Elon Musk broke his silence tonight on the reversal that he had made today, which is to go ahead with purchasing Twitter rather than going to court.

As we previously reported, Twitter’s stock was halted after Musk reportedly agreed once again to proceed with the deal at the original price of $54.20.

It was later reported that the deal was all but completed.

Private texts between Musk and Jack Dorsey were recently published in the news and they indicated that Musk possibly had larger plans.

One Twitter user responded to Musk, ”I think it would have been easier to just start X from scratch tho.”

Musk replied, ”Twitter probably accelerates X by 3 to 5 years, but I could be wrong.”
