Elon Musk addresses Twitter staff for first time since bid to buy platform
Twitter needs to allow more space for people to say whatever they want, Musk said, as long as it doesn’t violate the law. But he added that the company needs to balance that by making sure people “feel comfortable” on the service, otherwise they won’t use it, according to people familiar with the discussion. His goal is to expand Twitter’s user base to 1 billion users, he said. The company had about 229 million daily active users as of March.
When asked about potential layoffs, Musk didn’t dismiss the idea, saying that Twitter “needs to get healthy.”Twitter started allowing full-time remote work more than two years ago, and Musk was asked multiple questions at the meeting about the staff’s future ability to keep working from home. Musk said that the priority would be for people to work together in person, but if someone is “exceptional at their job” then it’s possible for those people to continue working remotely.
Musk wasn’t directly asked and didn’t address the question of whether he is committed to buying Twitter. He has created concern over recent weeks that he was no longer interested in acquiring Twitter, or might want to lower the per-share price.
