The Twitter board adopted a “poison pill” strategy in response to Musk’s 100% takeover bid of the company.
“Board salary will be $0 if my bid succeeds, so that’s ~$3M/year saved right there,” Musk had tweeted in response to a user’s post criticising the board.
A self-described “free speech absolutist”, Musk has been critical of Twitter’s policies.
Now, on Sunday, he posted a cryptic tweet that read “Moving on …”
