More likely than not that the offer will not go through as the board will block it in light that it is considered a hostile takeover move amidst other reasons and it's determined by the board instead of retail shareholders (those retail shareholders who bought at higher prices may also be resistant anyway as they would ideally want to cover their costs) - however it is to be expected that share price will be impacted (at least for a short period of time) when Musk disposes of his substantial 9% holdings back to the market. 

Will Musk's bid to buy Twitter succeed?
Elon Musk offers to buy Twitter for $54.2/share in cash... Will he take over it eventually? What are your thoughts?

    If I were on the board, I would agree to his takeover plan.

    It looks like Twitter will also fluctuate wildly.

    Would also add that board members are unlikely to "kill the golden goose" for "just some golden eggs" by selling twitter thereby forgo their twitter jobs forever-losing out on annual, recurring income

      Considerable sum of $250k-$300k: would you, for a one-time payout (golden eggs, not even all-time high share price to begin with though looks good in current mkt condition), forgo a whole golden goose

      Anyway Elon is unpredictable - he may just be making a point/ "expose" for all we know (for one, twitter board has less than 2.5% shareholding - their interests are not aligned with shareholders')
