Elon Musk, who raised social media after his attempt to buy Twitter, has now started to threaten company employees. Tesla CEO, who recently said that he will fire 75 percent of the employees in his Twitter office, managed to confuse the company.
What’s going on between Elon Musk and Twitter?
Elon Musk’s process of acquiring Twitter has completely turned into a mess. Musk has created some plans for the companies he is the CEO of. According to the report in the Washington Post, it plans to lay off about 5,600 Twitter employees in the possible acquisition.
Elon Musk’s latest statements had a great impact on Twitter. Twitter executives and top investors reportedly tried to calm the company’s employees. The platform’s general counsel sent a note to the employees after the allegation of “firing” and said that they do not have any plans for this issue.
“We do not have any confirmation of the buyer’s (Elon Musk) plans being closely followed, and we recommend that you do not follow rumors or leaked documents, but instead wait for the facts directly from us and the buyer,” he said.
According to internal conversation posts leaked to social media, employees are worried that Musk will agree to some terms. Under the terms of the agreement, Musk will continue to pay Twitter employees their salaries and benefits for one year.
Still, Twitter may fall short in reassuring its employees. Musk stated that he plans to make big changes when the $44 billion Twitter bid is completed. The Tesla CEO said he wanted more freedom of speech on the platform.
