Five days after Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal welcomed Musk to join the company board, Musk turned down the offer. Here is what may have transpired between the social media company and Musk.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s short-lived association with Twitter has got the internet talking. Five days after Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal welcomed Musk to join the company board, Musk turned down the offer. Agrawal noted in a long Twitter post that Musk would remain one of Twitter’s biggest shareholders and the company would also be open to his input. It, however, is unclear what drove Musk to turn down the offer of becoming a Twitter board member. Interestingly, Musk was also named as Twitter’s board member on its investor relations website. Agrawal had also announced a question and answer session of the employees with Elon Musk as soon as the news of his joining the Twitter board broke out. The QnA session was canceled after Musk denied seat at the board of the social media company. It was being said that Musk’s appointment had a “chilling effect” on the employees. However, that would not have been the reason behind Musk refusing to join the Twitter board. In a rather surprising move, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal welcomed Elon Musk as a board member.
