How do you short "Elon Musk" stock? You can only short companies the acquirer owns, not the acquirer himself, so this does not count as "merger arbitrage" under the definition you linked.

This is a cash merger. You buy TWTR stock.

The Wikipedia article says “Last edited 1 year ago by GreenC bot”.

Making serious accusations is extremely bad behaviour - at least check your facts.

The comment was edited after I responded to it. I made no claims about the wikipedia article though I see how the 'it' in not clear.
