ROME — Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that he had a $ 44 billion bid to buy Twitter and used a social media platform to meet with Pope Francis.
"I'm honored to meet @Pontifex yesterday," Musk tweeted about the audience on Friday afternoon, with photos of Musk, Francis, and four teenagers from Musk.
The Vatican did not announce the audience or provide information about what was discussed. Musk's tweet follows one of the street scenes in Venice, suggesting that he may have stopped elsewhere on the tour.
Francis frequently meets prominent figures in a strictly personal audience held in the drawing room of the Vatican Hotel where he lives. The point of the story he often uses when meeting with the CEO of a company is to appeal to them to use their wealth and technology to help the poor while caring for God's creations.
On June 21, the Twitter board recommended that shareholders approve Musk's proposed purchase, but Twitter shares are well below his offer price, It shows that it is quite doubtful whether the sale will actually take place.
