Every time the drama escalates, it increases the probability of a downward spike. Elon can easily keep everyone guessing, because they were so reactive. His options are endless if he wants to press the issue. Imagine he did the same thing to Facebook and, meanwhile, ignored Twitter for a spell. They'd really start to go nuts. Twitter has to put the deal to a vote, legally, so we shall see if they follow the law. It's a weird situation because there is a multibillion dollar shill machine that operates out of Twitter and spreads into all other media. Controlling Twitter is a way to stifle a massive astroturfing effort for pennies on the dollar.
