Crypto Twitter had mixed feelings about Justin Sun’s offer to buy Twitter
The founder and former CEO of TRON, Justin Sun, has proposed a counter-offer to Elon Musk’s intent to buy Twitter at $54.20 per share.
Mr. Sun, who is now an ambassador and Permanent Representative of Grenada to the World Trade Organization, is offering $60 per share to buy Twitter. This amount is roughly 10.7% higher than Elon Musk’s offer.
I believe @Twitter is far from unleashing its full potential, thus I am offering $60 per share to take the platform private. But we fully support the reform initiatives of @elonmusk and would love to see Twitter becoming crypto-native and Web3 friendly.
