Prime Minister’s Tweet in English

Honoured to receive the Order of Oman (First Class). My gratitude to His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik, the government, and the people of Oman for this honour. This is a symbol of affection and trust between the people of India and Oman. For centuries, our ancestors have been connected with each other and engaged in maritime trade with one another. The Arabian Sea has become a strong bridge between our nations. I dedicate this honour to the people of India. I also dedicate this honour to our ancestors who laid the foundations of this relationship by travelling from Mandvi to Muscat. This honour is also dedicated to the seafarers who have, through centuries of exchange, contributed to the progress of both nations.

Prime Minister’s Tweet in Omani Arabic

تشرفتُ بتلقي وسام عُمان (من الدرجة الأولى). أتقدم بجزيل الشكر والامتنان لحضرة صاحب الجلالة السلطان هيثم بن طارق المعظم، ولحكومة وشعب عُمان على هذا التكريم. إنه رمزٌ للمودة والثقة بين شعبي الهند وعُمان. لطالما ارتبط أجدادنا، على مرّ القرون، ببعضهم البعض، من خلال التجارة البحرية. وقد أصبح بحر العرب جسراً متيناً يربط بين بلدينا. أهدي هذا الوسام إلى شعب الهند، وإلى أجدادنا الذين وضعوا أسس هذه العلاقة من خلال رحلاتهم من ماندفي إلى مسقط. كما أهديه إلى البحارة الذين أسهموا، عبر قرون من التبادل، في تقدم كلا البلدين.

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has completed the deal to buy the social media platform Twitter. According to reports, Musk has swung into action with the completion of the deal. He has escorted out the company’s Indian-origin CEO Parag Agrawal and two other top executives. These include the names of the company’s legal policy head Vijaya Gadde and chief financial officer, Ned Segal. With this, the ongoing dispute between Musk and Twitter for the last several months has also ended. Musk offered $44 billion to buy Twitter. But later he backed out of it. After this, Twitter dragged him to court. Had Musk not pursued the deal by Friday, the court hearing would have started. Tesla CEO Musk acquired the micro-blogging platform Twitter, after a long time but before the court’s deadline.

Musk was embroiled for several months over the acquisition of Twitter. The US court had given him a deadline of Friday to complete the acquisition of Twitter. Failure to do so, Musk has to face trial in court. However, Musk took over Twitter on Friday before the deadline.

Elon reached the Twitter office a day ago

Elon Musk shared a video of himself walking into the Twitter office yesterday, October 27. He shared this video on Wednesday, two days before Friday’s deadline to complete the agreement to buy Twitter for $ 44 billion. Musk also changed his Twitter profile and wrote ‘Tweet chief’ in his personal statement. He also changed his location to Twitter HQ. Musk can be seen carrying a ‘sink’ to the premises of the Twitter office in the video.

Discussions over the deal, which last week appeared uncertain, accelerated over the weekend after Musk wooed Twitter shareholders with financing details of his offer.

With the finalization of the deal, Twitter has now become a private company from a public company since its 2013 initial public offering.

Under the terms of the agreement, Twitter stockholders will receive $54.20 in cash for each share of Twitter common stock that they own upon closing of the proposed transaction. The purchase price represents a 38% premium to Twitter’s closing stock price on April 1, 2022, which was the last trading day before Mr. Musk disclosed his approximately 9% stake in Twitter.

Parag Agrawal, Twitter’s CEO, said, “Twitter has a purpose and relevance that impacts the entire world. Deeply proud of our teams and inspired by the work that has never been more important.”

“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” Musk said in a statement, adding, “I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential – I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it.”, tweets Elon Musk.

Twitter Inc. devised a ‘poison pill’ strategy on Friday to block billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk’s $43 billion cash acquisition attempt.

