There is much market speculation at the moment about Twitter potentially being acquired, with prospective buyers including Alphabet and Salesforce . Both of these companies likely have different motivations for acquiring Twitter: Alphabet could benefit from Twitter’s established social media presence (although its growth has slowed) and live video streaming potential, while Salesforce could use the social/news platform’s large amounts of data generated by its 313 million users for accelerating the former’s artificial intelligence-led future growth strategy.
