That fits.

First they were pissed he wanted to buy Twitter and did everything they could to stop it, including taking the poison pill.

Then they were pissed he didn't want to buy Twitter and tried forcing him to buy it.

Now both sides are aligned. He wants to buy it and now they want him to buy it too.

Both sides were aligned when both sides signed a legally binding agreement that he would buy the company.

How on earth does it fit, Twitter weren't trying to get out of the deal, he was. Yet actually it's a great conspiracy of his because really he's the one who wanted the deal??

I don't think you know what the poison pill actually entailed or why it mattered.
the board agreed with the sale which is what the poison pill was meant to do (prevent the sale without board approval). This makes no sense
