In a sobering turn of events, Elon Musk prepares to eat his own words. He had better hope they act as a corpse reviver.
Just days before his scheduled trial and after months of painful dispute, Mr. Musk agreed in a filing Monday to buy Twitter—which he once suggested was a dying platform—for his original offer price of $54.20 a share. Twitter’s stock soared 22% by Tuesday’s close—after averaging a 24% discount to the offer price since the deal was first announced on April 25.
