Twitter employees speak out about Elon Musk
Twitter's board has endorsed Mr Musk's acquisition of the company, and while others have kept their counsel, its most senior member lent the deal his support. Some Twitter staff working in the field of machine learning have been critical of allowing Mr Musk a role in running the company. Rumman Chowdhury, Twitter's Director of Machine Leaning Ethics, Transparency, and Accountability, had previously tweeted that a Musk takeover could lead to a staff exodus, and she supported a previous decision not to appoint him to the firm's board of directors. One Tweet said: "I don't know what Twitter the platform or Twitter the workplace is going to look like going forward, but right now, it feels like maybe some things are just too good, too magical to last. Only time will tell." Journalist Casey Newton, writing in the Verge, said that some employees were "Open to the idea that a private Twitter run by Musk stands a better chance of improving the service than would a public company beholden to its shareholders".
