Straight from Benzinga newsdesk, hosts Brent Slava and Steve Krause bring you the market news and stocks to watch.

Steve and Brent focus on:

• TWTR - Board meeting starts at 10am to discuss offer!
• CFRA: Musk's offer "should be viewed as enticing to shareholders (near our $55 target) and will be difficult to reject. If rejected, we fear Musk could walk away .. which would likely drive shares considerably lower
• Wedbush "Now ultimately we believe this soap opera will end with Musk owning Twitter after this aggressive hostile takeover of the company"
• Head Of Investment At UK-Based Interactive Investor, Victoria Scholar, Says Market Is Pricing In Higher Likelihood Twitter Rejects Deal From Elon Musk
• Lightshed's Rich Greenfield "Part of this is, is he even serious, like is this a game? Is he simply having fun and sort of just making a point about free speech and sort of trying to hold management's feet to the fire? Or does he actually want to own and control Twitter and run it?" More importantly, does Musk even know what he wants? Greenfield noted that based on Musk's recent activity on Twitter, his actual intentions are rather unclear. Recent activity includes a poll suggesting the company's headquarters be converted to a homeless shelter, an ask about whether or not Twitter is "dying," and a proposal to remove the "w" from "Twitter."
• LI - other Chinese ev: NIO XPEV
• SFET - other cyber names CYRN DTST IRNT CISO KD S
• NNVC - BCRX is the classic bird/swine flu play
