Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, as you may remember, bought social media giant Twitter in the past weeks. Spending $44 billion for the platform, Musk is working on his future plans and thinking about how he can make Twitter better.
A few days ago, there were reports that Elon Musk will temporarily become the CEO of Twitter. While the discussions on this claim are still ongoing, the job application advertisements made to the company were another issue that attracted attention. Because Twitter, whose new owner is Musk, has exploded in job applications.
Twitter job applications increased by more than 250 percent
People working in social media companies turned to Twitter with the change of ownership of the platform. While Musk, the richest person in the world, has millions of fans, the number of people who want to work on Twitter has increased on this occasion.
Glassdoor senior economist and data scientist Daniel Zhao noted that between April 24 and 30, interest in Twitter jobs on Glassdoor increased by 263 percent compared to the March 2022 baseline. This demonstrates the interest that job seekers show for Musk’s company.
Sharing data on applications made to job postings on Glassdoor, ZHO said in a statement to Fortune that there is a lot of interest in Twitter. While not related, it has been noted that even potential job seekers are more interested in the company. One of the most important factors of this is of course Elon Musk. Because working in the company of Musk, the richest and most popular person in the world, is something everyone wants. So this is one of the main reasons for the interest in the social media platform. Of course, Musk also has a statement on this subject.
Elon Musk made a statement on the subject
Recently, Elon Musk shared on Twitter; “If the Twitter acquisition is complete, the company will be super focused on tough software engineering, design, information security and server hardware,” he said. It is worth emphasizing that these explanations have an important role in the applications. However, Musk has another interesting tweet on the subject. The famous billionaire; “I strongly believe that all managers in a technical field should be technically excellent. Managers in software must write great software, or he’ll be like a horseman who can’t ride! retaliated.
However, these statements of Musk caused the employees already in the company to worry. Some users thought that the statements opened a door for successful people who want to work on Twitter. It is not known whether Musk will make a change in terms of employees within the company after his interesting sharing, which caused concern, but it is already considered certain that he will change Twitter ‘in his own way’.
