Topic: Hostile Takeover

Twitter's board of directors implemented a poison pill defense to block Elon Musk's $43 billion hostile takeover bid. The strategy allows existing shareholders to purchase discounted stock if any entity acquires more than 15% of the company. Speculation continues regarding Musk's "Plan B" and the potential for the stock price to drop following the blockade.

Elon Musk launched a hostile takeover bid for Twitter after declining a seat on the company's board.
