Twitter CEO tells employees no layoffs planned ‘at this time’ following Elon Musk buyout

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. The company’s board will dissolve once the deal closes, said Brett Taylor, the board’s independent chair.

“There is indeed uncertainty about what will happen after the deal closes,” Agrawal told staff.

If Elon's history at Tesla is any indicator, many of these snowflakes will do well to update their resumes.

Hit the bricks, pal.

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if he appointed Donald Trump as the CEO?

Sleep well, Twit peeps. Because Mr. Agrawal has never, ever lied before.

Haha! That’s like when the owner of my company emailed “I don’t think we will ever mandate vaccines”, which anyone with half a brain knew meant “I will mandate vaccines if I can find political cover to do so.”

Agreed. The snowflakes and wokesters might want to start seeking new employment before Elon shows them the wonderous new door he’s about to design for them.

At this point, unauthorized copies of the accounts have likely been stashed offsite. And a plan to breach the accounts on a massive scale is also likely underway.

He has no layoffs planned at this time... while he’s CEO.

New owners may have a difference of opinion about both.
