It has been reported that Disney (DIS -1.31%)  are looking at the potential benefits of combining the two companies, but the process is far from confirmed or definite. It has been suggested that Twitter could fetch up to $30 billion, news that has helped push Twitter’s share price (TWTR 3.09%)  up 21% in mid-day trading last week.

The Walt Disney Company would be expected to develop Twitter’s streaming-video strategy, in an attempt to rival Facebook and Snap who recently launched their Snap Video recording Spectacles.
