Elon Musk must find more cash for Twitter deal after scrapping margin loan
马斯克必须为Twitter收购筹集更多现金
Elon Musk must raise significantly more cash to finance his $44bn takeover of Twitter after allowing a $6.25bn margin loan commitment backed by his shares of electric carmaker Tesla to lapse.
埃隆•马斯克(Elon Musk)必须筹集更多现金，为其440亿美元的Twitter收购提供资金。此前他允许一笔62.5亿美元保证金贷款承诺失效，这笔贷款由他的电动汽车制造商特斯拉(Tesla)股份支持。
After ditching the margin loan, the amount of equity that Musk must secure to complete the deal now stands at $33.5bn, according to a regulatory filing from him on Wednesday.
根据马斯克周三提交的监管文件，在放弃保证金贷款后，他完成收购所需购买的股权现在价值为335亿美元。
It is the latest twist in his effort to buy Twitter. Earlier this month, the Tesla chief executive fuelled speculation that he was planning to walk away from the deal after claiming it “cannot move forward” until the social media company provides proof of the number of fake accounts. He later added he was “still committed to [the] acquisition” but indicated he may want to renegotiate the takeover price.
这是马斯克收购Twitter的最新转折。本月早些时候，这位特斯拉首席执行官声称，在Twitter提供虚假账户数量的证据之前，收购交易“无法推进”，这引发了他计划退出交易的猜测。他后来补充道，他“仍致力于收购”，但表示可能希望重新谈判收购价格。
