Elon Musk addressed Twitter employees for the first time on Thursday, projecting a need for"rationalization of headcount" but offering few other new details about his $44 billion takeover of the social media company.

He told Twitter staff he wants to raise the service's user numbers to at least a billion people and said advertising would remain important for the company, despite previously saying he believes Twitter should not serve ads, according to audio of the meeting heard by Reuters. Twitter employees took to an internal Slack channel in droves during the session, posting memes and complaining that Musk was not providing useful answers on his vision for the business and employee compensation.

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.
