Elon Musk visits Twitter carrying sink as deal looms

Billionaire Elon Musk posted a video on Twitter of him walking into Twitter’s headquarters carrying a sink, raising speculation about the fate of his planned takeover. 

Musk faces a Friday deadline to complete the $44bn takeover – which was announced months ago but then abandoned, before U-turning once more. 

Musk agreed to more forward with the original deal, earlier this month – just weeks before a court trial over him abandoning the sale was set to start. 

“Entering Twitter HQ – let that sink in!” He wrote. 

In business parlance, “Kitchen sinking” means taking radical action at a company. He also updated his Twitter bio to read “chief twit.”
