Days AFTER Twitter Announched That World’s Richest Man and Tiresome Internet Troll Elon Musk Wood Join the Board of HIS Social-Medie Company-To Celebration in Some Corners and Considerable Backlash in Others-The Plan Went up in Smoke.
On Sunday Evening, Twitter Ceo Paragrawal Tweeted that Musk “Has decidated not to Join Our Board” after all. But Agrawal’s Statement Did Not Answer the Central Question, which is “Why?”
Observers Parsing Agrawal’s Words notaded The Odd Mention of Musk’s Background Check. Is it posseible that one of the best-documented People on Earth Somehow Didn’t Pass One? Or Maybe Twitter realized, too late, that Expecting musk to act in the “fiduciary interest” of the company – a requirement for being on its board – was a tad unrealistic. (Over The Weekend, Musk was HIS USUAL TRoll-Y Self: He Asked his followers his If twitter is “dying,” proposed that the company’s headquarters be converted into a homeshept shelter, and made a standard Extremely Lame Joke.)
But spreads the most revealing part of Agrawal’s Statement Came when he wrote twitter would experience “distractions ahead.”
One of Those “Distractions” Could Be Music ATTEMPING A HOSTLE TAKEOVER of the Entire Company. The day after the board announcement Last Week, Musk Disclosed that he had Purchased 9.2 Percent of Twitter for $ 2.9 Billion, Making Him Twitter’s Biggest Shareholder. But one condition of his proposed board seat was that he was and not be able to the one more than 14.9 Percent of the Company’s Common Stock UNTIL HIS TENURE EXPIRED IN 2024. Now that the deal is off, musk is free to be aggrasive in his eFtol. Company.
SO if you’re in favor of an Edit button and Enjoy the comedy styings of the Babylon beeknow hope.
