(the “Issuer” or “Twitter”). This amendment to the Schedule 13D constitutes Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Except as set forth herein, the Schedule 13D is unmodified.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

The information set forth in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

On May 4, 2022, Parent received equity commitment letters, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit M (the “Co-Investor Equity Commitment Letters”), from each of the investors (or one or more of such investor’s affiliates) listed in the following two tables (each such investor, or one or more of its affiliates, an “Equity Investor”), providing for an aggregate of approximately $7.139 billion in new financing commitments in connection with Parent’s proposed acquisition of Twitter pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the conditions set forth in the Co-Investor Equity Commitment Letters.

Each Equity Investor listed in the following table has committed to contribute to Parent, at or immediately prior to the closing of the Merger and subject to the conditions set forth in the Co-Investor Equity Commitment Letters, cash in the amount set forth opposite such Equity Investor’s name in the following table in order to fund a portion of the Merger Consideration contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Certain Equity Investors have retained an option to satisfy such Equity Investor’s equity commitment with shares of Common Stock held by such Equity Investor (valued at $54.20 per share).

The Equity Investor listed in the following table has committed to contribute to Parent, at or immediately prior to the closing of the Merger and subject to the conditions set forth in the Co-Investor Equity Commitment Letters, existing shares of Common Stock held by such Equity Investor in the amount set forth opposite such Equity Investor’s name in the following table (valued at $54.20 per share) in order to retain an equity investment in Twitter following completion of the Merger in lieu of receiving Merger Consideration in the Merger.

The aggregate principal amount of the commitments available to Parent pursuant to that certain debt commitment letter, dated April 25, 2022 (the “Margin Loan Commitment Letter”), from Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and certain other financial institutions party thereto as commitment parties (collectively, the “Margin Loan Commitment Parties”) pursuant to which the Margin Loan Commitment Parties committed to provide an initial principal amount of $12.5 billion in margin loans to fund the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, were reduced to an aggregate principal amount of $6.25 billion.

On April 25, 2022, Parent received the Amended Equity Commitment Letter from the Reporting Person providing for an aggregate of $21 billion in financing commitments in connection with Parent’s proposed acquisition of Twitter pursuant to the Merger Agreement. On May 4, 2022, the Amended Equity Commitment Letter (the “Second Amended Equity Commitment Letter”) was amended to increase the financing commitments thereunder to $27.25 billion.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Co-Investor Equity Commitment Letter attached hereto as Exhibit M, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The Reporting Person (on behalf of Parent) is seeking and Parent may receive additional financing commitments to fund additional portions of the total Merger Consideration, which commitments, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, may replace portions of the financing commitments previously reported by the Reporting Person in connection with the Merger Agreement and the Merger contemplated thereby. In addition, the Reporting Person (on behalf of Parent) is having, and will continue to have, discussions with certain existing holders of Common Stock (including Jack Dorsey) regarding the possibility of contributing such shares of Common Stock to Parent, at or immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, in order to retain an equity investment in Twitter following completion of the Merger in lieu of receiving Merger Consideration in the Merger. Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, any such contribution commitments may replace portions of the financing commitments previously reported by the Reporting Person in connection with the Merger Agreement and the Merger contemplated thereby.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

By virtue of the arrangements between the Reporting Person and the Equity Investors described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person and the Equity Investors who currently beneficially own any shares of Common Stock may be deemed to have formed a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. However, neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that the Reporting Person and the Equity Investors who currently beneficially own any shares of Common Stock are members of any such group. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership over any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any of the Equity Investors.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:

Re: Equity Financing Commitment

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to (i) the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as April 25, 2022 (as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Twitter, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), X Holdings II, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Acquisition Sub”), X Holdings I, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and, solely for purposes of specified provisions set forth therein, Elon R. Musk (the “Principal”) and (ii) the Equity Commitment Letter, dated as April 25, 2022 (as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Principal Equity Commitment Letter”) by and among the Principal and Parent. It is contemplated that, (x) pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”) and (y) in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger, Parent, the Equity Investors (as defined below) and certain other equity investors, shall negotiate in good faith and execute an Interim Investors’ Agreement, an Investors’ Agreement, a Securities Purchase Agreement and any other documents reasonably required by the Principal, in each case, consistent with the terms set forth on Exhibit A hereto. Each term used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Merger Agreement.

