Axios broke the news of the investment earlier Tuesday, noting that Endeavor is the first public company to be identified as an investor in Twitter. Musk took the social media giant private last year in a $44 billion acquisition backed by a number of financial institutions. He has let go of thousands of workers and signaled at times that bankruptcy could be in its future.The amount of the investment was characterized by the source as “immaterial” to the operations of Endeavor.
Musk was added to Endeavor’s board of directors in 2021 after the company had its IPO, though he later exited. Emanuel also got Musk booked as host of. A photo of a shirtless Musk photographed on a Yacht with Emanuel and several others circulated widely in mid-2022. After offering an unsolicited $44 billion bid for Twitter in the spring of 2022, Musk spent months in a legal fight to extricate himself from the deal given its enormous valuation. In the end, he withdrew his claims and the deal officially closed last October. The transaction kicked off a chaotic period of layoffs and disarray in the company’s operations, with many longtime advertisers heading to the sidelines amid the tumult.
