New obstacles in concluding a deal for Musk's purchase of Twitter

The uncertainty surrounding the deal to buy Twitter by Elon Musk may lead to the disruption of plans to attract an additional $ 2-3 billion from third-party investors. 

At the moment, Musk's attempts to organize new financing of the transaction have been suspended. In total, the entrepreneur planned to invest $ 33.5 billion in the transaction, and to attract the rest (of the total $ 44 billion) from outside investors. 

It is clarified that Musk intended to receive additional financing from a group of private investment companies led by Apollo Global Management Inc in exchange for preferred shares of Twitter. 

However, back on April 15, Twitter's board of directors adopted a shareholder rights protection plan, which was supposed to prevent an undesirable takeover of the company by Musk. On April 25, the parties still managed to agree on a deal. According to the agreements, Musk will buy Twitter for $ 44 billion ($54.2 per share).

But in May, the conclusion of the deal was again in question: Elon Musk stated his desire to make sure that spam and fake Twitter accounts account for less than 5%. And the day before yesterday, on June 6, Musk accused Twitter that the company refuses to provide this information and thus violates the agreement on the deal.
