Twitter employees tell Elon Musk he’ll buy the platform

The employees of Twitter Inc TWTR were reportedly 45 minutes into a three-hour long planning session for the upcoming year when they heard that Tesla Inc TSLA CEO Elon Musk had revived his offer to purchase the platform.

What happened when an employee shared their suspicions on the Stonks channel, according to Platformer, an independent newsletter from Casey Newton, who also leads Silicon Valley coverage for The Verge.

I don't understand why Elon would need to propose the deal again, they wrote. The original one is still there. Another employee said they generally have a low opinion of Musk and they would rather see Musk on Twitter already.

As bad as Jack Dorsey was at his job, Twitter had one of the best cultures work-life balance benefits in the industry. I learned a lot, met some awesome folks, enjoyed the ride, now time to leave the theme park and let the new owner build what he wants to say to another employee on Blind, an app where employees can discuss their workplaces anonymously, according to Newton.

How do I buy Twitter TWTR Shares?

Why It Matters: Even though some Twitter employees expressed their disdain for Musk, the company's CEO Parag Agrawal received high praise.

An employee wrote a headline in a post that said, You outmaneuvered Musk, came out uncathed and millions of dollars richer. You have FU money under 40, and your reputation is largely intact. Don t hate the player. In September, leaked text messages from Musk revealed his frustration with Agrawal. A text from Musk reads that fixing Twitter by chatting with Parag won't work.

On Tuesday, Musk said that buying Twitter is an important factor in creating X, the Everything app. There is no clarity at the moment regarding what form such an app would take.

Price Action: On Tuesday, the shares of Twitter were 22.3% higher at $52.01 in the regular session. The shares were largely unchanged in the extended hours, according to Benzinga Pro data.
