Elon Musk’s renewed offer to purchase Twitter has employees on the social media platform once more in an uproar.
Musk is in talks to amass the social network for a whopping $44 billion — the unique price floated when he was set to buy Twitter in April before he pulled out of the deal in July.
Following the most recent development within the months-long Twitter buyout saga, staffers aired their grievances on the social media platform.
“Living the plot of succession is f–king exhausting,” Rumman Chowdhury, the director of the META (ML Ethics, Transparency and Accountability) team at Twitter, tweeted.
“I’m sitting on 2023 company wide strategy readouts and I assume we’re going to collectively ignore what’s occurring,” she added a number of minutes later.
Parker Lyons, a senior financial analyst at Twitter, filled his page with reactionary gifs to the Musk purchasing news — including many crying memes.
“Writing my little emails today,” he tweeted alongside a photograph of a young girl crying while coloring an image.
He also posted a meme joking that there can be no job security for Twitter employees.
One other staffer encouraged his colleagues to go for a stroll alongside a dystopic video of a model strutting down the mud runway on the Balenciaga runway show.
On Blind, an anonymous forum utilized by employees of various firms, Twitter employees lashed out on the news, in line with CNN Business.
“Cue the layoffs,” one anonymous staffer wrote.
In Twitter’s internal Slack messaging system, employees questioned what would occur if Twitter’s board didn’t accept Musk’s offer, the Recent York Times reported.
Some nervous Twitter’s stock would plummet, while one staffer said the corporate wouldn’t need to be owned by “a moron” in a channel with nearly 2,000 members, in line with the paper.
Musk himself tweeted about his forthcoming purchase and alluded to making a future app.
“Buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the all the things app,” he said.
