It would appear that it’s all over but the crying at this point for leftists on Twitter as the popular social media platform has just announced that “it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an entity wholly owned by Elon Musk, for $54.20 per share in cash in a transaction valued at approximately $44 billion.”
