This. Musk basically sat down with the board. He had a whole bunch of tweets where he was talking smack about twitter. Then he met with the board, and the board said "you can't say that". The board wanted to control him.
So he didn't join the board. Who tells Elon Musk no? Certainly none of the people on the board at Twitter.
Musk is clearly no fool. He knew the board's actions would be to control him, so I wonder why he would even entertain joining the board of directors? To get a closer look at what is going down there?
He might do that, if he hated money.
When you get to that level, it isn't about money, it's about control.

Didn't one of the big 2 (Vanguard I believe) push up to 10.5% ownership or so, making them the largest single investing entity?
Yep it's a game of one-ups-man-ship now.
To get them freaked out, force the Blackrock purchase and ferret out more of rhe cabal.
He has 'fuck you, him, and everyone else' money, if he wanted to crush Twitter on a whim, he could.
He sorta does since his primary residence is an ~50k USD small home. Musk is all about the future of Humanity and free society.
