Hope and fear as Elon Musk joins Twitter board


Twitter employees are voicing concerns after Elon Musk promised to make ‘significant improvements‘ to the social media platform as a company board member and majority shareholder. After news broke that the Tesla CEO had made a $3 billion investment in the platform, many took to Twitter to share their feelings.

“Good morning to our new overlord,” Lara Cohen, the company’s Global Head of Partners, wrote in a since-deleted tweet.

Twitter announced this week that Musk would hold a seat on the company’s board of directors until the platform’s 2024 annual shareholders meeting.

Other board members seemed receptive to Musk, who has 80 million Twitter followers, joining their ranks, with several issuing welcome messages online, including platform founder Jack Dorsey.

IT’S THE TWITTER TAKEOVER MANY WERE HOPING FOR BUT NOBODY WAS REALLY EXPECTING

THIS WEEK ELON MUSK BECAME A BIG BOSS ON TWITTER AFTER BUYING MORE THAN 9 PERCENT OF THE COMPANY’S SHARES

HE SAYS HE WANTS TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES AND THAT HAS PEOPLE SPLIT

CONSERVATIVES HAVE FOR A LONG TIME ACCUSED TWITTER OF A LEFT WING BIAS – BLASTING THE PLATFORM FOR THEIR CENSORSHIP OF CONTENT AND … CERTAIN PEOPLE

LIKE DONALD TRUMP.

TWITTER IS A PRIVATE COMPANY BUT

WITH NEW PROMISES, THERE’S HOPE BANS COULD BE OVERTURNED 

JIM BANKS TWEETING IF ELON MUSK CAN CLEAN UP TWITTER AND STOP ONLINE CENSORSHIP – I’M ALL FOR HIM TAKING OVER THE WHOLE DAMN THING

 

BUT SOME TWITTER EMPLOYEES ARE BITING THEIR NAILS – NOT REALLY SURE WHICH DIRECTION MUSK WILL TAKE THE COMPANY

IN A NOW DELETED TWEET, THIS TWITTER EMPLOYEE WROTE GOOD MORNING TO OUR NEW OVERLORD – 

MUSK TAKING A SEAT ON TWITTER’S CORPORATE BOARD OF DIRECTORS COULD RESHAPE THE SOCIAL GIANT AS WE KNOW IT

FOR THE BETTER OR WORSE? ONLY TIME WILL TELL. BUT WHERE DO YOU WANT TO SEE TWITTER GO? LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS BELOW
