What Will Elon Musk Say?

 This past week....Musk went out with his billions and bought around 9-percent of Twitter.  I would say the best description of the 24 hours after that....it'd be like some kid putting a crate of fireworks on a bonfire, with people standing there in anticipation of what is to come.

By the end of the week....a fair number of Twitter employees were all worried about what Musk is going to do, and the CEO discussed this with Musk....to which Elon said....why don't you just run a townhall meeting and give me questions to answer?  So this is being arranged.

It appears to be an employee-viewing only (I'd actually pay $40 to view the 'chat').  Occurring?  Well....the hint is next week.

What will Musk say?  I've sat and pondered over this, and written my Musk-intro to this townhall (if this were me speaking):

Good morning.

So to begin with....if you didn't grasp my background....I don't run failed companies like K-Mart, Blockbuster, Polaroid, Pan Am, or Tower Records.  

To be honest, running failed strategies around Map-Quest, Atari, or Enron wouldn't suit my taste, and probably would not be on your top five-hundred desires in life.

I also don't accept stagnant innovation, having useless employees around, or having a dozen levels of management existing.

I hire people to a job description.  That's your focus....if you think you've got a dozen-odd jobs....like lecturing people, or writing filler-material for 'content', or being judge-and-jury over some non-existent problem....maybe this is not your job.

For those who come into work each day....all tangled up over personal issues and you can't seem to contribute to the end-purpose of the company....you either need to clean your personal situation or move on.

Sheep-herders are hired to safely stand over and protect their flock.  Rocket engineers are hired to build rockets to get men from 'A' to 'B'....with the highest regard for safety and mission accomplished.  Nurses are hired to take the weak or injured into their care and provide a statistical chance of recovery.  You were hired with some intent to give Twitter a world-class platform, which enables people to communicate, share ideas, and give an 'entry' to voices to be heard.  If you don't share that vision....maybe you need to move on.

If you think you are a content-writer or content-owner....you are misguided.  Nothing on Twitter today is owned by the company....we simply supply the platform.

So in summing this up....Twitter is going to the next level....to innovate, improve, and to give the world a voice.  If you have a thought-process that prevents that, or personal woes that drain your outlook on life, or feel a need to be a part of a Sears-like or Circuit City-like operation....well, good luck with that resume.  Maybe one day, you will rejoin Twitter....more motivated. 

Questions?

Oh, and before we get to this part....my chief pronoun of use is 'WE'.....that is...if you are on the Twitter team.  I don't have time to waste in assembling 44k pronoun 'games' and wondering about how this pronoun improves the functional use of the stupid 'edit-button' for Twitter.
