Elon Musk will quickly be going through a troublesome crowd as Twitter plans on internet hosting a city corridor with its latest board member to deal with disgruntled staff, giving them an opportunity to air-out their grievances over Musk’s new position within the firm.

Twitter is slated to maintain an AMA session (ask me something) with the richest man on Earth to debate employees issues with Musk’s appointment to the board, The Washington Post reported.

“Following our board announcement, many of you have had different types of questions about Elon Musk, and I want to welcome you to ask those questions to him,” Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal stated in a companywide e mail on Thursday, in keeping with The Post.

Twitter hasn’t set a date for its AMA session but. Meanwhile, Musk has had his fingers full (earlier than a decidedly less-tough crowd) at Tesla’s Cyber Rodeo occasion Thursday to unveil Tesla’s new $1.1 billion Gigafactory in Austin, Texas. The newish Texas resident wore a black cowboy hat and darkish sun shades. The different theme was apparently cringe because the venue was draped in blacklight, with vehicles hanging from the ceiling and a 3D drone picture of Doge and Frankenstein. If you care to see the present in its entirety, footage from the event was uploaded to Tesla’s YouTube Channel.

Musk stepped on the stage (awkwardly imho) gesturing at adoring followers, considered one of whom was in precise tears, and did a virtually 30 minute presentation about Tesla. At the top, Musk rolled out the Cybertruck, and introduced that it ought to be coming by the yr 2023. But in the event you’ve been following alongside, you already know to not have your coronary heart set on that date.

In the meantime, issues have definitely escalated between the Tesla CEO and Twitter after Musk purchased roughly 73 million shares, or 9.2%, of Twitter on March 14, making him the most important shareholder of the corporate.

Shortly after, Musk was appointed as a board member of Twitter, a lot to the dismay of lots of its staff who’re cautious of the billionaire’s affect on the corporate based mostly on his criticism of its moderation insurance policies. Musk was even enjoying round with the thought of beginning his personal social media platform to compete with Twitter. But as we’ve seen, launching your individual website doesn’t all the time go as deliberate.

Musk has had a protracted and contentious historical past with Twitter. Aside from tweeting area of interest memes, Musk has come below fireplace for inflammatory tweets concerning Covid-19, attacking the media’s protection of his firms, going after politicians like Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, or that point he gracefully announced that he was beginning a brand new college below the title Texas Institute of Technology & Science, noting that it could have “epic merch.”

As a outcome, Twitter staff have reportedly expressed issues over Musk’s involvement within the firm. One worker stated they’d possible face an HR investigation in the event that they “tweeted some of the things Elon tweets,” The Post reported.

Following buy of Twitter shares, it’s nonetheless not clear precisely whether or not that is considered one of Musk’s newest stunts to show some extent or if Musk intends on taking a extra proactive position on the board.
