> Mr. Musk called the bid his “best and final offer,” adding that if his proposal isn’t accepted “I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder.” Mr. Musk earlier this year built a position of more than 9% in Twitter.

He could sell it for higher? People would probably buy the shares at higher price if they knew it came from Elon.

That is how Elon fandom works. He could sell paper shares at a premium.
