Don’t know what direction Twitter will go in: CEO Parag Agrawal tells anxious employees after Elon Musk buys social media giant

The Hindu  

Twitter’s India-born CEO Parag Agrawal has told worried employees that he doesn’t know “what direction this company will go in” once the whopping $44 billion deal, which will take the social media giant private, closes with new owner billionaire Elon Musk. Deeply proud of our teams and inspired by the work that has never been more important.” The NYT report said that in the meeting with Twitter employees, Agrawal and Taylor “nodded to the emotions of the day and how workers were most likely processing the news of a sale.” Agrawal said compensation would remain largely the same under Musk but “he did not make the same assurances about Twitter’s policies and culture,” the NYT report said. In response to a question about whether former President Donald Trump, who was permanently suspended from the social networking site in January 2021, would be allowed back on the platform, Agrawal said “We constantly evolve our policies.” Following the acquisition, Musk, the world's wealthiest person, said, “Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated." The social media site’s co-founder Jack Dorsey, who had stepped down in November last year, had declared that his “trust" in Agrawal “as our CEO is bone deep” when he had named the India-born executive as Twitter’s new CEO on November 29, 2021.
