If you\u2019re in SF and see him around, say hi!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the day, Musk said that one of the things that he most appreciated about the platform was how it empowered citizen journalism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA beautiful thing about Twitter is how it empowers citizen journalism \u2013 people are able to disseminate news without an establishment bias,\u201d Musk tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd do you consider local news citizen journalism?\u201d a reporter asked Musk. \u201cHave you been inside newsrooms and seen the everyday workings to make statements on news bias?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDefinitely closer to citizen journalism \u2013 local news orgs are under-appreciated &amp; should get way more prominence on Twitter,\u201d Musk responded.<\/p>\n<p>Musk will reportedly gut\u00a0Twitter\u00a0with massive cuts when he takes over, getting rid of the overwhelming majority of the company.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Post\u00a0reported that Musk told prospective investors that he plans to get rid of \u201cnearly 75 percent of Twitter\u2019s 7,500 workers, whittling the company down to a skeleton staff of just over 2,000.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-elon-musk-to-gut-twitter-report-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> that even if the Musk\u2019s acquisition of Twitter somehow does not go through, large cuts are still expected as the current people running the company planned to get rid of roughly 25% of the company\u2019s staff.<\/p>\n<p>The report said that the planned cuts by Twitter\u2019s executives helped to explain why the company wanted to sell to Musk once he made the offer.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter employees sent a list of demands to Musk at the start of the week, claiming that cutting staff \u201cwill hurt Twitter\u2019s ability to serve the public conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA threat of this magnitude is reckless, undermines our users\u2019 and customers\u2019 trust in our platform, and is a transparent act of worker intimidation,\u201d the woke employees claimed. \u201cA threat to workers at Twitter is a threat to Twitter\u2019s future. These threats have an impact on us as workers and demonstrate a fundamental disconnect with the realities of operating Twitter. They threaten our livelihoods, access to essential healthcare, and the ability for visa holders to stay in the country they work in. We cannot do our work in an environment of constant harassment and threats. Without our work, there is no Twitter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter demanded that Musk \u201ccease these negligent layoff threats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter then spelled out four core demands:<\/p>\n<p><em>Respect:\u00a0We demand leadership to respect the platform and the workers who maintain it by committing to preserving the current headcount.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Safety:\u00a0We demand that leadership does not discriminate against workers on the basis of their race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or political beliefs. We also demand safety for workers on visas, who will be forced to leave the country they work in if they are laid off.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Protection:\u00a0We demand Elon Musk explicitly commit to preserve our benefits, those both listed in the merger agreement and not (e.g. remote work). We demand leadership to establish and ensure fair severance policies for all workers before and after any change in ownership.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Dignity:\u00a0We demand transparent, prompt and thoughtful communication around our working conditions. We demand to be treated with dignity, and to not be treated as mere pawns in a game played by billionaires.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-admin-discussing-taking-new-action-over-elon-musks-business-dealings-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biden Admin Discussing Taking New Action Over Elon Musk\u2019s Business Dealings<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk kicked off his imminent takeover of Twitter by bringing a sink into the company\u2019s headquarters Wednesday afternoon as he visited the offices.
