> The risk portfolio of Vanguard just went up considerably because in the case that they fully lose faith in the board, they no longer have the option of installing a friendly board, they must simply liquidate their holdings. This, in turn, makes them more skeptical of further smaller (non-takeover) investment because it’s more to liquidate and more risk.

It sounds like your interpretation Vanguard's risk profile / likelihood and their interpretation differ. And given that I trust Vanguard's assessment.

Frankly, if I were an institutional investor, I'd probably prefer the poison pill than have Twitter become a toy subject to Elon Musk's random political fight.

Wasn't he all in on Doge coin, except he wasn't, and all in on bitcoin but then not fully, then some other random alt coin, oh and then he's back in on Doge again and how to improve it.

It sounds like sound fiduciary duty to not let your company be subject to those whims.
