Elon Musk has said he intends to proceed with his original $54.20 per share offer to acquire Twitter, the social media giant.

A letter filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, showed Musk will follow through on the $44 billion acquisition pending the receipt of the deal’s debt financing.

Twitter had first accepted Musk’s offer in April this year.
