Subtract Elon Musk from the story. Would Twitter becoming a private company any other way be a front-page worthy story?

At $54.2 billion, it's even newsworthy just through the sheer size of the transaction. I'm not sure, but might it be the highest valued company to ever go from public to private?

Sure, it’s news, but more business news than tech news. Twitter isn’t doing any groundbreaking tech work. Worth noting but hardly front page or needing dozens of dup posts just because it has to do with Musk.
