Twitter Employees Sweating as New Shareholder Elon Musk Assumes Board of Directors Position

👤Elon Musk is taking a prominent role at 🐦Twitter, and it could mean accountability for the left.

Musk became the single largest shareholder in the censorious 📱Social media network in one day on Monday.

He owns more than 9 percent of 🐦Twitter stock after a mass buy, and CEO Parag Agrawal announced Tuesday that Musk would assume a position on the company’s board of directors.

The Tesla CEO and SpaceX founder said in response that he plans to implement “significant improvements” to 🐦Twitter in the coming months.

Some employees of the leftist company were less than thrilled about the moves, as journalist Andy Ngo documented in a series of tweets.

A transgender 🐦Twitter employee said “I’m honestly kinda terrified” that Musk now has a degree of power over 🐦Twitter policies.

“A prominent transphobe buying a large stake in 🐦Twitter is not at all 😄Funny,” the data scientist said. (It’s unclear why Musk was given that label, but in 2020, he tweeted, “Pronouns suck.”)

Another employee said he feared for the “company 🎭Culture” after Musk’s investment.

Others shared similar sentiments about Musk.

The technologist and entrepreneur has described himself as a “🗣️Free Speech absolutist,” a vision that could complicate the company’s extensive censorship of 🏛️Conservatives.

🐦Twitter shares surged considerably after Musk’s aggressive entry into the company on Monday.

Any change in 🐦Twitter policies ultimately might come through the hiring of new employees who support a 🗣️Free Speech vision where users are allowed to criticize powerful institutions.

Musk is the wealthiest man in the world, according to Forbes. The South African-born entrepreneur’s net worth is valued at more than $290 billion.
