Microsoft tried to acquire Pinterest, report says

Microsoft has held talks with Pinterest for the acquisition of the image-sharing social network late last year, the Financial Times reported. However, the talks are currently stalled. Pinterest is currently valued at $51 billion. Had the deal been struck, it would have been Microsoft’s biggest-ever acquisition. The software giant bought LinkedIn for $26.2 billion in 2016.
