Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal didn’t have many concrete answers for staff about what will happen once Elon Musk takes over the company later this year. During a virtual all-hands call Monday, hours after the company announced it had agreed to be bought by Musk for $44 billion, Agrawal fielded questions on the future of his job, the company’s board, and possible layoffs.
Layoffs aren’t planned “at this time,” Agrawal said, according to a person who heard the remarks and who asked to remain anonymous. Agrawal also said that he’d remain as CEO until the deal’s close, but he didn’t comment about what would happen after that.

I hope Pierogi is the first to get the axe 🪓.
Agrawal needs to be firmly canceled, with prejudice.
Do we really have enough hazmat cleanup guys and gals to do their thing after all the exploding leftists that would ensue?
When was the last time there was a buyout with no layoffs? Musk just ponied up $45 million for a barely profitable enterprise. He and his fellow investors will want their money back.
Read this article. It predicts what will happen and its scary. Hope it doesn’t come true.

When a CEO says “No layoffs planned”, dust off the old resume.
Starbucks is hiring.
“Maybe they can land a job at Tinder or Grindr...”
They undoubtably can, but,
eeeww
(ok, breathe, bad thoughts out, breathe, good thoughts in, repeat...)
“Twitter CEO tells employees no layoffs planned ‘at this time’ following Elon Musk buyout”
but Agrawal added: “However, everyone in the Censorship Department would be wise in updating their resumes and get them into circulation ASAP to beat the rush.”
Angry Twitter staff are told in emergency meeting that their jobs are only safe for six months until Musk completes his $44bn takeover as they demand to know if they will be forced to return to office
Infinity up votes !!
Nuke it from orbit.
At this hour on Twitter they just posted that Twitter had accepted the bid from Elon Musk and changed the trending headline from “Donald Trump found in contempt” to just “Donald Trump.”
BILLION !!
What part of this article is scary to you?
Are you saying restoring Constitutionally protected freedom of speech and thought would scare you?
Mr. Musk, I’m sure Free Republic could be purchased for under $2 billion.
A ten percent commission would be gratefully received.
