Will Musk go hostile?
</span>
He appears to be threatening it; at least, that’s what his tweet quoting Elvis Presley’s “
<a class="css-5nb5nb et1n85g0" style="color:#286ed0;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline;font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit">
Love Me Tender
</a>
” appears to imply. In a tender offer, also known as a hostile bid, Musk would go directly to shareholders, asking them to “tender” their shares at a given price (his offer is $54.20 a share, for now). This would require him to
<a class="css-5nb5nb et1n85g0" style="color:#286ed0;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline;font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit">
file a form
</a>
with the S.E.C. that, among other things, provides details about the financing behind his bid. That’s important, because
<a class="css-5nb5nb et1n85g0" style="color:#286ed0;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline;font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit">
questions remain
</a>
about how Musk would get the cash to pay for a Twitter deal.

Could a hostile bid override Twitter’s poison pill?

No, but it could put pressure on Twitter’s board to remove the defense, if enough shareholders support Musk’s bid. In 2012, for example, CVR Energy

What is Twitter worth?
</span>
Several analysts said that they think Musk’s bid is too low, and the board is only likely to accept an offer of $60 per share or more. But that’s partially based on Twitter’s ability to reach lofty financial targets, which pushed its stock above $70 per share last year

That’s even harder to say. Musk has suggested that he would promote more “free speech” on the platform, but Twitter insiders point to

Will other buyers step in?
</span>
Maybe, maybe not. Antitrust concerns would likely make it hard for many corporate buyers, especially in the tech industry. It’s a sizable check for private equity, far surpassing last year’s $30 billion take-private of Medline, the largest leveraged buyout in more than a decade. Twitter’s limited free cash flow also makes it less attractive to finance with a lot of debt.
