Twitter (TWTR) – Twitter is down 1.5% in pre-market trading, likely to break a three-day winning streak that sent it up nearly 32%. Elon Musk – now Twitter’s largest shareholder – has changed the type of SEC deposit regarding his stake purchase to show it was not “passive”.

Spirit Airlines (Waffer) – Spirit said its board will consider a new $3.6 billion cash takeover offer Jet Blue (JBLU).
