- gitfan86 5y agoLike anyone is going to believe that. It is like getting an offer on your house and saying that you think it is a great offer, then on the way to sign the contract the buyer says they want to cancel and then you say "yes great, I wanted you to cancel at the last minute"

Anyway; I am not an expert, but being on the board of director of a company come with specific responsibilities, like an obligation not to trash talk the company in public forums. From an external point of view it looks like Elon might prefer the stick to the carrot in relation to changing how twitter works. Both Elon and the CEO know this but the board all but must offer a seat to the biggest shareholder. So the best thing happened for everyone, Elon was blessed with acceptance and the board did not gain a member prone to PR chaos.
