Will Musk lift the ban on Donald Trump? Are there going to be layoffs? What about employee stock options? All of those questions appear to be up in the air for the time being.
Agrawal reportedly told employees that no layoffs were planned “at this time,” but admitted that he was concerned about the future. “We don’t know what direction this company will go in once the deal closes,” he told The New York Times.
Meanwhile, Twitter chairman Bret Taylor confirmed that the board of directors will be disbanded once the acquisition is completed. According to Bloomberg, the entire process could take another six months.
Many Twitter employees are concerned about the deal, and the company has reportedly “locked down changes to its platform through Friday” in an effort to protect against “rogue” employees.
