It's also facing pressure from investors. The company is still operating at a loss despite going public in 2013. 

San Francisco software company Salesforce could have been Twitter's knight in shining armor. It was rumored to have been considering a bid for the social media company.

But the Salesforce CEO dashed those hopes Friday when he told Financial Times Twitter "wasn't the right fit."

Salesforce joins the ranks of Disney and Google. All three were rumored to have been considering a bid on the company — but they decided against it.
