Why It’s Important: The Board of Directors serves the company’s best interests and helps lead the company’s direction. It was pointed out by Unusual Whales on Twitter that the Board of Directors collectively owns 2.37% of Twitter, including a 2.2% stake by Dorsey.

Musk owns 9.1% of the company and has offered to buy Twitter for $54.20 per share. While the Board hasn’t flat out rejected the offer, they did enact a poison pill, which was seen as an act of retaliation against Musk to make sure he doesn’t perform a hostile takeover.

Dorsey spoke out publicly about the Twitter Board of Directors being the dysfunction of the company.
