“I sent a message to Twitter, because a major share acquisition warns management because it could lead to a further share acquisition very quickly,” Iz said.
“The actual investment in Musk’s assets is very small, and a full-scale acquisition cannot be ruled out,” said Angelo Gino, an analyst at CFRA Research.
