Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk secured the necessary funding to make a tender offer to buy Twitter, according to a new regulatory filing.

The filing shows that Musk received $46.5 billion in commitment to help finance the proposed deal, the *Epoch Times* [reports](https://www.theepochtimes.com/musk-secures-46-5-billion-funding-to-buy-twitter-says-ready-for-tender-offer_4418646.html?utm_source=newsnoe&utm_campaign=breaking-2022-04-21-2&utm_medium=email&est=wwZ9b%2BuKTaS%2FirJILZZTFZSz9051diGSr25MEmZcS00%2BtXkdKbmATDfKWlrMgvkheiFO69AHyA1Q0A%3D%3D).

Musk is contemplating a plan to approach Twitter shareholders directly and offer to buy them out.

According to the document, Musk has secured $25.5 billion in debt financing from Morgan Stanley Senior Funding and other financial institutions, including Bank of America, Barclays, and Mizuho. He has also committed to provide $21 billion in equity financing.

“Twitter has not responded to the proposal,” Musk said, according to the filing. “Given the lack of response by Twitter,” Musk is “exploring whether to commence a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares” at $54.20 per share.
