I am pretty convinced that Microsoft is about to acquire Twitter. Dorsey leaving Twitter is basically setting it up to be run by big tech. Would add 3-4B$ instant ad revenue to Microsoft's business. Without a mobile OS, Microsoft needs to own significant mobile properties in the consumer mindshare and Twitter is one they can easily grow to be much bigger than it is today. They can build an Xbox gaming social service on top of Twitter spaces (add video streaming to spaces). It just seems to make sense given they've been at the table to talk with Pinterest, Discord and Tiktok. Twitter seems like a deal they can get done and it's not unlike a Linkedin. In fact there are probably synergies there too. The stock dropping is also a sign that something could happen. Usually it gives extra room for a premium bump on an acquisition offer. If it's not Microsoft, someone is coming in soon.
