Let’s see what happens. I doubt very much the scenario you outline will come to pass. Nobody wants this deal any more and he can drag all their dirty laundry into it (bots, fake daus etc).

This will just slowly fade from memory as the lawyers argue and at some point they’ll settle.

Twitter shareholders do. If I hold $1m in TWTR today, this deal going through is worth around 500K to me, possibly more if we assume the share value now prices in the buyout potential and will drop otherwise.

Carl Icahn or Paul Singer would love to deal with it. They might well settle, but it might well be for $15 bill.
