Murugesan says Twitter executives are hating the truth that Musk might find yourself shopping for the corporate and plenty of of them are planning to fairly given the variations in working philosophy.
"He is a capitalist and we weren't actually working as capitalists, extra like very socialist. Like we're all commie as f***," he says, describing a piece tradition that may be very relaxed and emphasises points such psychological well being of staff greater than including to the bottomline.
