In a major reversal, business tycoon Elon Musk has decided not to join the board of directors of Twitter, the company's CEO announced Sunday night.
Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal posted a note on the social media platform explaining what he says was Musk's decision to decline the board invite. Musk, 50, had recently purchased a 9.2% stake in the company. Since the April 4 stock purchase, in which the Tesla and SpaceX CEO became the largest Twitter shareholder, Musk had promised "significant improvements" to the company and expressed excitement at joining the board.
