Leadership styles right from the toilet
What does the richest man in the world do on a Wednesday afternoon?
He carries a bathroom sink into Twitter headquarters.
“Let that sink in” Elon Musk announced.
Musk has a deadline of Friday to complete his purchase of Twitter, or he’ll be in court next week.
Since he announced he was buying Twitter for $43B a few months ago, he’s been waffling about his intentions.
He’s been accused of trying to get out of the deal by creating uncertainty.
Lots of uncertainty and chaos.
He’s concerned about bots that are haunting the entire internet.
Twitter provided all of their data and he wants more.
He tried to use this to lower the price he agreed to or to get out of the deal.
He said he was going to shut down the San Francisco headquarters.
He said he was going to lay off 75% of the employees.
He’s going to require every Twitter employee to work in the office 100% of the time even though they have a flexible work program.
Every day it feels like he’s taunting Twitter employees.
No wonder there’s a mass exodus happening.
