Elon Musk is ‘talking to private equity investors about a newly structured bid for Twitter’ after board adopted a ‘poison pill’

Elon Musk is reportedly talking with potential partners about joining him in a bid to wrestle control of Twitter, after the board poured cold water on his $43 billion offer and instead opted to take ‘a poison pill’.

Musk, 50, told the board on Wednesday he wanted to buy the social media company, in which he has a 9.1 percent share.

On Thursday, the CEO, Parag Agrawal, told staff that they were still weighing up Musk’s offer.
