Musk offers few details in call with Twitter employeesReutersElon Musk on Thursday addressed Twitter employees for the first time, expressing his view that Twitter would need to cut its headcount, but offering few other new details about his US$44 billion planned takeover of the social media company. “I think advertising is very important for Twitter,” Musk said. I would probably talk to the advertisers and say, like: ‘Hey, let’s just make sure the ads are as entertaining as possible.’”Musk, who was expected to provide assurance to Twitter employees during his first meeting, did not offer an update on the deal closing. They also demanded on Slack that the moderator press Musk on his views about remote work, as Twitter currently allows employees relatively free rein to work remotely or in the office. Musk said he believed Twitter staff should lean toward working in an office, but expressed willingness to make some exceptions.
