Elon Musk Offers Twitter Employees Shares With A Value Of Nearly IDR 300.2 Trillion
JAKARTA - CEO of Twitter Inc, Elon Musk, has offered shares to employees of the social media company with a valuation of nearly 20 billion US dollars (Rp 300.2 trillion). This was first reported by The Information on Saturday, March 25, which cited a source familiar with the email sent by Musk to Twitter staff.
That's less than half of the $44 billion that Musk paid to buy the social media platform, reflecting Twitter's depreciation.
Twitter did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment via email regarding the story.
Musk said in December that Twitter was on track to be "roughly a cash flow breakeven point" in 2023 as major advertisers cut their spending on the social media platform following the billionaire's takeover.
