Several Twitter users asked Jack whether could he openly reveal the happenings of Twitter’s takeover, to which he responded, “of course, I cannot!”. Jack also agreed with Gary Tan a venture capitalist, that a dysfunctional board can ruin the value of a billion-dollar project to zero.

Musk mocked Jack for leaving Twitter, stating, “With Jack gone, the board overall doesn’t own any shares, and evidently, their business interests are not aligned with the shareholders either”

In the latest filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, last week Elon Musk stated, “I am offering to take over Twitter for $54.20 for each share in cash, it adds up to $43 billion and this is my best upfront offer. Take it or leave it. If you take it well good for you, If not I will have to reassess my level as a shareholder. I see a lot of potential in Twitter and I look forward to take it to next level.” However, the board moved their shareholders’ rights plan to strong-arm Musk’s offer.
