Elon Musk posted a video entering Twitter HQ.

In the video, Musk is seen carrying a bathroom sink in his hand.

It could be the first signal towards the acquisition.

The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, made a dramatic entrance into Twitter's headquarters on October 26, 2022. Apparently, the SpaceX and Tesla CEO entered the San Francisco premises of the microblogging platform carrying a bathroom sink in his hand. Yes, that's right; the world's most influential personality walked into Twitter's office with a white-coloured sink in his hand for some reason and posted a video of the same on his Twitter account. 

“Let that sink in,” says Musk

In this video, we can see Musk entering the premises, holding a sink, and talking to someone not visible in the camera. Guess what could be the caption of the video posted by Musk? It reads, "Entering Twitter HQ – let that sink in," which seems to be a word-play around his entrance into the Twitter premises after the back and forth with Twitter in the past few months and the object he's carrying with him, i.e., a sink. 

Earlier that day, Twitter's Chief Marketing Officer and Head of People, Leslie Berlan, notified the staff that Elon Musk would be in the office in the coming days, as per a report by Business Insider. The email reads, "you'll soon see or hear Elon is in the SF (San Francisco) office this week meeting with folks, walking the halls, and continuing to dive into the important work you all do." 

The email also says that it would be the beginning of many meetings and conversations with Elon, and all the employees will hear from him on Friday, i.e., October 28, 2022. Amidst these events, Musk changed his Twitter bio to "Chief Twit" on Wednesday. From what it looks like, Musk could have agreed to close the deal with Twitter. 

We can expect some big announcements on Friday, October 28, 2022

Earlier this month, Kathaleen McCormick, a Delaware judge, halted the Musk-Twitter case. McCormick gave both parties until October 28, 2022, to mend things and close the initial deal that valued the microblogging platform at $44 billion. Before that, Musk was supposed to appear for a trial on October 17, 2022. However, the judge's verdict gave him some time to arrange the hefty amount. 

As per the judge's condition, Elon could acquire Twitter for the aforementioned amount before the stipulated data. Elon agreed upon the same but on the condition that Twitter would withdraw the case against him. Now that the "Chief Twit" is roaming around the halls of Twitter's San Francisco headquarters, it appears the acquisition is on its way and could be announced anytime soon. Since Musk is about to address the employees on Friday, we can expect some headlines.