This letter agreement is being delivered by [●] ([●] and their successors, the “Equity Investors”) to Parent in connection with the Merger Agreement.

1.             Commitment. This letter agreement confirms the commitment of each Equity Investor on a several (and not joint or joint and several) basis, subject to the conditions set forth herein, to, directly or indirectly, contribute to or otherwise provide equity capital to Parent at or immediately prior to the Closing (or cause a permitted assignee to do the same) in the amounts set forth opposite such Equity Investor’s name on Exhibit B hereto (such amount with respect to each Equity Investor, the “Aggregate Equity Commitment”). Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this letter agreement, no Equity Investor (together with its successors) shall have any obligation under any circumstances to contribute to, or otherwise provide to, Parent, directly or indirectly, funds in an amount in excess of the Aggregate Equity Commitment. The Aggregate Equity Commitments shall be funded in United States Dollars in immediately available funds. The obligation of each Equity Investor (together with its successors) to fund the Aggregate Equity Commitment is subject to (i) the terms of this letter agreement, (ii) the conditions to Parent’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 of the Merger Agreement being satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by the taking of actions or delivery of documents at the Closing, but subject to the prior or substantially contemporaneous satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing) and (iii) substantially contemporaneous receipt by Parent or Acquisition Sub of the cash proceeds of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Debt Commitment Letters or any Alternative Financing that Parent accepts from alternative sources pursuant to Section 6.10(c) of the Merger Agreement (subject only to the funding of (x) the Aggregate Equity Commitments contemplated by this letter agreement, (y) the “Aggregate Equity Commitment” as contemplated by the Principal Equity Commitment Letter and (z) the “Aggregate Equity Commitments” as contemplated by letter agreements in substantially the same form as this letter agreement, in each case, entered into by certain co-investors and Parent). The amount of the Aggregate Equity Commitments to be funded pursuant to this letter agreement may not be reduced by the Equity Investors without the prior written consent of Parent. The Principal in his sole discretion may reduce the amount of the Aggregate Equity Commitment to be funded by the Equity Investors pursuant to this letter agreement. The Aggregate Equity Commitments (or any amounts contributed or funded as contemplated pursuant to the prior sentence) shall be used solely as will be required, and solely to the extent necessary, to fund the amounts required to be funded by Parent in connection with the Merger Agreement, solely to the extent and when required to be paid on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Merger Agreement and not for any other purpose whatsoever.

2.             Termination. Each Equity Investor’s obligation to fund its Aggregate Equity Commitment will terminate automatically and immediately upon the earliest to occur of (a) the institution or assertion of any action, suit, claim, arbitration or other proceeding, whether at law, in equity or otherwise (a “Claim”), by the Company or any of its controlled Affiliates against any of the Equity Investors, Acquisition Sub, Parent, the Principal or any Related Party (as defined below) arising under, or in connection with, this letter agreement, the Merger Agreement, or any the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (a “Prohibited Claim”), other than a Claim by the Company against any Equity Investor, Acquisition Sub, Parent and/or the Principal in accordance with, and solely to the extent permitted under, the Merger Agreement, seeking (A) specific performance or other equitable remedies against any Equity Investor, Acquisition Sub, Parent and the Principal or (B) payment of the Parent Termination Fee (the foregoing clause, the “Non-Prohibited Claims”), (b) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 thereof (unless the Company shall have previously commenced an action, suit or proceeding pursuant to Section 9.9 of the Merger Agreement or Section 5 of this letter agreement, in which case the obligations set forth in Section 1 of this letter agreement shall terminate upon the final, non-appealable resolution of such action, suit or proceeding by a court of competent jurisdiction and the satisfaction by the Equity Investors of any obligations finally determined (if any) or agreed to be owed by the Equity Investors, consistent with the terms hereof), (b) the Closing (if the Closing occurs) (but only if the obligation to fund the Aggregate Equity Commitments pursuant to Section 1 of this letter agreement shall have been discharged in connection therewith) or (c) the valid termination of the Principal Equity Commitment Letter. Upon the termination or expiration of this letter agreement, no party hereto shall have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder.

