The latest Activist Investing Today podcast interviewed Shareholder Commons’ Rick Alexander about why he thinks Twitter shareholders should demand that the social media giant set up an independent oversight trust as they evaluate Elon Musk's $44 billion acquisition. Alexander tells AIT he doesn't expect regulators or shareholders will stop the deal from happening, but he thinks investors shouldn't accept a traditional deal closing because of what he calls the implications of the transaction on "the public square."
