Elon Musk declines to join Twitter board of directors

[shockedcanadian]

So in other words nothing will change, free speech won't be defended nor will shadowbanning cease.

He will probably pick up more shares beyond the 14% limited when on the Board, but really, twitter won't improve outside of maybe some changes to revenue stream and blue check mark options. Notice the quick drop in price as soon as he announced it? He will be a wealthy shareholder twitter Town Crier, meh, big deal.

That's how I see it anyways, unless he goes for a 50% stake and REALLY changes twitter and helps Americas reputation as a strong defender of liberty.

As I have heard some explain it this could actually gives him more influence as he wouldn’t be limited by what he could do as a board member. The threat of him buying more stock or even pulling off a takeover of Twitter could have more impact than him being on the board.

yep.

however he's also openly questioning the death of Twitter.

top 10 accounts have not posted much at all this year.

That's millions upon millions of "ads" that are not being inserted in billions of idiotic retweets and replies.

where's the revenue again? where's the VALUE of advertising there again?

Good to hear.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Good to hear.

Not if you're a liberal.
He can acquire more stocks now and become the controlling stockholder.

 

[AMart]

He has now offered to buy all of twitter,

Pretty dumb to invest first and THEN threaten. Shouldn’t you do the threatening BEFORE you invest?

Sabre rattling is nowhere near as effective as actually doing something.

What good would it do if Musk was on the board?

If you put one libertarian in a room full of Stalinists, would that change anything?

I'm hoping he is aiming for a hostile takeover, myself.

I think the initial buy was to gauge reaction.
