Twitter suitors vanish as Salesforce rules out bid
The boss of Salesforce has ruled out his company as a bidder for Twitter, all but bringing an end to attempts to find a buyer for the struggling internet company.
The US cloud software company had been left as the most likely bidder last week, after other potential acquirers, including Google and Walt Disney, decided not to pursue a deal.
“In this case we’ve walked away. It wasn’t the right fit for us,” Marc Benioff, chief executive of Salesforce, said in an interview with the FT.
