In its Darkest Days, Twitter (TWTR) Gets Some Emotional Support from Key Silicon Valley Exec

Twitter (NASDAQ: TWTR) stock has been brutalized over the past few days as potential suitors for the company continue to bow out and a sale looks 'dead in the water'. However, today the company's service received some much-needed emotional support from a notable tech executive.

LinkedIn's (NYSE: LNKD) CEO, Jeff Weiner, which is in a pending takeover with Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), said the past few days (Trump video, debate, etc.) shows how crucial Twitter service is as a digital town hall.

Twitter has its challenges, but last 3 days remind how essential it is; digital town hall that changed how news is distributed & discussed

— Jeff Weiner (@jeffweiner) October 10, 2016

Weiner's comments have sparked some very vague chatter that LinkedIn suitor Microsoft could come in as a dark horse bidder for Twitter.
