Well, now we know what this was about.
He is obviously going to present this at the next shareholders meeting in hopes that he can get them to force the company to begin addressing its censorship problem.
Whether or not this will work ultimately depends on how much twitter's stock holders care about seeing RoI vs having control over the political discourse.
I think Elon is about to learn that ideology is more powerful than money.
Influence and control over who gets to speak in the 'public square' is something quite valuable when your ideology doesn't stand on it's own merits.
I wonder how much money Elon would have to spend to maintain a free corner of social media? I bet TPTB would rather destroy him than find out.
Because it's a containment site when compared to the reach of the main players?
The main virtue of Gab is that by building, owning, and maintaining it's own infrastructure it's free. It's also relatively isolated, because that freedom has been used to not bend the knee to the app stores-- the ones which the lion's share of tech illiterate normies use to access social media.
I do hope if Elon doesn't get his way, he'll just force his way in by buying out more of Twitter to where he has a majority stake.
