Finally, billionaire Elon Musk has bagged Twitter for $44 billion, realizing his ambition to redefine free speech in the world.

The deal was sealed last night, and the company confirmed the buyover—at $54.20 per share.

After the announcement, Musk urged his critics to remain on Twitter because that is what free speech means.
