Employees at Twitter, which is a social networking site, are once again in an uproar because Elon Musk has made a fresh bid to purchase the company.
Musk is now in discussions to buy the social network for the staggering sum of $44 billion. This is the same amount that was discussed when he was going to purchase Twitter in April, but he backed out of the agreement in July.
Twitter employees have taken to the social media site to complain about the latest turn in the long-running Twitter buyout issue, which has been going on for months.
“Living the plot of succession is f–king exhausting,” Rumman Chowdhury, the director of the META (ML Ethics, Transparency and Accountability) team at Twitter, tweeted.
“I am sitting on 2023 company wide strategy readouts and I guess we are going to collectively ignore what’s going on,” she added a few minutes later.
Parker Lyons, a senior financial analyst at Twitter, filled his page with gifs that showed how people reacted to the news that Musk had bought something, such as memes of people crying.
He tweeted, “Writing my small emails today,” with a photo of a little child sobbing while drawing a painting. The message was accompanied by the hashtag #writingmylittleemails.
He also made fun of the fact that Twitter workers wouldn’t have a job for long by posting a meme on the site.
Another member of the team urged his coworkers to go for a walk as they watched a dystopian video of a model walking down the dirt runway during the Balenciaga runway show.
According to CNN Business, workers of Twitter took to an anonymous website known as Blind to vent their frustration at the news. Blind is used by employees of a variety of firms.
A member of the crew who wishes to remain nameless commented, “Cue the layoffs.”
According to a report by the New York Times, workers at Twitter posed the question of what would take place inside the company’s Slack chat system in the event that the board of directors of Twitter did not accept Musk’s offer.
According to the article, some people were concerned that Twitter’s stock would collapse, while another staff member reportedly said that the firm would not have to be controlled by “a fool” in a channel with roughly 2,000 members.
Musk himself tweeted about his upcoming acquisition and mentioned that he might make an app soon.
“Buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app,” he said.
