The company has consistently been malfunctioning.
Jack Dorsey, the founder of the company, responded to a message on Saturday about the company's board of directors.
One user wrote in the thread that good boards don't create good companies, but a bad board will kill a company.
In May, the board of directors will meet and vote on whether or not to keep Dorsey on as a board member.
If his current bid fails, Musk says there is a plan B to acquire the micro-blogging site.
The criticism of the board comes as Musk submitted a bid to buy the company. Musk has been buying equity in the social-media giant throughout most of the year, and now he wants to take over the entire company.
Musk's $43 billion offer is well above the current market cap of the company, and represents only a small portion of his fortune. Only 28 people have the fortune to match or surpass Musk's offer to buy Twitter.
The poison pill was adopted to ward off Musk's takeover attempt.
The pill cuts off Musk's ability to make a tender offer over the heads of the board, according to a professor at Boston College Law School. He cannot go directly to the shareholders with his offer.
During Monday morning's trading, the stock moved 4.9% higher, but is down 31.9% over the last 12 months.
Since the announcement of Musk's 9.2% stake in the company on April 4, the shares have risen 15%.
