Kevin Roose, a technology columnist for the <em>Times<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/10\/05\/technology\/elon-musk-twitter-predictions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">predicts<\/a> employees will revolt if the deal goes through.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Virtually every Twitter employee I\u2019ve spoken to in the last six months has told me that he or she plans to leave if Mr. Musk takes over,&#8221; Roose wrote. &#8220;It\u2019s also worth noting that Mr. Musk may not mind if thousands of Twitter employees show themselves the door.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Twitter\u2019s chief executive Parag Agrawal claimed &#8220;a large silent majority&#8221; of employees supported Musk\u2019s vision, according to text messages between Agrawal and Musk released during the recent legal battle.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter has a &#8220;vocally progessive&#8221; workforce, according to Roose, who may fear Musk will abandon their mission of promoting &#8220;healthy conversation.&#8221; According to Musk, his bid to buy the social media giant is an attempt to protect free speech on the platform. He has tentative plans to reinstate permanently banned Twitter accounts,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/elon-musk-donald-trump-twitter-allow\/\">including<\/a> former\u00a0president Donald Trump\u2019s account. His only exceptions would be for &#8220;spam accounts and those that explicitly advocate violence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think [banning Trump from Twitter] was a mistake because it alienated a large part of the country and did not ultimately result in Donald Trump not having a voice,&#8221; Musk told the <em>Financial Times<\/em> in a May <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/50d2861e-fdeb-487c-b052-f2021558e87d\">interview<\/a>.  &#8220;Banning Trump from Twitter didn&#8217;t end Trump&#8217;s voice. It will amplify it among the right, and that is why it&#8217;s morally wrong and flat-out stupid.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter could he quickly downsizing if the just-revitalized sale to Elon Musk goes through, with the New York Times reporting Twitter employees say they will quit if Musk, who pledges to promote free speech on the platform, buys the company.<br \/>\nThe post A Twitter Employee Exodus Could Be Just Around the Corner appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1262,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1674115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1674115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1674115"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1674115\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1674115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1674115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1674115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
