Read Elon Musk's letter to Twitter saying he'll honor the original $44 billion deal if there's an 'immediate' end to their court battle

• Elon Musk is looking for a quick end to months of litigation with Twitter.
• The billionaire is again offering to buy Twitter at the price he agreed to in April.

Lawyers for Elon Musk on Tuesday sent Twitter a letter offering again to acquire the company for $44 billion, and looking for a quick to end months of litigation.

Sent late on Monday by Musk lawyer Mike Ringler at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom and filed confidentially with the Delaware Court of Chancery the following day, the letter is a straightforward renewal of Musk's April agreement to take Twitter private at $54.20 per share. The letter is being reviewed by Twitter lawyers and the deal seems likely to be accepted.

"We received the letter from the Musk parties which they have filed with the SEC," a spokesperson for Twitter said. "The intention of the company is to close the transaction at $54.20 per share"
