The \u201cpoison pill\u201d also allows for shareholders to buy more stock at a cheaper price and potentially dilute Musk\u2019s ownership stake to prevent him from purchasing the entire company.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe state of Florida and our pension system, we have shares of Twitter. I didn\u2019t buy it, we have people that run the fund but, nevertheless, it hasn\u2019t exactly been great in returns on investment. It\u2019s been pretty stagnant for many, many years,\u201d the governor said. \u201cBut nevertheless, I think that\u2019s probably an injury to the fund, so we\u2019re going to be looking at ways that the state of Florida potentially can be holding these Twitter board of directors accountable for breaching their fiduciary duty.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk hinted his support for Republican Florida Gov.
