What's incompetent about that? It seems to be exactly what he did...
This "journalist" doesn't qualify anything and makes a statement of fact that Musk mounted hostile takeover bid.
That is simply bad reporting.
The poison pill was adopted to forestall any hostile attempt if the offer was rejected and try to secure a better bargaining position if they decided to accept the offer.

Zero responsible reporting called this a hostile takeover. The closest you can come is journalists who speculated that a hostile takeover might be attempted if the offer to the board were rejected. There is nothing beyond speculation to show that this was ever a possibility.
