TWTR poison pill "defence"

Long
NYSE:TWTR   TWITTER INC
If you haven`t sold TWTR here:

then what you should know:
After buying 9.2% of TWTR shares, Elon Musk wanted to buy Twitter (TWTR) for $43.4bn, $54.20 per share representing a 38% premium to the closing price on 1 April and take the company private.

Elon Musk about Twitter: “potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy.”

“However, since making my investment I now realise the company will neither thrive nor serve this societal imperative in its current form. Twitter needs to be transformed as a private company.

"My offer is my best and final offer and if it is not accepted, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder. Twitter has extraordinary potential. I will unlock it.”

TWTR is up only 8% after 8 years of being listed.
I don`t think Jack Dorsey has found the path to profitability, nor that the board works in the interest of the shareholders.
That`s why they went for the poison pill "defence".
I say "defence" as a joke, since the only one defended here are the board members and not the shareholders, which haven`t gained too much from holding the bag anyways.
The poison pill allows investors to buy additional shares of the company’s stock at a discount and therefore dilute the value of each individual share.
That is a viable strategy against an unwanted hostile takeover.

In my opinion, the board members will accept Elon`s proposal and buying the stock now will give you a 17% return.
