If you own 1 share of Twitter and you're on the board, and you own no other shares, will that 1 share be much incentive, do you think?

And what are the chances that a large publicly held company has board members who own just that company's stock??

That misrepresents my point. Most people strive to increase their fortune no matter whether it represents a large share of a company's total market value or not. If they have a large stake in one company compared to other investments, then that company represents a larger leverage for them to increase their fortune.

There are many avenues for increasing your personal fortune through influence over twitter other than increasing the value of your shares-- particularly when you own relatively few twitter shares.
