Meanwhile, Musk recently addressed Twitter employees for the first time in an apparent effort to “allay concerns” about the deal. Shortly after, a video went viral that allegedly showed posts from employees talking about him. Musk responded with one word: “interesting.” According to Reuters, Twitter employees posted memes on Slack as they complained that Musk failed to provide helpful answers about his vision. “He tries not to be boring,” one person wrote on Slack. There was also one person who mentioned how queer people can’t trust this man. “We’ve seen this kind of homophobia and transphobia before, there’s nothing salvageable about what he said,” the person wrote.
Musk pointed to a need for “workforce rationalization” on the microblogging platform. “Right now, the costs are exceeding the revenues. So it’s not an ideal situation. And so there would need to be some rationalization of headcount and expenses to get revenues to exceed costs,” he said in a report. However, Musk added, “Anyone who is…a major contributor shouldn’t have to worry.”
