so my understanding is at twitter HQ, the folks running things in the “war room” are Musk, David Sacks, Jason Calacanis (VCs/Elon pals) Sriram Krishnan (exTwitter/current a16z), Elon’s legal and finance head guys (Spiro, Birchall) and a fleet of Tesla/BoringCo engineers

currently an emergency twitter all-hands going on with Elon Musk answering employee Q's

Elon was asked: "How are you going to deal with the expected attrition and align everyone on a shared vision?"

Elon Answer: "I don't know....we all need to be more hardcore."
updates to come in today's story w/ @kateconger and @RMac18

on the call, Musk was also asked about the company's financial runway and how it was doing in terms of the business

Musk mentioned that TWTR had "net negative cash flow of several billion dollars" and that he recently sold a bunch of Tesla stock in order to "save the company"

six outcomes in musk land:

1. Elon changes his mind (again) and the deal closes

2. Twitter sues Elon, they go to court in Delaware, Elon is ordered to pay $1b breakup fee

3. Twitter sues Elon, court orders “specific performance” and he has to pay debt financing amount ($33b~)
4. Twitter sues Elon, court orders in elons favor, he walks away

5. Twitter sues Elon, they settle for undisclosed amount

(@matt_levine’s emergency newsletter today has a real good section on what may bring that about and how)
then there number six which people keep bringing up and I have no idea of the answer to:

Twitter sues Elon, court rules in elons favor, elon refuses to comply anyway

literally dunno what happens here; maybe the courts go after the banks who are lined up for debt financing?

good morning!

Elon Musk is addressing Twitter employees for the first time today. Follow me and my NYT colleagues for updates as we get them.

nytimes.com/live/2022/06/1…
we're still on question one: "Why do you love twitter," and elon's answer was pretty long and rambling, but one thing he said was that he appreciated "Freedom of speech, and Freedom of Reach."
here’s musk broadcasting from what appears to be a hotel room, on his phone!
