Poll: What could Musk's 'Plan B' for Twitter be?
In a filing published Thursday, $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ CEO Elon Musk offered to buy $Twitter (Delisted) (TWTR.US)$ for $54.20 a share, or about $43 billion.
Hours after the offer, Musk said he is "not sure" he'll actually be able to buy Twitter. And Twitter's price slipped into negative territory for the day -- 20% below Mr. Musk's offer.
Twitter's response
The Twitter board is set to meet at 10am EST to consider Elon Musk's offer to buy the company for $54.20 in all cash.
According to people familiar with the matter, Twitter has enlisted the help of $Goldman Sachs (GS.US)$ as it considers how to respond to Musk's hostile bid.
Goldman said $54.20 is too low to be taken seriously. However, they currently has a Sell rating on Twitter with a target price of $30 per share.
Musk's response
Elon Musk said he has a 'Plan B' if Twitter's board rejects his buyout offer, but declined to explain further.
Three possible scenarios
$Bank of America (BAC.US)$ laid out three possible scenarios for how Musk's takeover bid.
- Scenario one: The board accepts the offer in its current form.
Analysts said they see this as a "lower-probability scenario" as Twitter's board likely sees more potential in their company based on internal growth targets and historical valuations. After all, Twitter stock traded as high as $73.34 over the past 12 months.
- Scenario two: Involves Twitter's board rejecting the current offer and agreeing to a sweetened price with Musk or another firm.
- Scenario three: The board rejecting the current and any revised offers, forcing Musk to abandon his takeover attempt.

I got a rough wild guess but I don't want spoil the fun
Well, my guess may be wrong
But I think he will still try to get Twitter
Milk The Cow : The thing is Elon thinks he is paying a high premium price for the current Twitter stock price with 12mth TP 30USD (Goldman Sachs) which = About 80% premium price.![[undefined]](https://static.moomoo.com/nnq/emoji/static/image/default/default-black.png?imageMogr2/thumbnail/36x36 "undefined")
