Elon Musk will speak to Twitter employees for the first time at a corporate meeting

Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk will speak to Twitter employees at a company town hall this week for the first time since entering into an agreement in April to buy the social media giant for $ 44 billion.

The meeting will take place practically on Thursday, when Musk will answer questions from Twitter employees, said a source to Business Insider, who quotes an email to employees from Twitter boss Parag Agrawal.

A number of Twitter employees have expressed concern about Musk’s acquisition of the company. The billionaire has called out Twitter employees and the company’s business in recent months.

Agrawal was forced to deal with angry employees during a company-wide meeting in April. The employees demanded answers on how the expected mass exodus as a result of Musk’s purchase would be handled.

And earlier this month, Musk suggested he could withdraw from the deal to buy Twitter if it failed to provide data showing the number of spam or fake accounts on the platform. Twitter claims that spam and fake accounts make up less than 5% of the platform’s users, but Musk believes the number is much higher.
