Även Salesforce drar sig ur köp av Twitter
Molntjänstföretaget Saleforce blev den mest troliga köparen av Twitter när Google och Disney drog sig ur budprocessen. Men nu ger även Salesforce:s vd Marc Benioff beskedet att ett köp av socialamedierplattformen ”av många skäl inte är rätt för oss på bolaget” och drar sig ur, enligt Financial Times. För Twitters del innebär det i princip slutet för företagets jakt på en köpare, enligt tidningen.
