Elon Musk CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and many other companies made a shock announcement last week. He became Twitter’s largest shareholder after purchasing a 9.1% stake in the company. Ever since that announcement broke tech news, there have been plenty of rumors circulating as to what exactly will he be doing at the company.
Given Elon Musk’s unpredictability and at times controversial activities it adds to the narrative that he may have something up his sleeve. This anticipation it seems has gotten to some of the employees working at Twitter. Apparently, it seems employees are taking a “day off” from the company as Elon Musk’s influence grows.
Overall Twitter is seen as practically another one of Elon Musk experiments at this point. It further adds to the personality and brand of Elon Musk. Given Twitters role over the last recent in policing “freedom of speech”, analysts are wondering whether he will make significant changes in that arena, as he was recently talking about creating a social media for “free speech”.
Given Elon Musk character, it’s impossible not to see his presence being felt at the company. It remains to be seen whether it will be positive or negative.
