Heres Why Twitters Stock Is Surging Today
Twitter, the still popular but financially challenged microblogging service, could be acquired. But questions abound over whether and how that could actually happen. Noted venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and private equity investor Silver Lake have considered acquiring at least part of Twitter, tech news site The Information has reported, citing unidentified sources. The news outlet admitted that it's unsure whether "anything is active" and that the sources are unclear if the investors and Twitter are even holding discussions. However, Fortune has since learned that Silver Lake has no interest in acquiring even a slice of Twitter, according to a source familiar with the matter.
