It seems to me that Parag welcomed initially for Elon to be on the Board but then the tweetstorm Elon sent on Dying company, Twitter SF HQ, removing ads from their Subscription and accepting Doge for it, and the current Board/CEO may have thought that all this would be too much to handle so they may have pushed him out of the Board? Sounds like this tweet storm over the weekend may have contributed to this outcome.

When it's Elon, you got to wonder if he did the whole thing to embarrass them. They can't stand him, but for a brief while he made them pretend to welcome him.
Good thinking if they did. Letting him onto the board of Twitter would basically be like letting a cokehead run a drug cartel.
The CEO's job, much like a politician's, often involves giving out statements that are a series of Rorschach tests. That's what you do to appease and assuage multiple parties simultaneously.
He also says in the previous paragraph that they [had?] believed that having Musk on the board would "be the best path forward." It's sort of a Rorschach test. You could divine either opinion you wanted from the post.
