Elon Musk will address Twitter Inc employees for the first time this week at a company-wide meeting since launching his $44 billion proposals in April, according to a source who cited an email from Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal to employees. Musk will answer questions directly from Twitter staff during the meeting on Thursday.
Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal announced the meeting on Monday, according to Insider, and it will be moderated by Twitter's chief marketing officer Leslie Berland. Employees at Twitter have previously expressed concern about Musk's potential involvement with the social media platform.
Agrawal reportedly stated in an email that the meeting would cover "topics and questions that have been raised over the past few weeks."
Leslie Berland, the company's Director of Human Resources and Marketing, will moderate the meeting.
Concern has spread among the social network's employees since Musk announced his plans to buy the company. Furthermore, his messages in favor of face-to-face work at the company (he believes it is acceptable to telecommute if you first work 40 hours a week in the office) do not fit well with the Californian company's culture.
Musk's working methods are well known and opposed to those of Twitter, where it is also feared that the buyer will relocate the company's headquarters, as he did with Tesla.
Some of these issues may be discussed at the meeting on Thursday. Agrawal has argued with the company's apparent future owner about the fake user accounts or profiles. Many believe that the tycoon's criticism of the company's management puts his position in jeopardy.
The current Twitter CEO, on the other hand, has a shield or "golden parachute," as the operation's brochure calls it, worth slightly more than $60 million.
Four directors would be eligible for compensation totaling 148 million dollars. Employees aren't the only ones who are worried. Twitter shareholders are concerned that Elon Musk will try to withdraw his offer.
Investors are skeptical that the operation will take place, and the price is around 37 dollars, far less than the 54.20 promised by the world's richest man. Musk has called the operation into question, claiming that the company has more false user profiles than it has declared.
He has created the impression in the market that the businessman wishes to renegotiate the price downwards, at a time when the prices of all technology companies have fallen precipitously.
Twitter, on the other hand, is adamant that Musk follow the terms of the agreement.
