Agrawal said: ‘‘Through conversations with Elon in recent weeks, it became clear to us that he would bring great value to our Board. He is both a passionate believer and intense critic of the service which is exactly what we need on Twitter, and in the boardroom , to make us stronger in the long term. Welcome Elon!’’

Shortly after Prime Business Africa reported news of Elon Musk becoming one of Twitter’s biggest shareholders, the electric carmaker tweeted: ‘‘Oh hi lol.’’

He later followed up on the tweet by posting a poll asking if users wanted an edit button.
