It&#8217;s not only Elon Musk who is interested. Apparently, Apple CEO Tim Cook is also in the running. But which company will be the most likely to buy Twitter? Will Google buy it or will it be Trump? Read on to find out. And, of course, we can&#8217;t forget Elon Musk. Here are five possible candidates:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Elon_Musk\"><\/span>Elon Musk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A recent lawsuit filed by Twitter against Elon Musk asks a Delaware court to enforce an agreement between the two companies to buy Twitter. The lawsuit alleges that Musk violated the terms of the agreement to buy the company. According to Guhan Subramanian, a Harvard Law School professor and chair of the Program on Negotiation, Musk should have kept all records of the deal. He is also an expert witness in the litigation filed by Tesla shareholder plaintiffs against Musk.<\/p>\n<p>The move has generated a lot of corporate drama. Musk is already the biggest shareholder at Twitter and wants to buy the rest of the company&#8217;s stock for $43 billion, or 15% more than the current price. Musk has written to the board chairman of Twitter stating that the acquisition would help the social media site become a private company. Regardless of the deal, it&#8217;s unclear if Twitter&#8217;s investors will approve it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Donald_Trump\"><\/span>Donald Trump<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Elon Musk&#8217;s decision to cancel his deal to buy Twitter has frustrated conservatives and spurred new attacks on the company&#8217;s management. Musk said he would restore banned accounts and relax content moderation policies. Since the company banned conservatives last year, conservatives have sought alternative platforms and Twitter&#8217;s potential purchase by Trump could pose a problem. According to Trump Jr., the decision &#8220;shows that censorship politics are alive and well on the internet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Musk&#8217;s halt to the Twitter buyout deal comes as the number of spam accounts on the site continues to rise. Musk has been concerned about the influx of fake accounts and bots on the site, but has pledged to let Trump get back on the platform. Elon Musk has made it clear he will allow Trump to rejoin Twitter, despite the controversy surrounding Elon Musk. While Musk wants to buy Twitter, the former president has been spreading lies about his 2020 election defeat. Musk has not responded to the president&#8217;s comments on Twitter yet.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Google\"><\/span>Google<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After tweeting about their board seat rejection and feature requests, Elon Musk has made it known that he wants to buy Twitter. But will he succeed? If so, will Twitter shareholders allow Google to take over? Or will Twitter rebuff Musk&#8217;s bid and stay independent? The answer to these questions will likely be revealed in the coming days. The question is what&#8217;s in it for Twitter and what will happen if Musk backs out?<\/p>\n<p>Among the many reasons why Google wants to buy Twitter, it is clear that the company has a clear path to market dominance. Google already offers a slew of communication tools through its Gmail account, but it&#8217;s hard to imagine how that would compete with Twitter&#8217;s popularity. The real-time updates are what keep users coming back. Twitter is unlikely to sell for a low price, and it may fall in value as a result of the lack of media attention.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apple_CEO_Tim_Cook\"><\/span>Apple CEO Tim Cook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s no surprise that Apple CEO Tim Cook wants to buy Twitter. After all, his company&#8217;s products are so popular that they practically sell themselves. And every company could benefit from having a CEO who&#8217;s passionate about his product. But is he the right person to do it? Let&#8217;s take a look at the pros and cons. What&#8217;s more, he might have the money to do it.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, it&#8217;s worth mentioning that the company has a long history of ignoring its investors. In 2016, the company lost a whopping $9.3 billion to Facebook, and now Cook wants to buy Twitter. In fact, it&#8217;s not clear whether he will be successful. However, if he does buy it, Apple&#8217;s stock price is likely to rise a staggering ten-fold.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amazon_CEO_Jeff_Bezos\"><\/span>Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the past few weeks, Bezos has made headlines with his proposal to buy Twitter. While he is not the company&#8217;s CEO anymore, he still holds the aviation glasses that Amelia Earhart wore when she flew to the moon. The Amazon CEO has also spoken out against Elon Musk&#8217;s bid to buy Twitter, suggesting China could take control of the social networking site.<\/p>\n<p>While Twitter is a popular messaging app for users, it&#8217;s hard to imagine the company doing much more than that. Its content is so good that many people use it to connect with brands, and a Twitter purchase would give Amazon more reach and protection from pressures of being a public company. However, the two companies don&#8217;t see a common ground on this issue. If Amazon were to buy Twitter, they would be a good match.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tesla_CEO_Elon_Musk\"><\/span>Tesla CEO Elon Musk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The rumor mill is abuzz about Tesla CEO Elon Musk&#8217;s plans to buy Twitter, but the deal appears to be in trouble. While a wide section of Wall Street thinks the deal is doomed, it&#8217;s doubtful it will actually fall through. Musk&#8217;s erratic management style and sudden proclamations have made him a popular figure in the ranks of Twitter employees. While many Twitter employees were initially skeptical of Musk&#8217;s plan to buy the company, others are enthusiastic about the prospect of working with the billionaire Tesla CEO.<\/p>\n<p>The acquisition is a &#8220;good thing,&#8221; says Elon Musk, who says a private company is the best place to make platform changes. Twitter&#8217;s board unanimously approved the deal. The deal requires approval by Twitter&#8217;s shareholders and regulatory approvals. However, Twitter&#8217;s CEO Parag Agrawal predicts that the deal could close in three to six months. The deal has a lot of twists and turns reminiscent of a Shyamalan film.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"407\" height=\"227\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BRIWJuqdjag\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who Wants to Buy Twitter?
