"Piper Sandler analysts called the offer “reasonable” while Bloomberg observed that a competing bid would be unlikely to exceed $50 billion. At $54.20 per share, Musk is seeking to take the company private for a total of roughly $43 billion.

The most confounding take came from Goldman Sachs, whose strategists were hired to advise Twitter’s board in regard to Musk’s offer. They said $54.20 was too low to be taken seriously, yet Goldman currently has a SELL rating on TWTR with a price target of just $30 per share."

Debbie is definitely uneasy about an un-stifled Musk twitter platform.

Mark Cuban says Musk is just pumping the stock price on the 10% of twitter he owns and he'll sell out for a good profit.  Musk did similar with Tesla, announcing he was going to take it private. Stock shot up.

Looking at my timeline at Mastodon.social.  People are reporting a flood of new signups that is taxing the timeline with some saying TL is an hour behind.

Admins from other Mastodon communities are also reporting a big influx.

Looks like a bunch of Twitter users are stomping out.
