As you may see, the nine-second video doesn’t add as much as an ideal deal. It’s Musk. With a sink. Getting into Twitter’s fundamental workplace. Maybe the stunt is partly defined by his up to date Twitter profile, which now reads: “Chief Twit.”
4 hours after exhibiting up on the constructing, it nonetheless wasn’t clear if Musk’s attention-grabbing arrival was supposed to verify that his acquisition of Twitter has lastly gone by way of, with representatives of Musk or Twitter failing to supply any official touch upon the matter as of early Wednesday night.
A number of hours after arriving on the headquarters, Musk tweeted that he was “assembly lots of cool individuals at Twitter in the present day,” although if current information studies turn into right, round three-quarters of them might quickly be out of a job.

The letter additionally insisted that employees who want to take action be allowed to proceed to work remotely, a apply that Musk is thought to dislike.
Extra broadly, many in Twitter’s neighborhood of round 23o million customers are involved that Musk might comply with by way of on earlier feedback and scale back moderation of content material on the platform, which might result in a rise in offensive or different problematic materials showing on the service.
With the end-of-week deadline to finish the deal looming, and Musk’s shock look at Twitter’s headquarters on Wednesday, it appears as if the acquisition is just about within the bag. If that’s the case, then within the coming days and weeks we should always start to get a transparent concept about how Twitter is prone to change underneath Musk’s possession.
