Twitter (TWTR) shareholders have voted in favor of Elon Musk’s $44 billion takeover bid for the social networking giant, according to Bloomberg. Shareholder approval was required for the completion of the deal.
The vote comes two weeks after a filing that showed the Telsa CEO had sent a second letter calling off his acquisition efforts.
