No Background Check: Elon Musk ‘Has Decided Not’ to Join Twitter’s Board of Directors

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has reportedly decided not to join Twitter’s board of directors after becoming the company’s largest shareholder. An odd statement released by the company’s free speech-hating CEO Parag Agrawal says that the board seat was “contingent on a background check.”

In a statement on Sunday night, Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal said Elon Musk made the decision to rescind the company’s invite for him to join the board.

“Elon Musk has decided not to join our board,” said Agrawal while posting a message he had shared with the company.

According to Agrawal, Twitter’s board and Musk had “many discussions” about his future in the company before ultimately deciding against the board seat.
