Twitter CEO tells employees no layoffs planned ‘at this time’ following Elon Musk buyout
The Verge ^ | 4/25/2022 | By Alex Heath and Mia Sato

Posted on 04/25/2022 3:07:10 PM PDT by NohSpinZone

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.

That’s a pretty thorough description of what can and might happen. There is also the time between now and when the deal with Musk is final-time for prep work by the left.

There aren’t many in power who can withstand a coordinated attack from the left, but Musk sees plenty more than we do and will be ready for it.

They said that the code is locked immediately after the deal was struck. Any changes in the code will require vice president approval.

Isn’t that what they all say?

A company I worked for had a habit of taking employees out to dinner at a fancy high priced place as a thank you for all that has been accomplished. And the words “we have the people in place that are critical to our success” were said at each one. And 30-45 days later, another round of people were dismissed. I began to refer to those outings as the last supper.

I hope Musk gets rid of this Parag Agrawal. I think he is a big part of the problem.I doubt he cares for free speech liberties.

Musk is a VERY, VERY, SMART guy amazingly smart, it has to do with his Asperger’s he is focused to the extreme degree and with this syndrome they don’t have empathy SO the liberal tears mean nothing to Musk, when Musk took over Telsa he completely cleaned house!! He needs to surround himself with constitutional warriors which he will EVERYTHING Musk touches turns to gold HOWEVER he hasn’t had to deal with the absolute RATH of the regime I pray he is ready for what is coming his way, like I said with Asperger’s feelings don’t matter the GOAL is all that matters, he is wicked smart he will find his way!!

‘No Layoffs at this time.’ Yeah, but that was 3 hours ago.

“Good article, thanks for posting the link. what it predits is accurate.”

Hardly. It’s the usual collection of hand-wringers who pop up here and scream that we’re all gonna die.

Parag is an American success story.
Kid grew up in Mumbai, went to Stanford, interned at Microsoft, and at age 37 he becomes a potentate LOL.

ROTFL! Well, if that's what you took away, fine. I'll be the last one to discuss it with you.

While President Trump has said he isn’t coming back to them, he should use a proxy to do so, because it is just too valuable a means for him to get the word out.

That is, he can personally use his Truth Social account, but his proxy Twitter account can amplify his really important messages as well as advertise his Truth Social account.

Plus his proxy on Twitter will not be constrained by having to be polite against insufferable trolls.

The authentication of Twitter accounts and the subsequent uprooting of bot accounts is where the deep state players will be revealed and destroyed.

Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal should be the first puke to go.
Also be expecting sabotage from within.

I am expecting (or at least hoping) that the snowflake will quit on their own (’in protest’, ya know).