The rights will become exercisable under the ‘poison pill’ method if someone acquires 15% or more of Twitter’s outstanding common shares in a transaction not approved by the Board. To shield itself against billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk’s $43 billion cash acquisition offer, the microblogging tech company devised a limited-duration shareholder rights plan. According to Twitter, the rights plan will expire on April 14, 2023.

Musk made the offer in a letter to Twitter’s board of directors on April 13, and his $54.20 per share offer price was revealed in a regulatory filing. It’s a 38 percent premium over Twitter’s April 1 closing price. The last trading day before Musk’s over 9% ownership in the company made public was April 1.

Tesla’s head Elon Musk offers to buy Twitter

On Thursday, the Tesla Inc. chief executive officer Elon Musk offered to buy Twitter at $54.20 a share in cash, valuing the social media company at $43 billion.

“The board and I had many discussions about Elon joining the board, and with Elon directly. We were excited to collaborate and clear about the risks. We also believed that having Elon as a fiduciary of the company where he, like all board members, has to act in the best interest of the company and all our shareholders, was the best path forward. The board offered him a seat,” Agrawal said in a tweet.

“Elon’s appointment to the board was to become officially effective 4/9, but Elon shared that same morning he will no longer be joining the board. I believe this is for the best,” he wrote.

Agrawal tweeted last week that he was “happy” that Musk would join the board of Twitter after Musk announced a 9.2 percent investment in the company and became its largest stakeholder.

“There will be distractions ahead, but our goals and priorities remain unchanged. The decisions we make and how we execute is in our hands, no one else’s. Let’s tune out the noise, and stay focused on the work and what we’re building,” Parag Agarwal, CEO twitter added further.

Twitter’s share has dropped 7.5 percent since Musk revealed his stake on April 4, after soaring 27 percent the day before.

In Twitter voice DM, Users can send up to 140 seconds long voice messages in private chats. India is the third country after Brazil and Japan to get this feature.

How to Use Twitter Voice DM feature

First of all, open the chatbox of the contact you want to send message, then tap on the voice icon placed in the bottom right corner and start recording. After recording the voice message, tap stop icon to finish.

There is an option to hear the message or delete the message before finally sending it. If it is final to send the message, then tap the send icon.

This feature will be available for both Android and iOS users but at present only a few users can send the voice DM.

In an interview with CNBC, Ned Segal, CFO, Twitter, said, “The way our policies work, when you’re removed from the platform, you’re removed from the platform whether you’re a commentator, you’re a CFO or you are a former or current public official,”.

Twitter in a blog mentioned that Due to the ongoing tensions in the United States, and an uptick in the global conversation in regards to the people who violently stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, these two Tweets must be read in the context of broader events in the country and the ways in which the President’s statements can be mobilized by different audiences, including to incite violence, as well as in the context of the pattern of behavior from this account in recent weeks. After assessing the language in these Tweets against our Glorification of Violence policy, we have determined that these Tweets are in violation of the Glorification of Violence Policy and the user @realDonaldTrump should be immediately permanently suspended from the service.

According to the company, this feature will soon be tested on Android phones. Once successful in the test, this feature will be opened for common users. In this regard, Twitter itself has shared this thing with people from its official account. On Wednesday, the company gave information about the new feature and said that Twitter is making such an effort to crack down on misinformation and harmful content. From now on users will receive a warning while retweeting any article or post. It will contain a link to the article that users can read before posting. So that no such news is spread in a hurry whose credibility is doubted.

Twitter tweeted, “By sharing the article, the conversation can be taken forward. If you want to read the post before tweeting, then soon the option is going to be available. When you retweet an article even though you have not opened the article on Twitter, Twitter will ask you if you would like to open first?” Twitter has been accused of spreading misinformation, including political users and famous celebrities. It is believed that this initiative will help in curbing the flow of misinformation.

The step is considered after Twitter added a warning label to the tweet of US President Donald Trump. That warning label depicted trump had tweet it wrong. However, after this move of Twitter, Donald Trump now accused it of stopping free speech and interfering in the presidential election.
