Musk is going to buy Twitter, then he backs out, then Twitter is sewing Musk, then Musk says he's done....then all of a sudden, poof....Musk buys Twitter.Have you been paying attention to all of the Twitter drama over the past few months? Musk is going to buy Twitter, then he backs out, then Twitter is sewing Musk, then Musk says he's done....then all of a sudden, poof....Musk buys Twitter. There's certainly an uproar going on in Twitter's management. Apparently executives were fired and a lot of the current staff, it's rumored will not be invited to stay. It's also being said that Musk, is looking at reinstating some of the people that were banned from Twitter. I did read that he created his own review board, but as of today, apparently disbanded that and crowned himself the decision maker on reinstating banned members. Now that musk is the Chief Twit, how do you feel about Twitter. Were you a tweeter on Twitter? Are you happy or sad that Musk has purchased Twitter? Will you stay at Twitter or will you leave Twitter for another place to "tweet" your messages...though it will be called something else, I suppose?

Twitter sued for mass layoffs.
I think Twitter's new Chief Twit has his hands full from his first week as the new owner of Twitter.
At Twitter, “We’ll be watching the situation to make sure the employees are treated fairly and as the law requires,” Liss-Riordan said Friday. “Billionaires are not above the law.”

Musk warns of Twitter bankruptcy as more senior executives quit.
From Reuter's and reposted on Yahoo News:
(Reuters) -Twitter Inc's new owner Elon Musk on Thursday raised the possibility of the social media platform going bankrupt, capping a chaotic day that included a warning from a U.S. privacy regulator and the exit of the company's trust and safety leader. The billionaire on his first mass call with employees said that he could not rule out bankruptcy, Bloomberg News reported, two weeks after buying it for $44 billion - a deal that credit experts say has left Twitter's finances in a precarious position. Earlier in the day, in his first company-wide email, Musk warned that Twitter would not be able to "survive the upcoming economic downturn" if it fails to boost subscription revenue to offset falling advertising income, three people who have seen the message told Reuters.
Musk's purchase of Twitter is turning into very volatile territory. Could the world live without "tweeting"?

Two weeks of chaos: Inside Musks take over of Twitter.
This article is a chronological detailing of the two weeks of Twitter since Musk's takeover.
On Oct. 28, hours after completing his $44 billion buyout of Twitter the night before, Mr. Musk gathered several human-resource executives in a “war room” in the company’s offices in San Francisco. Prepare for widespread layoffs, he told them, six people with knowledge of the discussion said. Twitter’s work force needed to be slashed immediately, he said, and those who were cut would not receive bonuses that were set to be paid on Nov. 1.

How to **** Away $44 Billion: An Elon Musk Timeline
Article originally written in the Daily Beast but re-posted by MSN.
Things were easier when the world’s richest man was simply a Twitter troll, lobbing grenades at its leadership and making juvenile references to the numbers “420” and “69.” But now the trolls have come for Musk.
What's up with Musk arriving with a bathroom sink?

The latest on Twitter....Musk has locked the doors and locked out people from their computer access for several days until Musk and team work out a plan. Kind of drastic isn't it? Twitter employees were also threatened with agreeing to work long hours or quit? You know there's employee rights.
Twitter workers brace for another round of departures
Many staffers spent the past day weighing their options, after waking up Wednesday to an overnight email in which Mr. Musk told them to fill out a form by Thursday, 5 p.m. ET, to indicate if they want to remain at the company and are willing to be “extremely hardcore.” Employees who don’t opt in will be given three months of severance, Mr. Musk said.

Elon Musk put out a poll to let Twitter people to decide if Trump should be reinstated. Trump is now reinstated and has been invited back to Twitter, however, Trump's decline to return to Twitter may have reasons linked to Truth Social.
Is Truth Social keeping Trump from returning back to Twitter?
