Not really, at least not within a reasonable amount of time to close the deal. Lots of Levine about how Musk couldn't really force the deal with a tender offer, right?

But, I mean, the board did the right thing; their obligation is to the shareholders, and the price Musk offered was absurdly high.

Once the vote happened I’m not sure the board could have stopped the deal without being sued forever. Rightly so, because it was such a high offer.
