More private equity firms are expressing interest in getting involved in a deal with Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) Inc, writes Reuters.

This increased interest comes after Thoma Bravo, a private equity firm specializing in technology, contacted social media platform Twitter last week to explore its purchase, which challenges Ilon Musk’s $43 billion offer.

Specifically, Apollo Global Management Inc is looking at ways to finance the deal and is even willing to work with Musk or any other bidder. However, Apollo’s participation would be through a lending investment platform rather than a private equity business.
