Twitter-Musk Deal aftermath: Layoffs?

The Elon Musk deal has also incited feelings of fear, hope, and nervousness. As reported by The Verge, before the deal was official, CEO Agrawal set up a virtual all-hands call with his employees to inform them about the finalisation of the Musk deal. He announced that no layoffs are planned “at this time”. He further agreed that “There is indeed uncertainty about what will happen after the deal closes. Once the deal closes we don’t know which direction the platform will go.”

Agrawal has confirmed that he will remain as the company’s CEO until the deal is closed, however, he did not reveal what will happen after that. Brett Taylor, the board’s independent chair has announced that Twitter’s board will dissolve once the deal closes.
