VANCOUVER, BC, April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A series of unpredictable moves by Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk has led to speculation that the world's richest recorded person has opened the door to a hostile takeover of social media monolith Twitter Inc. (NYSE:TWTR). Beyond the potential for Musk to take decisive action, there are multiple other takeover bids and offers in place that represent premium prices for shareholders. These and other deals are driving overall M&A activity in the market back up, after a recent drop to pre-pandemic levels. Among these are a sizeable bid for energy tech developers Petroteq Energy, Inc. (OTCPK:PQEFF) by Viston United Swiss AG, a takeover offer by the billionaire Benetton family with Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:BX) of Italian infrastructure giant Atlantia SpA, and the $6.9-billion takeover of cyber security group SailPoint Technologies Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:SAIL) by Thoma Bravo.

Key Points:

These and other deals are driving overall M&A activity in the market back up, after a recent drop to pre-pandemic levels .
From the top down, it appears that Viston's offer has been favorably received by the entire Petroteq team.
