What does Musk's takeover mean for Twitter employees

What does Musk's takeover mean for Twitter employees
In January 2020 Twitter employees gathered at the #OneTeam summit in Houston, during which CEO Jack Dorsey revealed that he had invited a special guest. In came Elon Musk waving and smiling on giant screens above the stage. The employees were at the time thrilled. 

But they have stopped celebrating the world's richest man since. Twitter employees said that were not Musk's biggest fans ever since he declared his intent to buy Twitter, scrap its content moderation policies and transform the public traded company into a private one. Over the last two weeks of the takeover, Twitter employees have been kept in the dark. They reached out to Parag Agrawal and even Musk through Twitter but didn't receive any response. Finally, on Monday afternoon Agrawal and the company chairman Bret Taylor met with the employees to give them some answers. The compensation will largely remain the same under Musk, however, such assurances cannot be made about Twitter's policies and culture. The company's over 7000 employees are concerned that Musk would undo all the work they had previously put into moderate content on Twitter not only that since the company is turning private most employees who own stocks in the company are worried about its future. 

Silences and hostility are not unfamiliar during takeovers, however, for a company like Twitter that acts as the world's town square, for its employees to find out about their status from the service they built in the first place seems like a bitter deal.
