In a different tweet, Musk indicated that he would minimize all board member salaries to zero if his provide is recognized. Investor Gary Black experienced recommended that Twitter board members could be opposing Musk’s bid because they stood to drop a payday.
Musk owns close to 9% of Twitter shares, when Dorsey owns just around 2.2%, in accordance to FactSet knowledge cited by CNBC.
It is unclear how Musk will move forward if Twitter rejects his provide, even though he stated final week that he has a “plan B” in head – which may possibly include a tender give immediately to shareholders.
