OK, Elon, lets settle. Let's give you a board seat but you have to promise not to try and buy up controlling shares in the company and privatize it in a hostile takeover.


So, they really think he could improve the value of their shares?


I really don't understand how you pull that from my comment. They are trying to avert a hostile takeover. Elon may not even be interested in making twitter more profitable. It may just be a pet project for him to take over the company and shutter it out of spite or use it to further some other goals. They gave him a board seat to try to get him to back off.
