ELON MUSK: I mean, I'm tweeting more or less stream of consciousness. It's not like, ‘Let me think about some grand plan about my Twitter’ or whatever. I'm literally on the toilet or something, like, "Ha-ha, this is funny." And then tweet that out, you know. That's like most of them.
SEAN: (Loosely to the tune of “One Week” by the Barenaked Ladies) It’s been one week since Elon Musk took over Twitter and Shirin Ghaffary is here from Recode to tell us how it’s going. It’s Today, Explained.
SHIRIN GHAFFARY (Recode senior reporter): It has been chaotic, to say the least.
SHIRIN: Elon started off on day one, walking into Twitter's headquarters with a sink in his hand to make a pun…
ELON MUSK: You just can’t help it – let that sink in.
SHIRIN: … ‘let it sink in that’ he's now the owner of Twitter. He made the rounds with employees, chatted with them in the coffee room. And while it may look kind of, you know, collegiate in pictures and funny, it's actually really not to all the Twitter employees who are sitting there waiting in fear to see if they'll be fired or laid off.
CNN: Elon Musk holding his first town hall with Twitter employees since agreeing to acquire the company for $44 billion. The big question: layoffs? Which Musk didn’t rule out. He said, “Right now, Twitter’s costs exceed the revenue. So that’s not a great situation to be in. But anyone who’s obviously like a significant contributor should have nothing to worry about.”
KRON4: Dissolving the board was just one of the changes that Musk has made since acquiring that social media platform. Musk already fired some of the company’s top execs, including the CEO, CFO, and head of legal policy.
KTVU: Last week, Musk fired 4 top twitter executives for cause, which means the company can avoid paying severance and unvested stock awards to those executives.
SHIRIN: One source described it as an information vacuum; that Twitter employees are looking to news reports, are looking to Vox and The New York Times to find out what's actually going on at the company. They're just sitting there with no updates. And there's also people trying to prove to Elon that their team or their job is worth it. So you see people spitting out and pitching new ideas and products. And Elon's also ordering some folks to sit there and deliver on these intense deadlines, to do things like, for example, bring back Vine, reportedly, the old Twitter short form video app.
VINE: Officer, I got one question for you: WHAT ARE THOOOOOSE?
SHIRIN: I'm hearing about employees working 12 hour shifts over the weekend, sleeping in conference rooms, to basically make sure that they can keep their job. And then we hear on Wednesday night from a Bloomberg exclusive report that Musk is indeed planning to lay off half the staff. That's something like 3700 to 3800 employees on Friday in one big swoop. This would probably be one of the most dramatic changes in the history of this company, definitely the biggest personnel change that we've ever seen. And it would really, like, risk Twitter being able to run the way we expect it to day to day.
