Bill Ackman, a billionaire investor, said that he will definitely consider investing in Elon Musk’s X social media platform. He said a deal with the former Twitter site is possible with his new Special Purpose Acquisition Rights Company (SPARC) funding channel.
On Sunday, Ackman revealed the possible investment in X after his SPARC has been approved. According to CNBC, the well-known investor announced on Friday that the Securities and Exchange Commission has finally approved his financing vehicle.
Ackman’s Positive Response to Inquiry on X Investment
In a SPARC arrangement, the investors will know which company the funding vehicle would be used to merge with before they actually make a pledge for investments. And when Ackman was asked the past weekend if he would consider making a funding deal with X, he answered in the affirmative.
Ackman told the Walls Street Journal, which published the article first, that he would “absolutely” consider investing in X, formerly known as Twitter, through his newly established SPARC. Moreover, the billionaire’s investment company spokesman, Pershing Square Capital Management, told CNBC that it has nothing to add besides what it already told the WSJ.
“If your large private growth company wants to go public without the risks and expenses of a typical IPO, with Pershing Square as your anchor shareholder, please call me,” Ackman wrote in his post on X.
He also assured companies that they would respond at once should they express interest. “We promise a quick yes or no,” he said.
Ackman’s SPARC Seeking New Deals
The Pershing Square SPARC Holdings Ltd. said it will now seek out business collaborations with privately held firms. A regulatory filing indicated that SPARC will target companies that want to raise a minimum of $1.5 billion of capital.
Meanwhile, Reuters mentioned that Bill Ackman's new SPARC is a variant of a special purpose acquisition company or SPAC, a market that has already cooled down after reaching its peak in 2021. X has not commented on the statements from the billionaire investor.
