board or parts of its management team the company’s product and services, potential mergers and governance issues, he said an amended regulatory filing Monday. The Tesla Inc. chief executive can express his views about Twitter on social media or speak directly with executives and board members, the filing states.
Musk last week disclosed a roughly 9% stake in Twitter, making him the company’s largest shareholder. His filing said he owns the stake for investment purposes and that he might acquire more shares or sell his current holdings in the company.

Monday’s filing states Musk doesn’t currently have any plans or intentions to change his holdings in the company, but it notes that he “reserves the right to change his plans at any time, as he deems appropriate, and in light of his ongoing evaluation of numerous factors.”
