Mr Musk, who made the shock bid under about fourteen days prior, said Twitter had "gigantic potential" that he would open.
He additionally required a progression of changes from loosening up its substance limitations to annihilating phony records.
The firm at first repelled Mr Musk's offered, however it will presently request that investors vote to endorse the arrangement.

"I additionally need to improve Twitter than at any other time by upgrading the item with new highlights, making the calculations open source to increment trust, overcoming the spam bots, and confirming all people," he added.
"Twitter has huge potential - I anticipate working with the organization and the local area of clients to open it."
The move comes as Twitter faces developing strain from government officials and controllers over the substance that shows up on its foundation. It has drawn pundits from left and directly over its endeavors to intercede deception on the stage.
In one of its most high-profile moves, last year it restricted previous US President Donald Trump, maybe its most impressive client, refering to the gamble of "actuation of brutality".
At the time Mr Musk noticed: "A many individuals will be really discontent with West Coast super advanced as the true authority of free discourse."
Fresh insight about the takeover has been cheered by the solidly in the US, despite the fact that Mr Trump on Monday told Fox News he had no designs to re-join the stage.
The one who sent his games vehicle into space
The White House declined to remark on the takeover however representative Jen Psaki told journalists: "Regardless of who claims or runs Twitter, the president has for some time been worried about the force of enormous web-based entertainment stages."
On Twitter, MP Julian Knight, administrator of the UK's Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee, considered the arrangement an "remarkable advancement in the realm of virtual entertainment".
"It will be intriguing to perceive how an exclusive Twitter (an absolutist over free (run by a man discourse) will respond to worldwide moves to manage."
Dubious history
Mr Musk, who has in excess of 80 million adherents on Twitter, has a disputable history on the stage himself.
In 2018 US monetary controllers blamed him for misdirecting Tesla financial backers with his tweets, asserts that were settled in a $40 million repayment and that Mr Musk keeps on denying.
What's more, in 2019 he was hit with a maligning suit - which he effectively crushed - in the wake of calling a jumper associated with saving students in Thailand "pedo fellow" on the stage.
On Monday, Mr Musk, who has been known to conflict with writers and square pundits, proposed that he considered Twitter to be a gathering for banter.
"I trust that even my most terrible pundits stay on Twitter, since that free discourse implies," he composed only hours before the arrangement was declared.
Might Musk at any point turn Twitter around?
As a feature of the takeover, as would be considered normal to close not long from now, Twitter's portions will be delisted and it will be taken private.
Mr Musk has recommended this will give him opportunity to roll out the improvements he needs to the business.
Among different thoughts, he has recommended permitting longer posts and acquainting the capacity with alter them after they have been distributed.
Twitter shares on Monday shut over 5% higher after the arrangement was declared.
Yet, the cost remained lower than Mr Musk's $54.20 per share offer, a sign that Wall Street accepts he is overpaying for the firm.
Mr Musk has said he doesn't "care about the financial matters" of the buy. Be that as it may, he will take on an organization with a checkered record of monetary execution.
In spite of its impact, Twitter has seldom made money and client development, especially in the US, has eased back.
The organization, established in 2004, finished 2021 with $5bn in income and 217 million everyday clients universally - a small part of the figures guaranteed by different stages like Facebook.
Bret Taylor, seat of Twitter's board, said it had completely surveyed Mr Musk's deal and it was "the best way ahead for Twitter's investors".
Not satisfactory will lead the organization pushing ahead. Twitter is right now driven by Parag Agrawal, who took over from prime supporter and previous supervisor Jack Dorsey last November.
Be that as it may, in his deal report, Mr Musk told Twitter's board: "I don't believe in administration."
Mr Agrawal told representatives on Monday that the eventual fate of Twitter is dubious.
"When the arrangement closes, we don't know which bearing the stage will head," he expressed, as per the Reuters news office.
Investor vote
Mr Musk's focusing of Twitter has moved at momentous speed. It arose toward the start of April that he had turned into the biggest investor in the firm with a 9.2% stake.
He was then welcome to join Twitter's board yet turned down the proposal prior to sending off an unexpected bid for the organization on 14 April, saying he needed to "open" its true capacity as a stronghold of the right to speak freely of discourse.
Twitter attempted to fight off his bid, taking steps to weaken the shareholdings of any individual who purchased in excess of a 15% stake in the firm. Nonetheless, its position moved after Mr Musk uncovered more monetary insights concerning his proposed bid.
He has gotten $25.5bn of supporting for the arrangement and will take a $21bn stake in the business.
The board collectively endorsed the bid, which will currently be introduced to investors for a vote.
Elon Musk: Twitter's new lord
The speed this move has occurred at had many heads in Silicon Valley turning.
From no place, Elon Musk is the outright ruler of Twitter.
He personally has said it's not regarding the "financial aspects", this is about power and impact.
By taking the organization private he will practice all out command over Twitter.
He has the ability to do with the organization however he sees fit. By and by that will mean a lot lighter control strategy.
He additionally says that he will unveil its calculation - so that individuals can all the more likely comprehend how Twitter functions.
The move leaves the entryway open to Donald Trump's re-visitation of the stage, however he clearly says he would prefer to involve his own web-based entertainment stage Truth Social for the time being.
For quite a long time preservationists have contended that Twitter is one-sided against them - and the news has left Republicans in the US pleased.
Others have been left unnerved at what Twitter could resemble without solid stage balance.
You just have to take a gander at how much analysis Facebook has gotten for not bringing down bunches connected to the QAnon paranoid fear, or the Stop the Steal development to envision how much analysis Elon Musk is coming up for.
The peril that Twitter currently faces is that liberated free discourse via web-based entertainment can turn out to be appalling, rapidly.
