Twitter shares plummeted<\/a> Friday after new doubts about whether Elon Musk\u2019s planned $44 billion acquisition of the platform would go through. The share price dropped more than 10 percent at market open, trading as much as 14 points below the nominal acquisition price of $54.20 a share.<\/p>\n
The proximate cause of the drop was a series of confusing statements from Musk, who tweeted that the deal<\/a> was \u201ctemporarily on hold\u201d pending an investigation into the total number of bot accounts on the platform. Twitter had claimed in a filing<\/a> that bots compose less than 5 percent of daily active users on the platform, although many believe the real figure is higher. <\/p>\n
Musk later clarified<\/a> that he was \u201cstill committed to the acquisition,\u201d but uncertainty about the deal has proven difficult to dispel.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cNo concrete answers as to the path of this deal going forward\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nSince the terms of the deal were established, there have been significant market shifts for both Twitter and Tesla, the source of the lion\u2019s share of Musk\u2019s personal wealth. Tesla stock has dropped more than 25 percent since Musk made his offer on April 14th as part of a broader market downturn. <\/p>\nThe falling share price could have a material impact on Musk\u2019s ability to close the deal since a portion of the funding was initially secured<\/a> through loans against Musk\u2019s stake in Tesla. However, recent reporting from Bloomberg<\/em><\/a> suggests Musk has arranged for new equity partners to assist in financing the deal, obviating the need for the loan.<\/p>\n
Twitter has also struggled, announcing an overcount of user numbers<\/a> in its most recent earnings and continuing to operate at a loss. More recently, CEO Parag Agrawal abruptly fired<\/a> two senior executives, raising significant questions about the company\u2019s future. Combined with the market downturn, that has led some analysts to believe Musk might attempt to renegotiate for a lower price.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe guy knows what he\u2019s doing,\u201d one analyst said<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nTwitter\u2019s April 25th agreement with Musk<\/a> includes a $1 billion termination fee if either party backs out without sufficient cause, although there are complex conditions on when and how it can be triggered. Even if Musk does trigger the termination fee, it would be a fraction of the total cost of the deal and probably less than the savings offered by a lower price.<\/p>\n
Financial analysts were split on whether Musk\u2019s bot concerns had put the deal in jeopardy. \u201cThe Street will view this deal as 1) likely falling apart, 2) Musk negotiating for a lower deal price, or 3) Musk simply walking away from the deal with a $1 billion breakup fee,\u201d wrote Daniel Ives of Wedbush Securities, concluding that there were \u201cmany questions and no concrete answers as to the path of this deal going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Others, like Craig Huber of Huber Research Partners, took a less pessimistic view. \u201cOur take is Elon Musk is further doing his due diligence on Twitter regarding bots and fake accounts, as he should, and that ultimately he will go ahead with buying Twitter,\u201d Huber told The Verge<\/em>. \u201cThe guy knows what he is doing as he has shown time and time again.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
