rebellion, was speaking on CNBC’s Halftime Report.
“Hey Snoop Dogg, sounds like Pete Najarian is interested. Our DMs are open,” the show later tweeted with a clip of the exchange.
