"Elon Musk has finally completed his US$44 billion deal to acquire Twitter and
take it private.
The world’s richest man has already begun putting his imprint on the social
network by firing four of its top executives.
While most people are likely familiar with the idea of taking a private company
public – the process that allows individuals to buy and sell a company’s shares
in the stock market – the reverse process is not as well understood and happens
far less often.
As a business and law professor, I have been analyzing mergers, privatizations
and other corporate deals for over two decades. The most common question I have
been getting from students and faculty colleagues is why would Musk want to
take Twitter private? Or more simply, what does it mean to go private?
The answers to these question help address a more interesting one: Will he
succeed?"
