A poison pill essentially blocks anyone from acquiring more than a certain stake. The board doesn't own a lot of share now, do they use twitter a lot? That is a really telling sign that maybe they're not great feduciaries for other shareholders or their users when they don't use it and they don't own shares. And also, to lan's credit, the a really fair criticism is accountability should be linked to ownership,.
Kara and Scott discuss the Twitter board's “poison pill” approach to fend of Elon’s bid. Friend of Pivot William D. Cohan joins to discuss whether or not Elon has the cash. Also, Alex Jones’ Info Wars has declared bankruptcy, and Tucker Carlson’s new documentary trailer is raising eyebrows... and other things, too.
