After Elon Musk bid several billion dollars to buy Twitter, users of the social network started making memes about the event, which took everyone by surprise despite the fact that in recent weeks there have been several news stories on the subject.
And it is that it was recently reported that the CEO of Tesla owns more than 9% of the social network, and because of this, it was said that he would become part of the board of directors of this network. However, it was later announced that no such thing would happen, and now, a few days later, Musk said he was willing to buyTwitter.
Although several events had already occurred around the tycoon and the social network, the sudden proposal to pay $54.20 per share, that is, a total of $41 billion for the entire company, was not expected.
This price represents a 38% premium compared to the closing of Twitter on April 1, the last trading day before Tesla's CEO's share of more than 9% was made public. The total value of the transaction has been calculated on the basis of 763.58 million outstanding shares, according to data from Refinitiv.
Such news could not be overlooked by users, who through the memes expressed their opinion on the billionaire offer of Elon Musk, who could make several changes to the platform if he takes control.
There were those who resumed the scene of The Lord of the Rings when Aragorn walks in front of the Army of the Dead, as if it were Musk reviving the accounts suspended by Twitter, after buying the company.
And given the possible changes that would occur, should Musk's offer be accepted, there are those who hope that his posts with Elon Musk memes will not be enough reason to lose their accounts.
There was no shortage of the meme that recalled that the Twitter board of directors “criticized” Elon Musk, suggesting that she start her own social network if she didn't like it and had a lot of changes for her. In the second frame of the meme, they place a surprised face that would represent Twitter when they saw that the tycoon instead of making his own social network will buy his own.
Some also mocked the news, stating that if Elon Musk acquires Twitter, the logo could change. The capital T of the social network would be equal to that of Tesla.
They also joked that, in addition to changing the Twitter T, it could change the iconic blue bird with the silhouette of a white dog on a blue background.
Others joked that, if the purchase proposal is accepted, the platform's employees will be afraid of the new orders and orders that Elon Musk will make.
Others suspect that Elon Musk's offer coincides with the most recent controversy of actor Johnny Deep and Amber Heard because the millionaire does not want information circulating on the social network linking him to the case.
Another joke was related to the fact that there are those who can pay more money to buy Twitter than Elon Musk.
Similarly, they made fun of Elon Musk because his plans to improve Twitter are based on buying the platform entirely, a solution similar to that of Bruce Wayne.
The billionaire, who currently owns nearly 73 and a half million shares in the courier company, had become a critic of the social network and had questioned whether its rules “rigorously” adhere to the principle of freedom of expression.
