Notes from Twitter all hands meeting... “We don’t have all the answers. This is a period of uncertainty”

Posted by budice Apr 25 '22, 14:58

Notes from Twitter all hands meeting:

- Seems clear who will be CEO after deal closes hasn’t been decided. But board chair
@btaylor did confirm the board would cease to exist once the deal closes in roughly six months.

- CEO @paraga: No plans for layoffs… “at this time”

- Employee RSUs will continue to vest as normal until the deal closes, and upon close they will be converted to cash grants on the same vesting schedule

- @paragawill stay CEO until the close but didn’t address what happens after. Said the plan is to bring Elon in for Q&A

- On Trump coming back to Twitter: “Once the deal closes we don’t know which direction the platform will go,” says Parag. It’s a question we should address with Elon.

- Parag on Elon: “He wants Twitter to be a powerful force in the world, just like all of us”

Parag: There is indeed uncertainty about what will happen after the deal closes. We’ll directly hear from Elon, and I will continue to spend time with him

“Over time the uncertainty will decrease.”

Closing statement: “We don’t have all the answers. This is a period of uncertainty”

The problem with bringing Trump - or any other... rabble rouser - back to the Twitter is that if Twitter doesn't police them, they become liable. -- nm - Mop Apr 25, 16:23 4
- based on what was said this afternoon, we may not know the real plans for six months. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 16:37 3

I certainly understand the concern and uncertainly that employees are experiencing -- (edited) - ty97 Apr 25, 15:06
My conclusion: Twitter was being effective as a force for good. So it had to die. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 15:02 3
- *snort* Have you been on Twitter? -- nm - Ender Apr 25, 15:02 2
  - Yes. I'm a Twitter Blue subscriber. - Beryllium Apr 25, 15:06 1
    - I would have sworn most billionaires and even Republicans in Washington were relieved when donny got banned, doomsday clock moved backwards -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 25, 15:50
I tend to believe most concerns are overblown. The biggest change will probably be an edit button. -- nm - Ender Apr 25, 15:01 8
- Nothing good will happen, I know that for sure. -- nm - Qale Apr 25, 16:58
- If you trust Elon Musk to do the right thing, I have a tunnel to Mars to sell you. (NM) -- (edited) - Marlowe Apr 25, 15:08 4
  - Space X isn't the one sending minor celebrities to "space" for clout. Tesla is producing actual cars. -- nm - Ender Apr 25, 15:35 2
    - And still Elon Musk is human trash. Go figure. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 25, 15:43
    - That are self-driving so when the day comes they will all be mobilized to reduce the human race. -- nm - Spawn Apr 25, 15:40
  - Bonus: 100% Flood Proof -- nm - Spawn Apr 25, 15:32
- You don't think Musk will reinstate 45's account? -- nm - David Apr 25, 15:05 1
  - That would still be secondary to an edit button. -- nm - Ender Apr 25, 15:33
