(Reuters) -Elon Musk is expected to reiterate his desire to own Twitter Inc when he speaks to the social-media company's employees on Thursday, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a person familiar with the matter. Twitter and Tesla did not immediately respond to a Reuters' request for comment outside regular business hours. Musk, the world's richest person according to Forbes magazine, is trying to buy Twitter for $44 billion. Earlier this month, Musk had said that Tesla employees were required to be in the office for a minimum of 40 hours per week, closing the door on any remote work. Twitter shares rose roughly 5% in post-market trading, after closing up 2% on Wednesday.
