The Tesla chief executive, who is also chief executive officer of rocket company SpaceX, told Twitter staff he wants to raise the service’s user numbers from 229 million to at least 1 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.

He reiterated he was still trying to learn more about bot and spam accounts on Twitter, which he called his biggest concern. Twitter employees took to an internal Slack channel in droves during the session, posting memes and complaining that Mr. Musk was not providing useful answers on his vision for the business and employee compensation.
