Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) received a round of applause after he suggested Florida will take steps to respond to Twitter’s board adopting a “poison pill” to make it harder for Tesla CEO Elon Musk to buy the company.
During an event on Tuesday, DeSantis said, “The state of Florida, in our pension system, we have shares of Twitter.”
“I didn’t buy it, we have people who run the fund, but nevertheless, it hasn’t exactly been great on returns on investment. It’s been pretty stagnant for many, many years,” he continued.
Finally, he said, “To me, I think that’s probably an injury to the fund. So we’re gonna be looking at ways that the state of Florida potentially can be holding these Twitter board of directors accountable for breaching their fiduciary duty.”
The crowd broke out in applause.
“So stay tuned on that,” DeSantis added.
