Never believe rumours about acquisitions of public companies, especially ones in the billion dollar region, unless it comes from an extremely reputable business publication such as Bloomberg and only then it is usually leaked a day or so before the announcement because the moment an offer is made it has to be legally announced. Twitter randoms don't know shit, it would imply they have sources at the very top of the company, they'll keep throwing out the same old acquisition rumours in the hope that it actually happens one day and then claim they were right.

Yeah usually when things leak you see the story say due to a source that spoke anonymously since they can't speak about it.  But there is no anonymous voice in a billion dollar deal of a publicly traded company, if a person were to leak that before the companies they would be go to jail for insider trading and sued for breaking their nda.
