Why not?
Without Musk, Biden would have to go beg Putin to send American astronauts to the ISS again. Like the Russians did for 10 years.
There is no other spacecraft on the planet outside of SpaceX and Russia that can deliver astronauts to the ISS.

Or he can dump his stock this week and make about $1 billion and walk away

Making another billion to Elon Musk is like a good day at the races for the rest of us.

I don't think making another measly billion is his motivation here. He's got something up his sleeve. Will be fun to see how it all plays out.

With as much as 25%, he likely won’t need proxy. However, he could just by 51% and that’s that.

Musk would have zero real voting power. He would have a vote, but against the rest. Why waste the time?

“Told him Twitter or access to the ISS....”

ISS is being shut down. He’s not interested in that. He is also building his own space station.

Interesting that Elon was buying since January. He is in it to win it.

“On April 5, Twitter named Musk to its board, and Musk agreed not to acquire more than 14.9% of the company while a director and for 90 days afterward.10 Though originally filing Schedule 13G as a passive investor, defined as a shareholder who does not intend to exert any control of the company, Musk refiled Schedule 13D later that day, indicating his status as an active investor.”

Or someone left a horse head in his bed.

Elon is wealthy and connected enough to hire professionals who could leave horse heads in the beds of those who left one in his.

Whatever he's up to, it's entertaining to say the least.

That or he’s bored with it already.

One does not become as rich as he is by becoming bored with a project that quickly.

He's not bored with it.

That is what he should do. Delegate the Twitter board membership to a trusted advisor/associate.

Teitter is in the oeall scheme of things basically nothingness

Its a dying company - likely the reason he decided not to assume all the responsibility. Easier to buy more or buy it all and make it into a profitable company again.

It seems to me that he entered into talks with them to see if he could create change by working with them, and this was clearly not going to happen. So, now he has to re-evaluate.
