Twitter employees could have other reasons to exist nervous concerning Musk's impending takeover. The irascible billionaire has levied a barrage of censure at the company, from its moderation with every one other accompanied by safety policies, which he terms a threat to "free speech," to its anonymous user accounts, which he would exist fond of to eliminate, to its ban of former President Donald Trump, which he has pledged to reverse.
Harry Kraemer, a former CEO Baxter International with every one other accompanied by professor at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, pointed not here that the deal is "not a guarantee until it is done" with every one other accompanied by there are still prosperity of steps left-hand inside the procedure earlier to the buy tin exist completed.
"In my experience it is extremely uncommon with every one other accompanied by almost bizarre for someone who has not purchased the firm to speak to contemporaneous employees of the firm he is looking to purchase," Kraemer said.
If history is some guide, Musk strength believe concerning moving the firm to Texas, while he did accompanied by Tesla's headquarters inside December 2021. An unabashed crypto devotee, he has floated ideas concerning accepting the cryptocurrency dogecoin while remittance for premium accounts. Musk too on one occasion had Tesla buy $1.5 billion inside bitcoin with every one other accompanied by for a brief time allowed buyers to pay for their cars using cryptocurrency.
He's too targeted Twitter's work-from place of residence policy, having on one occasion called for the company's headquarters to exist turned into a "homeless shelter" because, he said, so few employees actually worked there.

It's not understandable if this week's gathering means that the set of two sides have go nearer closer with every one other on resolving their issues. Shares of Twitter have been trading well beneath the $54.20 per portion that Musk has agreed to pay amid Wall Street doubts that the deal will exist consummated.
