The chances of a settlement between Twitter and Elon Musk are rising, legal experts and other observers say. One M&A expert sees Musk buying Twitter for $50 a share.

. Still, Twitter may want to avoid the even small possibility that it will not see an ideal outcome at the end of a trial.

Chester Spatt, a professor of finance at Carnegie Mellon University and previously a chief economist for the SEC, said it's plausible that Twitter might settle, but it would need to be for a significant amount of money. Right now, the $54.20 per share price that Musk has agreed to pay represents a good deal for shareholders. Even though the company's stock has ticked up since July, it's currently trading around $43, or 20% less than Musk's offer.
