Twitter’s board of directors has approved a $44 billion takeover bid by billionaire Elon Musk. <\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Musk, who made the shock offer less than two weeks ago, has claimed he is the right person to “unleash” the social media company’s “extraordinary potential”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He has proposed a range of changes, from easing content restrictions to getting rid of fake accounts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The company initially rejected Mr Musk’s offer but will now ask shareholders to vote to approve the deal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Musk is the richest man in the world, according to Forbes magazine, with an estimated net worth of $273.6 billion, largely due to his stake in electric vehicle maker Tesla, which he runs. He also heads the aerospace company SpaceX.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Freedom of expression is the foundation of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital marketplace where important issues affecting the future of humanity are debated,” Musk said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI also want to make Twitter better than ever by improving the product with new features, open-sourcing algorithms to increase trust, defeat spam bots, and authenticate everyone. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
