MAGA Twitter’s hope of Elon Musk being Donald Trump’s savior has been put on ice.
In a stunning and swift reversal, Twitter’s largest shareholder Elon Musk aka Bootleg Tony Stark, will not be joining Twitter’s board of directors, CEO Parag Agrawal announced in a tweet Sunday evening (Apr.10).
“Elon has joined not to join our board,” Agrawal wrote in a memo he had sent to the company staff. Musk’s joining the board was “contingent on a background check and formal acceptance.”
“Elon’s appointment to the board was to become officially effective 4/9, but Elon shared that same morning that he will no longer be joining the board,” Agrawal continued. “I believe this is for the best.”

The decision has spawned tons of reactions from those against his naming to the board and MAGA land, who saw this as some sort of victory for “free speech.” Those against the idea who didn’t care for the Telsa electric car peddler influencing their favorite social media medium’s direction saw this as a huge victory and breathed a sigh of relief while sipping on MAGA tears.
Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone except those chumps who were hoping for Elon Musk to bring trump back to Twitter, lol it ain't happening.
Take your asses to Truth Social.

Of course, like always, MAGA land found a way to flip this seemingly “bad news” into another bat shit conspiracy theory. Now they are claiming Musk is not joining Twitter’s board opens the door for him to purchase Twitter or gain more control in the company by buying more shares. We wished we were joking, but this is indeed a thing.
Now that he’s not going to be on the board — which means he isn’t bound by any share restriction agreement — I hope @elonmusk keeps buying shares to put even more pressure on @twitter.

Musk, who notoriously gets his rocks off when anything he does affects the stock market, more than likely enjoyed seeing Twitter shares “tumble more than 8% to less than $43 a share at 4 a.m. ET before recovering slightly,” CNBC reports.
Who knows what mad scheme Elon Musk is working on with this, but one thing is undoubtedly clear, Trump is not coming back. HA.

1. These people are nuts
Elon Musk is not the only conservative billionaire. Why are the other ones not stepping up to help like he is?

2. LOL, what?
People like Elon Musk want more free speech online.
Democrats like President Obama want more censorship.
What side are you on?

4. GOOD
Elon Musk decided not to join the Twitter board. That destroys any chance of Trump reactivating his account. Thank God.

5. Straight insanity
Dear MAGAidiots & Qrackheads,
JKF Jr is not alive and he’s not coming to “save” anything.
Jewish space lasers aren’t real.
Your rotting gourd god is not going to be reinstated as “president”.
And Elon Musk is not bringing him back to Twitter.
So get a grip, you f’ng loonies.

I really wish Elon Musk took the 3 billion dollars that he used to purchase Twitter stock, and committed it to rebuilding Ukraine after this war is over.

I’m bored with Elon Musk.
I’m bored with Jeff Bezos.
I’m bored with Mark Zuckerberg.I’m bored hearing nonstop about a few lucky billionaires, who invented nothing, freed no one, and saved no lives, being treated as superhuman celebrities. They’re just rich dudes. Yawn.

NEWS: Elon Musk will NOT be joining the Twitter board, now who will mop up all of the MAGA tears?

9. It’s not happening
Elon Musk is one of the few people on the planet that could BUY TWITTER!
By not joining the Board, Musk will be unconstrained is his ability to buy more shares, which would be contractually restrained if he had joined the board. #HostileTakeover pic.twitter.com/h8sqSz5coi
