Billionaire Ken Griffin has committed to back Elon Musk’s bid to buy Twitter Inc., according to a person familiar with the matter, though the amount he pledged was less than $20 million.

The backing from Griffin, who has an estimated net worth of $29.2 billion, hadn’t been disclosed publicly by Musk. Twitter had described the Citadel founder as an “actual or potential” co-investor in the equity financing for the deal.
