HPE got tangled up in MAGA conspiracy theories and now its $14 billion merger with Juniper could be thrown out
Briefly

HPE's $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks encounters new challenges despite U.S. Department of Justice approval. Controversy arises from a reversal of the DOJ's prior opposition, prompting speculation and an objection letter from Senator Elizabeth Warren. A federal judge may conduct a "Tunney review" to assess the merger's public interest, potentially disregarding the DOJ's stance. HPE's stock has declined, compounded by pressure from activist investor Elliott Management, which holds a $1.5 billion stake in the company and seeks board seats, believing execution issues are impacting stock performance.
