I assume that assessing things for acquisition is relatively standard practice within the house of mouse; but Twitter seems like an odd choice(potentially why they decided against it).
If you just want to use it to make noise for your own purposes you can do so without owning it at relatively low cost. A few social media flacks, maybe some advertising(or bot ‘consultant’) spend to push things up the ranks a little and hopefully ensure that you count as a VIP for any contact you need to have with Twitter.
The amount you gain, vs. the pit of suck you take on, by going from that level of engagement to actually owning the place seems profoundly unexciting.
