That’s been it though. If the board of Twitter isn’t concerned about what is best for the share folders, a direct violation of their fiduciary responsibility, then what is their interest?

If Twitter isn’t a business to make money to them, what is it, and who is it for?

A parameter in assessing the relative value of the offer to shareholders is the time horizon.

Perhaps the board believes the value of the shares over the next year or two is substantially higher than Musk's offer, such that they should reject the buyout so that shareholders can reap that gain.

And using past as prologue… how has been the performance of Twitter been?
