Yes. I think the anti-trust case is weaker if Twitter is wholly owned subsidiary of Alphabet, instead of Google.

On a broader scale I think Google is gearing up to aquire its way out of areas of stunted growth for the company. A number of businesses haven't taken off:

Twitter :: Google Real-Time Box :: Google Drive At Enterprise Level 8x8 :: Google Voice

(I own none of these stocks)
