Totally possible, but the original question was "Is there a NON-culture/political reason for all the push back" and "Twitter stock price was higher than Musk’s offer for most of 2021" is definitely a non-cultural/political reason to push back on the offer. Again, you might be right that Twitter's price was over-inflated in 2021, but "it was worth more" is certainly a non-cultural/political reason to push back on the offer - even if they're wrong about Twitter's long-term value.
