Unless he does a hostile takeover.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.htmlHad he taken a board seat, the SpaceX CEO would have been limited in how much of the company's shares he could own, with a 14.9 percent cap.
Musk could now remain a passive investor or plan a hostile takeover of the company.
Hope so.... Twitter as it is , is a dirty echo chamber narrative control censorship crazy virtue signalling shit hole, absolute dirt.
Maybe Musk didn't like the conditions of taking a seat on the board. The Chief Executive said he would have "to act in the best interests of the company and all our shareholders". Best interests is an umbrella term that could mean anything the company wants it to.

Perhaps perhaps....who knows what the man thinks.
All I know, is that the PTB at Twitter have wielded Twitter as a weapon .....and they stick their noses into things that have zero to do with them.... issues of politics and issues of societal issues, their sense of self importance is fucking gross, who the fucking hell do they think they are? I have no interest in what a moderator, or a board member thinks, or what they want me to think, or what they want you to think, none... I have more interest in what a local homeless would have to say about it all rather than the twitter gestapo. They are just a chat board, keep the tweets coming, and stay the fuck out of it, they ain't nothing but a service provider and I could not care less about their political leanings, or which narratives they choose to amplify and which they choose to crush. Not to mention who they decide to cancel .... whilst leaving absolute scum to continue to tweet their drivel. Like stay the fuck out of it, and leave it a level playing field and let people decide what they follow, like, engage with or.... not. I have no more interest in their political leanings any more than I do the water company that supplies my water. Fucking ferrets. Same goes for Facebook and all the rest, they have all gotten far far far too big for their boots.
They are desperate not be classified as "publishers" with editorial control, for obvious reasons..... well they cannot have their cake and eat it......
