Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives believes Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk will ultimately own Twitter (TWTR) “after this aggressive hostile takeover of the company.” It would be hard for any other bidders to emerge and the Twitter board “will be forced likely to accept this bid and/or run an active process to sell Twitter,” Ives tells investors in a research note. The analyst adds that while there will be a host of questions around financing, regulatory and balancing Musk’s time in the coming days, ultimately based on this filing “it is a now or never bid for Twitter to accept.” The next step will be Twitter’s board officially reviewing the Musk’s filing, says Ives, who expects “many twists and turns in the weeks ahead as Twitter and Musk walk down this marriage path.”
