Elon Musk's deal to take Twitter private could fall apart. Here's how and why. PLUS: What happens to your Twitter shares if the deal closes? Can you still trade Twitter shares? On Monday, April 25th the headlines declared that Elon Musk had acquired Twitter for $44 billion. Which would lead one to believe the deal is done. It is not.
