There are very few companies that would want to buy Twitter and can afford it. And because of heightened antitrust scrutiny, none of them have any interest in trying when there's a very low chance of clearing such a merger with all the regulators in USA + EU + UK. (The last one even blocked Facebook's acquisition of Giphy. They'd have a field day with Twitter.)

So there probably won't be a competing offer.
