    Solution

    Twitter has thrown a roadblock in front of Elon Musk’s hostile takeover bid of $43 billion, adopting a “limited-duration shareholder rights plan”, also known as a “poison pill”, that would make it much more expensive and complicated for the Tesla CEO to take control of the social media network.
