> It also depends on what the Twitter board and shareholders want. Will they want to get bought out and owned by someone who clearly doesn't want to own the company, and may run it into the ground out of spite?

Uh, yes?

The shareholders, and the board as their agents, care about the company as a means to an end: and that end is making money. They’ve already concluded the sale achieves that goal.

If Musk wants to burn the company to the ground after they cash out, they don't care.

Heck, some of them may invest in competitors after the sale banking on that to make even more money.
