Howard A. Fischer was quoted in an April 14, 2022 Reuters article discussing Elon Musk's recent $43 billion cash offer to purchase Twitter. "If he really wants to take Twitter private his past run-ins with regulators might not pose an obstacle – but it might make potential financing sources leery of providing the cash for the deal – unless he is willing to pledge a large portion of his Tesla holdings to collateralize the debt," said Mr. Fischer.
