SAN FRANCISCO — Mr Elon Musk addressed Twitter employees for the first time on Thursday (June 16), expressing his view that Twitter would need to cut its headcount, but offering few other new details about his US$44 billion (S$60 billion) planned takeover of the social media company.

Mr Musk appeared via video call 10 minutes late to what turned out to be a freewheeling question and answer session moderated by a Twitter executive, in which Mr Musk mused about the existence of aliens and other space civilizations and his view that Twitter should help"civilization and consciousness."

Mr Musk, who was expected to provide assurance to Twitter employees during his first meeting, didn't offer an update on the deal closing. "Right now, the costs exceed the revenue," he said, adding"anyone who's ... a significant contributor should have nothing to worry about." Mr Musk said he believed Twitter staff should lean toward working in an office, but expressed willingness to make some exceptions. The bias should be"strongly towards working in person, but if somebody is exceptional, then remote work can be okay," he said.
