Elon Musk has made an offer to buy “100 percent of Twitter” for around $43 billion, according to a regulatory filing, with the tech mogul saying he wants to actualize the company’s “extraordinary potential” to become a true platform for free speech.

Musk offered to buy out Twitter for $54.20 per share in cash, according to a letter addressed to Twitter Chairman Bret Taylor, attached as an exhibit to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 14 (pdf).
