Bill Ackman's Ambition Soars: New Investment Vehicle Targets Musk's X
Portfolio Pulse from Aditi Ganguly
Billionaire hedge fund investor Bill Ackman, CEO of Pershing Square Holdings Ltd., has expressed interest in taking X public again through his newly approved special purpose acquisition rights company (SPARC). X, formerly Twitter, was taken over by Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk last year. Ackman believes that X's substantial debt burden of approximately $13 billion could be a compelling incentive for Musk to consider the proposed deal. However, the likelihood of Pershing Square successfully finalizing a deal with Musk remains uncertain.
