Musk decided not to join Twitter's board

Musk, a "well-known Internet celebrity", is alive on social networks again: this time it is a big pigeon for twitter CEO.

On April 11, Twitter CEO tweeted: "Elon Musk has decided not to join our board. As soon as the news came out, it immediately triggered a heated discussion. You must know that Musk was the man who claimed to push for Twitter reform a few days ago.

As the top KOL with 80 million followers on Twitter, Musk has repeatedly revealed his intention to improve the status quo of Twitter. On April 4, however, Musk did buy a 9.2 percent stake in Twitter and became its largest outside shareholder. The CEO of Twitter then said that he would appoint Musk as a director, and Musk responded: "We will work with the board to work on Twitter's significant progress in the coming months." ”

No one expected the pigeons to come so quickly. On April 9, the time the appointment took effect, Musk announced that he would not enter the board. It is worth mentioning that Musk also tweeted on the same day to propose a series of reforms to Twitter Blue's premium subscription service, including a sharp price cut, ban advertising and other options.

But it has also been pointed out that Musk's true purpose may have been achieved.

It is understood that in the acquisition of Twitter shares, Musk spent $2.89 billion to acquire 73.4869 million shares of common stock, but with these waves of speculation, the value of these stocks has risen to $3.38 billion, and in just one month, Musk has made a profit of nearly 20% in this transaction.

The wealth password of the social platform is really played by Musk.
