Twitter is working to hammer out terms of a transaction and could reach an agreement with Elon Musk as soon as today if negotiations go smoothly, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

What exactly are they negotiating? Other than money what can Musk offer the existing board? Governance terms for private Twitter?

I saw articles saying they’re negotiating a fee if the deal falls through, but if Musk only has to pay if he backs out, and he’s sincerely interested in buying, why would that be an issue?

Just because he doesn't plan on backing out doesn't mean it is wise to agree to give his first-born if the deal falls through. You with these contracts very carefully, in case of unforseen events.

What happens if all of the sudden those who are funding him pull out?

Why does blocking someone hinder free speech?

I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.
