Musk made a $41.4 billion cash offer to buy Twitter last week and the social media giant responded by putting in place a defensive strategy known as a “poison pill” that could make it harder for the billionaire to do so.

Musk currently acquired a 9.2% stake in Twitter last month and later declined to join the company’s board.

The Wall Street Journal also reported that Appollo is also considering a “cooperation” between Yahoo, which it owns, and Twitter.
