Resolves YES if a deal for Elon Musk to buy Twitter closes on Friday October 28 between 3pm and midnight EDT.

Is this deal going to close on Thursday? Oh no, no no no. He’s got until 5 p.m. on Friday. A plausible time to close would be 4:45 on Friday, possibly 4:20. Really 5:30 is not entirely off the table; if they are all doing good amicable closing stuff at 4:59 Twitter is not going to go running to the judge to complain about it being a few minutes late. [The real deadline is probably when Fedwire closes, which is basically 6 p.m. You need to be able to send the money!]

The time will be determined as the time of the first official announcement by Twitter or a reliable media publication (e.g. Reuters, Bloomberg, etc). (If any such announcements are later found to be in error, then they will not count.)
