Twitter shareholders voted on whether or not to approve the sale of the company to Musk for $54.20 per share.

[{"selector":"#anim-eb891f75-5b36-4f77-950b-d1237a281697","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ef42d10e-1314-4169-b038-139b1a8a2c73","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1e3f8055-ebfb-4cfd-94cf-cb1edff13934","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

As expected, shareholders voted to approve the sale.

However, Elon Musk has made it clear that he doesn’t want to buy the company anymore.

In July, he filed a letter signaling that he wanted to “terminate” the deal.

However, Twitter is trying to force him to go through with the deal and filed legal action.

A five-day trial date has been set for October to leave the acquisition up to a judge.

Financial analysts speculate it’s still possible for the two sides to reach a settlement before then.
