Elon Musk used an upside-down smile emoji on Saturday in a response to a tweet he sent more than four years ago about how much it would cost to buy Twitter Inc.
The Tesla Inc. Chief executive officer, who earlier this week launched a $43 billion hostile takeover offer for the social media company, was commenting on a tweet thread from December 2017 in which he expressed his admiration for Twitter and asked how much it cost to buy.
The âupside-down smileâ emoji is used as an indication of frustration or bemused resignation, according to emojipedia. Twitter on Friday adopted a so-called âpoison pillâ provision in an attempt to thwart Muskâs takeover attempt.
