By Sheila Dang-Elon Musk addressed Twitter employees for the first time on Thursday, expressing his view that Twitter would need to cut its headcount, but offering few other new details about his $44 billion planned takeover of the social media company. “I think advertising is very important for Twitter,” Musk said. He reiterated he was still trying to learn more about bot and spam accounts on Twitter, which he called his biggest concern. Musk said he believed Twitter staff should lean toward working in an office, but expressed willingness to make some exceptions. The billionaire told Twitter staff he believed users should be allowed to say “pretty outrageous things” on the site as long as the content is not illegal.