3.             Representations and Warranties. Each Equity Investor hereby represents and warrants that:

(a)             it has all necessary power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this letter agreement;

(b)             the execution, delivery and performance of this letter agreement by the Equity Investor (i) has been duly and validly authorized and approved by all necessary action and (ii) does not and will not (x) violate any rule of Law, (y) contravene any provision of the Equity Investor’s charter, partnership agreement, operating agreement or similar organizational documents or (z) result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to the loss of any benefit under any material contract binding on the Equity Investor’s assets to which he is a party;

(c)             all consents, approvals, authorizations, permits of, filings with and notifications to, any Governmental Authority necessary for the due execution, delivery and performance of this letter agreement by the Equity Investor have been obtained or made and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this letter agreement;

(d)             this letter agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Equity Investor enforceable against the Equity Investor in accordance with its terms, except (i) as may be limited by any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar legal requirements affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) is subject to general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise; and

(e)             it has the financial capacity to pay and perform its obligations under this letter agreement for so long as this letter agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with Section 2 hereof.

4.             Assignment; Reliance. No Equity Investor may assign any of its obligations to fund the Aggregate Equity Commitment without the prior written consent of Parent.

5.             Recourse.

(a)             Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this letter agreement, Parent and the Company, by their acceptance of the benefits of the Aggregate Equity Commitment provided herein, covenant, acknowledge and agree that no party other than the Equity Investors (or their successors) shall have any obligation hereunder and that, (a) no recourse (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) hereunder or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith, or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, shall be had against any former, current or future direct or indirect director, officer, employee, agent, partner, manager, member, security holder, Affiliate, stockholder, controlling party, assignee or representative of the undersigned, other than the parties hereto or their assignees (any such party, other than the parties hereto or their assignees, or Parent or Acquisition Sub, a “Related Party” and together, the “Related Parties”), or any Related Party of any Related Party of any party hereto (including, without limitation, in respect of any liabilities or obligations arising under, or in connection with, this letter agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith) or with respect to any legal action (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise), including, without limitation, in the event Parent or Acquisition Sub breaches its obligations under the Merger Agreement and including whether or not the breach by Parent or Acquisition Sub is caused by the breach by the Equity Investors of their respective obligations under this letter agreement) whether by the enforcement of any judgment or assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law; and (b) no personal liability whatsoever will attach to, be imposed on or otherwise incurred by any Related Party of any party hereto or any Related Party of any Related Party of any party hereto under this letter agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith (or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith) or for any legal action (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations hereunder or by their creation or any legal or equitable proceeding (including, without limitation, alleging an alter ego theory or seeking to piece the corporate veil or otherwise); provided, that the Related Parties are third party beneficiaries of this Section 5(a).

(b)             This letter agreement may only be enforced by Parent in its sole discretion or, solely to the extent set forth in the proviso to the next sentence, the Company. The Company shall have no right to enforce this letter agreement except solely to the extent set forth in the following proviso and no third party, including any of Parent’s creditors, shall have any right to enforce this letter agreement or to cause Parent to enforce this letter agreement; provided, however, that, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and this letter agreement, the Company is hereby made a third party beneficiary of the rights granted to Parent hereby for the purpose of seeking specific performance of Parent’s right to cause the Aggregate Equity Commitment to be funded hereunder, or to directly cause the Equity Investor to fund the Aggregate Equity Commitment hereunder, without any requirement that such enforcement be at the direction of Parent, and for no other purpose (including, without limitation, any claim for monetary damages hereunder).

6.             Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This letter agreement and all actions, proceedings or counterclaims (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this letter agreement, or the actions of the parties hereto in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereto hereby (i) expressly and irrevocably submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware in the event any dispute arises out of this letter agreement or the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this letter agreement or the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement in any court other than the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, (iv) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this letter agreement and (v) agrees that each of the other parties shall have the right to bring any action or proceeding for enforcement of a judgment entered by the state courts of the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware or any federal court sitting in the State of Delaware.

Each party hereto irrevocably consents to the service of process outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in this Section 6 in any such action or proceeding by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified U.S. mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to its address as specified in or pursuant to Section 8. However, the foregoing shall not limit the right of a party to effect service of process on the other party by any other legally available method.

7.             Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This letter agreement, and the terms set forth on Exhibit A (together with any arrangements or agreements entered into pursuant thereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This letter agreement may only be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or waived by a written instrument signed by each of the parties hereto and the Company (it being agreed that the Company is an intended third party beneficiary of this sentence). No action taken pursuant to this letter agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation contained herein. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

8.             Notices.
