After Mark Zuckerberg's famous $3 billion offer for Snapchat in 2013, Facebook tried again three years later, The Wall Street Journal's Georgia Wells and Maureen Farrell report.
The big picture: CEO Evan Spiegel and other Snap executives reportedly dismissed informal overtures from Zuckerberg and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, who never specified prices. Snap's stock hit its all time low of $4.85 per share Friday, after going public last year at $17. Facebook, meanwhile, is closing out 2018 the way it started — "under attack for betraying users' trust and oversharing their personal information," Axios' Scott Rosenberg writes.
