“I made an offer,” was Elon Musk’s tweet on April 14, signaling that he’s interested in acquiring the social media giant, Twitter. A link to Musk’s terms, and transaction statement accompanied the declaration, gathering over 900k engagements in less than 12 hours and at the time of this writing. Needless to say, the tweet has gone viral.

On Twitter, we look at how people reacted in Japan.

It is possible that Elon Musk @elonmusk will acquire Twitter. PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX. A person who carves history into the world every time. A big change may occur ...! ?? I'm looking forward to seeing what happens because there are many people who make bold statements on my timeline these days.

なんとElon Musk氏@elonmusk がTwitter買収の可能性とのこと。PayPal、テスラ、スペースX。ことあるごとに世界に歴史を刻んできたお方。大きな変革が起きるかもしれない、、、！？最近タイムラインの表示に物申す人も多いからどうなるか楽しみ。— もんぐち社長｜7万人感謝企画 (@monguchitakuya) April 14, 2022

I was stunned by the news of Mr. Musk's (@elonmusk) acquisition of Twitter. What kind of future awaits us over the concerns of it being privatized, and the excitement is getting the better of me 😆 What will happen?

Before going to bed yesterday, after a lot of thought, I decided to buy Twitter stock in the morning. When I wake up in the morning, Elon Musk has an offer to buy Twitter ($ 52.20). What a morning. I was worried for a moment, but I tried to dig in. The current stock price is $ 45.34.

昨日寝る前に、色々と考えた末、朝一でTwitterの株を買おうと決めていた。朝起きると、Elon MuskからTwitter買収のオファー($52.20)が入っている。なんて朝だ。一瞬悩んだけど、思いっきり突っ込んでみた。現時点の株価は$45.34。 pic.twitter.com/PAldKcCmOu— Satoshi Nakajima 🇺🇦 (@snakajima) April 14, 2022

$TWTR Buy for an average of $47.29. I'm afraid of Elon’s whimsical attitude, so I plan to sell it soon.

Good morning everyone.

The US market last night was buzzing with Mr. Elon’s TWTR stock purchase report, but although it approached in the plus zone, it stalled in the second half, and even TWTR expanded the decline mainly on high tech. Dow also corrected -0.33%. NASDAQ was -2.14%. US 10-year bond interest rates have skyrocketed to 2.828%.

Tonight is going to be a yakiniku night.

みなさま、おはようございます。
イーロン氏のTWTR株式買付報道に沸いた昨夜の米国市場ですがプラス圏で寄り付いたものの後半失速、TWTRさえ含めハイテクを中心に下げを広げてダウもマイ転、ダウ-0.33%、NASDAQ-2.14%でした。米10年債金利は2.828%まで急上昇しています。

To Elon,

Is the acquisition funding going to be enough? I also have a personal view on Twitter, so if it seems that it is not enough, I can cooperate up to 100,000 yen. Don’t hesitate and feel free to contact me.
