Twitter held talks with Clubhouse about a possible $4 billion takeover of the live audio networking platform, but talks on the deal eventually collapsed.

The issues discussed during the failed takeover talks have largely remained private, though $4 billion for the social network appears to be an exorbitant price to pay for the audio app, especially given Twitter’s proprietary product Spaces.
