Ives noted this price is likely seen as a \"more appropriate level\" by many shareholders.Last week, Muskbid$54.20 per share in cash for Twitter (TWTR), just days after announcing he would not join its board of directors.The third and most unlikely option, at least in Ives' eyes, is for Musk to sell his stock and walk away.Musk seemed to suggest this is an unlikely option, as over the weekend, he tweeted, \"Love me Tender,\" a lyric to an Elvis Presley song, but may also mean he is considering a tender offer to Twitter (TWTR) shareholders.It's also possible that another option emerges, Ives pointed out, such as a second bidder for the company, perhaps from private equity. On Friday, it was reported that private equity firm Thoma Bravo was looking at buying Twitter (TWTR). Ives mentioned it's unlikely that Twitter would be bought by private equity, due to its business model and low free cash flow.\"In a nutshell, this week is very important for all the parties involved in this Twitter soap opera with time to get out the popcorn,\" Ives wrote.Investment firm MKM Partners recently said that online advertising would start to feel the weight of macro economic concerns this year, which may impact a number of companies, including Twitter (TWTR).","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9088252893,"gmtCreate":1650354171238,"gmtModify":1676534703627,"author":{"id":"3575600097683118","authorId":"3575600097683118","name":"Wenxi","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dfe7062f3c4b919a90cb74a35f70c638","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3575600097683118","authorIdStr":"3575600097683118"},"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9088252893","repostId":1140807313,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9081773388,"gmtCreate":1650285910682,"gmtModify":1676534686524,"author":{"id":"3573877891823690","authorId":"3573877891823690","name":"waiwaiho","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b112a07bf435c07a2caef2264c1f3d2b","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3573877891823690","authorIdStr":"3573877891823690"},"htmlText":"Pls
