Alright, then I suppose they’d buy up to 14.9% and then create additional long exposure thru swaps or synthetic longs using options.

Or they’d just hit up twitter’s board, enter an agreement with them, and continue buying shares as normal.

The poison pill just requires prior approval from the board, which they would happily grant in this kind of a case.
