On Thursday, Twitter employees learned that Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, had offered more than $43 billion to buy the social media behemoth, which he would then take private.<\/p>\n

Twitter will conduct an all-hands meeting on Thursday to address the problem, according to Fox News Digital, since some employees are concerned about Musk’s potential takeover.<\/p>\n

Many analysts predicted that the news would drive leftist Twitter staffers fleeing for cover. However, ex-Google consultant Joe Toscano, who was featured heavily in the Netflix documentary “The Social Dilemma,” has dealt with big tech employees for years and believes the news will polarize employees.<\/p>\n

“I would bet there’s a good chunk of them that are super excited about it, because there’s probably a lot of them that have cool ideas for the platform but haven’t been able to do anything because of the stagnant leadership that Twitter currently has. So, I think there’s probably a lot of them that are excited, but I’m sure there’s also a large chunk of them who are scared because Elon Musk, all due respect to his work, represents a radical leader and could dramatically change their operation,” Toscano said<\/p>\n

Toscano noted Musk could fire staff that he sees as “unworthy or nonfunctional,” which is a concern for employees.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m sure there are people who are in fear,” he said.<\/p>\n

Twitter employees, who were said to have had a “day of rest” on Monday, were “super stressed” to hear Musk decided not to take a seat on the company\u2019s board of directors because he would be free to attack the platform.<\/p>\n

Musk previously pitched the idea of turning Twitter\u2019s San Francisco headquarters into a shelter for the homeless and staffers would be required to work remotely going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
