Elon Musk Twitter deal deadline looms

From Morning Report, 6:12 am on 28 October 2022

The clock is ticking for Elon Musk to close his deal to acquire Twitter - and he may have dropped a hint the buyout is happening. He has until tomorrow to finalise the $NZ75 billion takeover, which would end the months-long soap opera that's seen him wanting to buy the social network, then trying to back out of any deal. The world's richest man made a splashy appearance at Twitter's company's headquarters yesterday when he walked into the building carrying a bathroom sink, and tweeted "entering Twitter HQ - let that sink in!"
